Celestyal adds new ship to Mediterranean fleet

Celestyal Cruises has added a new ship to its fleet, the Celestyal Nefeli, which will replace the Celestyal Odyssey in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The 400-cabin cruise vessel will sail Celestyal’s itineraries for the next two years, with embarkation from Turkey. The ship will dock in smaller harbours throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, part of a strategy to open new destinations in Eastern Mediterranean cruising, Celestyal said. Since 2014, Celestyal has added 15 new destinations, which include Milos, Ios, Kos, Samos, Symi, Chios, Cesme and Syros, accessible to midsized vessels that comprise Celestyal’s fleet.

In 2016, Celestyal will also increase the number of bespoke-themed events on its cruises, providing even more passengers with the best of Greek culture, gastronomy, history and wine. These themed events have become core to the real Greek experience that Celestyal offers its cruisers.

Celestyal Cruises’ 2016 Iconic and Idyllic itineraries have been announced and are available at celestyalcruises.com.
