Known for its immersive travel experiences, boutique cruise line, Celestyal Cruises has introduced a new booking portal for travel agents to simplify the pre-and-post booking process for its two cruise ships.

The new functionality, available via Celestyal’s trade agent booking system gives agents the ability to book pre-and post-cruise hotel stays with transfers included.

All hotels offered are four-star rated and above, with private transfers to and from the airport, hotel and port available to guests.

The booking service is currently available on a number of 2024 and 2025 sailings departing from Athens, which include the three and four-night ‘Iconic Aegean,’ the seven-night ‘Idyllic Aegean, the seven-night ‘Steps of Paul’ and the upcoming seven-night ‘Heavenly Adriatic’ itineraries. Plans are also in place to eventually expand the offering to the Arabian Gulf.

Brandon Townsley, Celestyal Vice President and Managing Director North America, said in a statement, “We’re thrilled to introduce this new tool allowing our trade partners to offer even more comprehensive and personalized experiences for their clients. By allowing agents to seamlessly book cruise and land packages, including high-quality hotel stays and private transfers, we’re enhancing the overall value and convenience of the Celestyal experience.”

Built on a foundation of unique Greek heritage, Celestyal Cruises excels in delivering exceptional hospitality, ensuring genuine cultural immersion both onboard and onshore. Operating two brand new vessels, accommodating up to 1260 passengers each, Celestyal prioritizes highly personalized services, establishing a high-end environment that welcomes over 100,000 passengers annually from more than 130 different nationalities.
