Pleasant Holidays and its luxury brand, Journese, are now offering trips through Celestyal Cruises. 

Celestyal Cruises offers mid-size ships sailing destinations across the Mediterranean, Ionian, Adriatic and Aegean seas, with a destination focus.

Itineraries range from 3-night itineraries to 14-night itineraries, visiting destinations from the Greek Isles to Montenegro, Turkiye and more onboard its two ships, the Celestyal Journey and upcoming Celestyal Discovery, which debuts in 2024

All sailings with Celestyal include port charges, gratuities, dining, onboard entertainment, daily activities and select beverages with meals. Excursions include tours of ancient ruins, biblical history sites, food and wine experiences and more. 

“Celestyal Cruises puts the ancient world at travelers’ fingertips with onboard and shore experiences that immerse them in the rich history of Greece, Italy, Croatia, Turkiye, Montenegro and the eastern Mediterranean,” said Jack E. Richards, President and CEO. “This region offers an appealing mix of Greek hospitality, cuisine and culture in the cradle of modern civilization.”

Earlier in September, the two tour operators also announced a partnership with luxury expedition line, Atlas Ocean Voyages. Interested travelers can contact their preferred travel advisor to learn more about the trips through Pleasant Holidays or Journese.
