Celestyal Discovery Embarks on First Voyage Post-Refurbishment

A New Era for Celestyal Cruises

On March 22, 2024, the Aegean Sea witnessed the graceful departure of the Celestyal Discovery from Lavrion, Athens, marking a new chapter in the cruise line’s history. With Captain Panagiotis Giakoumatos at the helm, the ship embarked on its maiden voyage, introducing Celestyal’s fresh new livery to the world. The global leadership team of Celestyal Cruises was present to greet the guests, celebrating this significant milestone.

The inaugural journey, dubbed the ‘Iconic Aegean’ itinerary, promises an enchanting experience for passengers as they explore Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos Island, and Santorini. The itinerary will soon be enhanced with the addition of Heraklion (Crete) starting April 1st. Throughout the season, from March to November, travelers can choose between a three-night or an extended four-night ‘Iconic Aegean’ cruise, with the latter offering an additional day in Rhodes.

The Celestyal Discovery, which joined the fleet in November 2023, underwent a comprehensive multi-million-euro refurbishment. The investment has revitalized the onboard social spaces and staterooms. Notable additions include Café Nation, a coffee shop serving illy coffee, the Pizza Oven eatery, and the Discovery Lounge, which will feature various brand partnerships.

The ship’s new livery is a testament to Celestyal’s commitment to modernity and collaboration within the company. It features:

  • An updated logo and wordmark with a digital-friendly design
  • A striking blue wave hull symbolizing forward motion
  • The iconic Celestyal stars
  • A unique funnel design that accentuates the vessel’s sleek lines

Looking ahead, Celestyal Journey will also receive a livery upgrade in early 2025 during scheduled maintenance in the Arabian Gulf. This aligns with the ship’s transition to year-round operations, including a winter season based in Doha, Qatar.

Celestyal CEO Chris Theophilides expressed his enthusiasm about welcoming guests aboard the new ship and highlighted the company’s rapid fleet enhancement. He emphasized Celestyal’s dedication to offering premium destination-immersive holidays that are unparalleled both at sea and ashore.

Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, reflected on the company’s evolution and its focus on customer feedback. He remarked on the importance of the new livery as a physical representation of the brand’s evolution.

Celestyal is currently offering attractive pricing for their three- and four-night ‘Iconic Aegean’ cruises aboard Celestyal Discovery, with interior cabins starting from €249 per person. This includes meals, drinks with meals, a €75 discount on prebooked shore excursions, and all port fees and service charges. Early bookings made before May 31, 2024, can also take advantage of low deposit rates.

Post-refurbishment, Celestyal Discovery enhances its Aegean journey with upgraded cabins for superior comfort, state-of-the-art wellness facilities, and diverse dining options emphasizing local cuisine, alongside advanced digital connectivity for a seamless guest experience.
