| Celestyal return

CELESTYAL Cruises has announced it will resume operations on 29 May from Piraeus.

The cruise line’s seven-night Idyllic Aegean itinerary will commence in accordance with the recently announced Greek Ministry of Tourism’s roadmap to opening.

The seven-night journey starts at $949 per person and will call upon Kusadasi, Rhodes, Santorini, Lavrion, Mykonos, Milos and Crete.

Celestyal Crystal will serve the cruise line’s first voyage, with an announcement on the remainder of the fleet for 2021 to be revealed as more countries reopen and demand returns.

Crystal will also embark on shorter three and four-night itineraries, which will also be served from Lavrion.

“We are extremely encouraged by the increased global distribution and effectiveness of the vaccine and by the positive response we are receiving from our partners and guests around the world,” Celestyal Cruises CEO Chris Theophilides said.

“We will continue to monitor the positive progress of the healthy reopening of both Greece and cruising while continuing to liaise with the European and Greek health authorities”.
