Celestyal Expands 2025 Programme in Response to Unprecedented Demand

Celestyal has announced an expansion of its 2025 deployment schedule due to overwhelming demand from eager travellers. Responding to positive feedback from guests, Celestyal has introduced additional sailings for both its ‘Heavenly Adriatic’ and ‘Desert Days’ cruises, offering more opportunities for unforgettable experiences at sea.

Sailing aboard the luxurious Celestyal Journey, the ‘Heavenly Adriatic’ itinerary made its debut earlier this year, followed by the upcoming inaugural voyage of the ‘Desert Days’ itinerary scheduled for November 9, 2024. However, owing to an unprecedented surge in demand, Celestyal has decided to increase its 2025 programme by adding five new departures. Additionally, the company has unveiled three- and four-night variations of their Arabian Gulf deployment to cater to diverse preferences.

Mediterranean Programme

The Mediterranean programme now includes two additional seven-night ‘Heavenly Adriatic’ cruises departing from Athens. These voyages will traverse picturesque destinations such as Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Bari, Corfu, and Katakolo. Departing on March 22 and 29, 2025, these cruises offer prices starting from £499 per person. They complement the existing eight seven-night round trip departures from Athens between April and October 2025, as well as the three ‘Summer Heavenly Adriatic’ sailings in July and August 2025, featuring calls at Venice.

Arabian Gulf Programme

In response to high demand, Celestyal has introduced three additional seven-night ‘Desert Days’ cruises departing from Doha, Qatar. These cruises will call at enchanting destinations including Bahrain, Dubai, Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi. Departing on February 15, 22, and March 1, 2025, prices start from £469 per person. These additions complement the existing 14 seven-night round trip departures from Doha, already on sale from November 2024 to December 2025, along with two special variants from Doha to Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi to Doha.

Shorter Variations

In addition to the extended cruises, Celestyal has introduced three- and four-night options for the ‘Desert Days’ itinerary. These shorter variations cater to guests seeking a midweek beach cruise or a weekend city-hopping experience. Highlights include:

• A three-night segment departing from Abu Dhabi and calling at Doha, Bahrain, and Dubai.

• A four-night segment departing from Dubai and visiting Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi.

Departure dates and prices vary, providing flexibility for travellers seeking shorter getaways.

Spring Campaign

All cruises are now available for booking as part of Celestyal’s new Spring campaign. The company offers competitive lead pricing and 50% off deposits, starting from as low as £125 per booking, until April 30, 2024.

Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, expressed excitement about the increased demand for the Heavenly Adriatic itinerary and Arabian Gulf winter programme.
