Our 3rd cruise with Celestyal 0 Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia , NSW, Australia, Aug 2026
We come to Greece every year and choose Celestyal Cruises as they start in Athens and return to Athens making life easy for us. We like this small family cruise company of 1,260 guest capacity as it keeps down the noise level and the smaller ships are able to dock in ports making on shore tour access more convenient. A wonderful company, attention to read more detail, staff were genuinely friendly, attentive and helpful, going out of their way to ensue we had a great vacation. The food in the bistro was excellent - lots of variety on a daily basis and all tasted so good that we were overeating, finishing with delicious cakes and fruit. The onboard entertainment was top class as usual.

We did lots of Greek dancing during Greek ports of call. The drinks were a bit pricey including a service charge was my main gripe. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip with lots of beautiful photos of Dubrovnik, Montenegro and Bari. We didn't go on any of the tours as they were either a bit pricey in aussie dollars or too long 5-6 hrs in the heat of the day. We decided to catch a cab to Dubrovnik Old City with lots of steps....rather than overdoing it. It was so hot we were happy to catch a cab back after 90 mins. Montenegro was simple to walk off the ship into town as was Bari with it's charming narrow street markets. I highly recommend this cruise it was great.
Fabulous time in the Greek Isles 0 Iconic Greek Islands , QLD, Australia, May 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Celestyal Discovery sailing the Greek islands of Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, Kusadasi. The ship was fabulous, food plentiful and delicious, so much variety! The staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved it. The ports were great and for the most part enough time to do what you needed to do. We read more didn't book any onshore tours, just did our own thing and loved it. If I could pick a downside, it would be the time it took to get off at some of the ports, mostly though this was the passengers and not the crew who delayed the process somewhat. The shows in the evening were exceptional. Hannah at Global Journeys handled our booking and was fabulous to deal with. Very quick to answer any queries and the process super smooth. Thank you for a fabulous time:)
Wonderful Experience 0 Idyllic Greece , TX, United States, Oct 2025
We had a very nice experience with our trip to Greece. The vessel was nice and clean, the staff was welcoming and charming. We enjoyed the restaurant with excellent service. The ship was the perfect size for us, not too many people. Every night there was a new theater event and it was a good one every night. Congrats to the staff and the artists.
Mediterranean Criuise 1 Mediterranean Icons (East To West) , NSW, Australia, Aug 2025
We booked a trip through Global Journeys that I found online. It was a 2 week cruise starting in Athens and cruising the Greek islands and Mediterranean. Itinerary was: Athens, Thessaloniki, Santorini, Mykanos, Milos, Kusadasi Turkey, Montenegro, Olympus and back to Athens. Basically the trip of a lifetime. The cruise was fabulous . The destinations read more weee fabulous. The price was exceptional (thats why I booked it). Hannah was our trip organiser. Everything was spot on and she did a brilliant job. Highly recommended! We would use Global Journeys again in a heartbeat.
