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.
Thank you Rachel at Global Journeys for helping us to book our dream holiday on Scenic Exlipse II when we found Scenic to be unhelpful. Grace took over from Rachel and was also very efficient with some details as well as obtaining a refund for our flight change from Emirates to Thai Airways. The boat is magnificent - brilliant stabilisers, great facilities, read more staff couldn’t be better and excellent and varied dining experiences. The included daily excursions and guide were of very high quality. We enjoyed the 21 day trip from Stockholm to Bergen visiting Estonia, Latvia, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. There were many highlights but we will never forget sailing through the Norwegian Fjords.
We enjoyed our 14 day cruise, Tracey handled our booking and organised a great cabin on the ship. All the staff work very hard on the cruise ship to ensure everyone is well cared for, food was beautiful and best of all we had fabulous weather at the end of May. Many thanks.
We enjoyed this cruise, weather was great and the itinerary was really good. There is plenty to do on the ship during the sea days and the ports visited were all good. There are several included restaurants which have a variety of cuisine options on the menus as well as the main buffet. There are a lot of bars which can be very busy at times. The nightly read more shows in the main theatre are excellent and there are a number of other entertainment options every night. Hannah was very helpful during the planning and booking process and we felt well prepared for the trip.
Fabulous time in the Greek Isles Iconic Greek IslandsVicki and Deborah, 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:)
We recently completed an amazing Mediterranean cruise, and it was truly one of the best holidays we have ever experienced. From the moment we boarded the ship until the final day, everything was exceptionally well organised and enjoyable.
There were plenty of things to do on board every day, including live entertainment, music shows, relaxing lounges, read more informative activities, and excellent dining options. The atmosphere on the ship was friendly and welcoming, making every day exciting and relaxing at the same time.
The customer service throughout the cruise was outstanding. The staff were always polite, professional, and eager to help. Every crew member we encountered made us feel valued and comfortable, which added greatly to the overall experience.
The onshore excursions were unforgettable. Each destination offered beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable cultural experiences. The excursions were very well organised, allowing us to enjoy the ports without stress or confusion. Visiting the stunning Mediterranean coastal cities and islands created memories that we will cherish forever.
The food onboard was also excellent, with a wide variety of cuisines and consistently high-quality meals. The ship itself was clean, comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard.
We would also like to especially thank Global Journeys for their excellent customer service and assistance throughout the booking process. A special mention goes to travel advisor Grace Enchelmaier, whose professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made our travel planning smooth and stress-free. Her support and advice were greatly appreciated and contributed significantly to the success of our holiday.

If you are on a cruise with Paris on your itinerary, you won’t actually be docking in Paris, instead, the coastal port of Le Havre is where the ship will most likely stay.
