Our 3rd cruise with Celestyal 0 Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia James and Dalia , 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.

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.
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.
We had the most wonderful trip to the Greek Islands last September. We thoroughly enjoyed our Celestyal Journey itinerary and cruise. The staff were so friendly and helpful and always remembered us and my dietary needs. We didn’t want it to end. All the staff we have dealt with at Global Journeys were very friendly and helpful too, the whole booking read more process was very well organised, so we are looking at possibly booking another cruise with them next year. Everything on the ship was of a very high standard. Food incredible and varied. To have a balcony suite was so special too. Bed comfy and plenty of room. Thanks to everyone for a memorable cruise & trip!
This is the second time I have travelled on a Celestyal ship. They never disappoint, All the staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. The food was lovely. At night entertainment in different places of the Ship accommodating all tastes. Our ship toured around the Greek Islands which is an amazing trip. I always go through Global Journeys with read more the very competent Georgie looking after us. Totally recommend this trip and Global Journeys
What a wonderful week we had on Celestyal Journey. The ship was just the right size staff to passenger ratio was amazing it felt like a big family. The crew all knew us and the service was the best I’ve ever experienced on a cruise ship having been on many different cruise lines. I wish that they had more ships and routes. I would use them every time. read more We made some great lifelong friends which made it extra special. We were all in agreement about Celestyal 10 out 10. The food was fantastic nothing was too much trouble especially since our friend has celiac disease and they made sure he had the best diet for him. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with both Celestyal and Global Journeys again.
Having cruised many times, our comments are based on our actual experiences on this cruise compared to others. Tracey selected a perfect cabin position relative to our everyday needs - near the private dining room, theatre and lifts. Boarding was somewhat basic in the harbour but we are reminded that we were in Greece. Notwithstanding, it was incident-free read more and quick including our luggage. The recommended mini-suite cabin was a wise move and very comfortable including the large bed. The cabin service was excellent as were the entire staff - nothing too much trouble. The varied food was excellent which included free drinks with all meals. The renovated older ship was most successful and attractive.
In summary, a great cruise all-up which we can recommend. The ports we visited were very busy so next time we would try and sail outside Greek tourist season. Santorini was crowded and queues both ends of the cableway were crazy. We queued for two to three hours in 38c heat and no overhead protection. We ended up walking down the 588 steps slippery with donkey c..p everywhere. We in concert with many tourists would not ride the poor overworked donkeys on principle. We did not find a single waste bin anywhere so consequently, there were plastic and glass bottles and plastic bags everywhere - disgraceful. Certainly not a village to be visited a second time. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful enjoyable cruise for us.

Travelled on the Celestyal Journey where we had a most enjoyable time. The crew, food and drinks, as well as the ships all round package regarding its décor and the activities offered were fantastic. The ports of call were all very interesting and easily within walking distance from "ship to town" or you had the choice of many shore excursions. Because read more there is a maximum of only 1200 passengers where tendering was needed to access the port it was done quickly and seamlessly. Our standout ports were Mykonos, Santorini and Milos. We found that by travelling late May we had the best of both worlds - perfect weather and less crowds!
Celestial cruise package around the Aegean sea was one of the best trips we have done. Perfectly executed from the booking to the last day disembarkment. On board entertainment was fantastic. Shore excursions were stress free and on time. Cabin was more than expected and the wait staff were very friendly and obliging. Fully recommend this journey.
Celestial Journey Greek Island cruise 1 Idyllic Greece Elizabeth and Donald, WA, Australia, Sep 2023
We took a Greek island cruise on Celestial Journeys. Everything about the cruise was fabulous. The staff were so helpful, the food at all the restaurants was delicious and the wait staff so well trained. There were plenty of quiet places to sit and read a book, or many shore excursions to choose from. We cannot recommend this cruise more highly. Also, read more Global Journeys were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation in booking through them again. Thanks for a great holiday!
