Celestyal has revealed additional investment into its fleet with the latest refit plans for the line’s newest ship, Celestyal Discovery. The designs include the introduction of 47 additional cabins, increasing the ship's total number of cabins by 7.4% to 680 cabins.
The new staterooms will include two ‘Grand Horizon Suites’ featuring expansive balconies and a unique position above the bridge. They will also showcase a new design language that will change with the seasonal homeports. There will also be the addition of 30 newly designed ‘Junior Dream Suites’, a new stateroom category on the ship, and 15 further spacious interior ‘Cosmos Cabins’.
Mirroring the offering on her fleet mate, Celestyal Discovery’s ‘Smoked Olive’ restaurant will now be available as dedicated dining space for all suite guests. The refit will also include an extra ‘pop up’ evening restaurant with a bookable private dining area, offering high-end specialty regional cuisine inspired by the destinations on the ship's itinerary.
In recognition of the uplift in premium cabins now available, the cruise line has also announced a significant enhancement to their fleet-wide premium stateroom offering.
Alongside priority check-in, it now includes a host of amenities such as the introduction of a ‘Sail Away’ party for all balcony and suite guests, plus a pillow menu, daily hosted cocktail hours and exclusive access to the private Ray’s Sundeck and Cabanas area, exclusive to ‘Grand Dream’ and ‘Grand Horizon Suite’ guests. On Celestyal Journey, Grand Suite guests also receive complimentary access to the Thermal Spa Suite complete with private jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and a private relaxation area. Guests in the ‘Stargazer Penthouse Suite’ will also enjoy an in-room ‘bottomless’ mini bar.
Anna Gregori, VP, brand, marketing, comms and customer experience at Celestyal, said: "Following Celestyal Discovery’s extensive refurbishment at the start of 2024, this latest refit reinforces our commitment to constantly evolving our guest experience and offering our guests out-of-this-world value. The addition of new premium staterooms, including our stunning ‘Grand Horizon Suites’ and a wealth of enhanced balcony and suite benefits, provide our guests with even more home comforts and choice as they explore the incredible destinations we visit.”
All additions will be completed on Celestyal Discovery from April 2025 and the new cabins on sale from December 10, 2024. The three-night ‘Iconic Aegean’ cruise departs Athens on November 21, 2025, calling at Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos and Santorini with prices starting from €309pp for an interior Cosmos cabin, €689pp for a Balcony Cabin, and €1009pp for a Grand Dream Suite, in the cruise line’s current promotional offers, valid to November 24, 2024.
Celestyal Discovery underwent a multi-million Euro refurbishment in Greece following her purchase in November 2023. The line invested in the public spaces onboard, along with a complete stateroom refresh and the additions of a new coffee bar, Café Nation, as well as the Pizza Oven eatery and the Discovery Lounge.
