The monumental grid of medieval walls provides a picturesque setting as we pull into the port of Skala on the idyllic Greek island of Patmos. Locally known as the ‘island of the Apocalypse’, Patmos boasts a spiritual vibe thanks to the legends of St. John. Take time to explore the lush, forest-like hills that encircle the capital, Chora or join our local guide for an exciting adventure. The mood was upbeat in the queue to check in for the maiden voyage of Celestyal's latest ship — Celestyal Discovery.

Adding to the refreshed look and feel, new livery was revealed in the form of an updated Celestyal logo, signature Celestyal stars and a blue wave running along the hull. From the newly replaced carpets throughout to the freshly repainted beach-hut-esque cabin doors, the ship felt more than ready to welcome its first guests. You might not feel like you're boarding a brand-new ship when you first step onto Celestyal Discovery, but both inside and out the vast majority of the vessel feels smart, polished and freshly rejuvenated.

Onboard Celestyal Olympia, you can look forward to award-winning Greek hospitality from the ship’s fantastic crew, along with a superb entertainment and activity programme. The atmosphere is relaxed, with ample space for all guests in the ship’s public areas and lounges. While ashore, you will have numerous opportunities to explore, whether your following in the footsteps of ancient civilisations in Greece and Turkey or visiting marquee ports in Africa and the Middle East. Personal, cozy and convenient – at Celestyal, we care about your comfort and wellbeing. Each of our cosy staterooms are designed to cater for every guest.
Cabin Review
For relaxation, the swimming pool area on Deck 9 offers sun loungers, a massage cabana, and access to the nearby Helios Bar to help keep you refreshed. The ship’s spa is found on Deck 8 and provides a menu of reinvigorating treatments and services – perfect for a lazy day at sea. The ship’s lounges – Eclipse (Deck 7), Selene, Argo, and Muses (all Deck 5) – offer a great way to spend a quiet afternoon with a good book or catching up with new friends.
The vessel's resident DJ pumped out tunes while an impromptu dance routine by staff was greeted by whoops from the waiting line; a party of all-girl passengers followed suit. While the line's latest ship hadn't received an official launch party, this felt appropriately celebratory for the reveal of this newly revamped vessel. In addition to our wide selection of all-inclusive menu, guests also have the opportunity to upgrade your dining experience and sample our chef’s exclusive dishes for an additional fee. Coffee and afternoon tea is also served every day and an array of refreshing soft drinks are readily available.

The ship’s animation team receives many plaudits, and their passion for entertainment helps to add to the overall experience. Hotel amenities upgrades were also implemented, along with general maintenance works. Each of the new cabin verandas extends 1,4 m (4,5 ft) from the ship's bulkhead and has a length between 2,8-5,8 m (9-19 ft).

Amazing excursions carefully curated
With three eating outlets to choose from, cruisers might enjoy the sumptuous Greek and Mediterranean kitchen as well as 24-hour room service. The boat has 10 decks, of which 9 are passenger-accessible and 7 with cabins. Our excursions will take you from the depths of Athens to the gentle waters around Milos and everywhere in between.
Savour the flavours and honour the people who keep Greece the wholesome place it is to this day. The dynamic beach resort of Kusadasi welcomes you with its warm and friendly ambience. From here you will be whisked away for a guided tour round ancient Ephesus, one of the highlights of this iconic Aegean cruise.
Our cruises offer exceptional value for money compared to other Greek Isles cruises, with packages that make sure you get the best from your budget. Located on Deck 4, the Aegean is open for buffet-style breakfast and lunch, with the evening meals served at your table. Celestyal also caters excellently to children, with special menus provided to ensure everyone enjoys mealtimes to the fullest. Celestyal Cruises are renowned for the authentic Greek cuisine served on board, so you can look forward to enjoying a variety of regional favourites, including Greek lasagne, lobster and fresh fish.
As it was still officially winter season during our cruise, the Halara Cove pool deck was mostly empty, but the pool was still filled and looked like it would make a great spot to cool off in during warmer months. That said, some guests were still braving the large poolside hot tubs. Top-deck Rays also offers a secluded sun terrace with panoramic sea views. With a variety of ambient bars and lounges to choose from, you have the choice to enjoy the atmosphere the best suits your mood.
Several cabins accommodate up to four passengers, although there are no adjoining rooms. There are many ways to occupy yourself on a Celestyal Olympia cruise. The entertainment programme is excellent and features everything from dancing lessons to Greek language classes.
Sink into plush bedding, marvel at the breathtaking ocean views, and indulge in the serenity that surrounds you. Whether you choose a cozy interior cabin or a spacious suite, the Celestyal Discovery offers a range of accommodation to suit every preference, guaranteeing a restful and rejuvenating stay. At the heart of it all is our commitment to our exceptional award winning service. Our dedicated staff are passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for each and every guest, ensuring your wellbeing is our utmost priority.
Having cruised a dozen or so times with several lines, we decided on Celestyal for a short 4 night cruise out of Lavrion. The itinerary was the selling point along with the timing- my daughter's Spring Break kept us locked into a specific week. We knew it probably would be a step down from the Holland Americas of the world but figured the islands visited would make up the deficit.
