We chose this cruise for the itinerary, full in the knowledge that Crystal was due for retirement in a few months, and despite it having little in the way of modern conveniences and razzmatazz. We were definitely not disappointed, and enjoyed a fabulous 2 weeks. The crew were, in the main, fantastic. Despite only having limited performers, we were presented with a different show every night in ...

We had sailed on the Celestyal Crystal before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For our second trip we chose the Three Continents itinerary as a means to see places that we wanted to visit - in particular the Pyramids, Jerusalem and Ephesus. While the outing schedule was at times demanding it was most certainly worthwhile. The ship herself is beautiful, and her gleaming turquoise and ...

A Greece based cruise company that specializes on cruising the Eastern Mediterranean and Greece islands. Their ship is old, actually 42 years old, but still in good condition. It is small compared to all the other companies ships. If you look up the history of this ship, you might decide to go with another company. My advice is don’t, cause we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. This was a back to back ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I chose this cruise because it gave me the best value for money as a solo traveller, 1st time cruiser and avid fan of historical sites. It takes you to 3 continents, has some excursions included in the price, and has amazing shows every night, not to mention lovely, welcoming staff. What's not to like?? If you are looking for an amazing experience in complete comfort, with a stress free tour of ...

This was our first experience of sea cruising and it was an absolute pleasure. Everything aboard the Celestyal Crystal was well-organised and the ship had a lovely atmosphere. She was very attractively furnished in all the public areas that we saw and our cabin was beautiful. The various lounges and open air decks made for comfortable opportunities from which to view surrounding scenery. All the ...

We chose Celestryal for the 3rd time as we have had 2 great cruises in the past. We love the Crystal she is a small compact ship, (yes, ship, she doesn't look like a floating warehouse with windows!) , with a fantastic crew. We wanted to relax and enjoy ourselves and that's just what happened. The first week there were only 400 passengers on board, capacity is 1200, so we had a very quiet, well ...

This cruise visits all the most sought-after islands in 7 days. I could not believe how efficient they were. We left our hotel in central Athens at 12 noon and were on the ship by 12:45. We had booked a Junior Balcony suite and were upgraded to a full Balcony Suite. Large living area, separate bedroom and a very large balcony. 2 excursions were included, and we booked 4 others. The ship is not ...

Overview: We would like to thank Celestyal Cruises for giving us a 125% credit for our original March 2020 booking. They are a high integrity company. We are world-travelers but novice-cruisers so this review describes our experience but does not compare it to other cruises. In general, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend the ship and the itinerary to you. Those things that ...

Second cruise for me, so not a lot of experience. Went to visit the Greek islands with the Celestyal Crystal, start and end in Piraeus. We were 5 people in two cabins (junior suites with balcony), from 17 to 68 years old. All are happy with the experience: GOOD - Organization, everything was really smooth and professionally driven - Enterntainment, excellent. Special mention to the ...
