The Queensland-based small ship cruise specialist represents 56 boutique, luxury and expedition cruise operators around the world.

40% discount

To mark the wholesaler alliance, Cruise Traveller is promoting a range of Celestyal’s Greek island voyages in 2022 with fares discounted by up to 40% for bookings made by November 30.

‘Celestyal Cruises very much fits the Cruise Traveller style of product, offering a strong destination focus on Greece and her famous islands,’ MD Craig Bowen said.

Less visited ports

‘As a Greek-owned company, Celestyal’s local business relationships provide access to many smaller and less visited ports not available to more mainstream cruise lines,’ Bowen said. 

‘Celestyal also offers an exceptional value proposition, with beverages, gratuities and selected shore excursions all included.’

Mary Williams, the Australian and New Zealand business development manager for Celestyal Cruises, said Cruise Traveller is an ideal fit for the company’s focus on immersive, all-inclusive experiences aboard smaller ships.

More Australians

‘The Greek islands are a well-known bucket-list destination for Australians but our value-addd immersive cruises through these magical islands may not be as familiar, so we’re very excited to embark on this partnership with Cruise Traveller so that we can welcome more Australians on board than ever,’ Williams said.

The 1,200-passenger Celestyal Crystal and the 1,575-passenger Celestyal Olympia are poised to resume voyages in March 2022.

Destinations include Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus and Israel.
