Olympic to sell Celestyal itineraries with pre- and post-cruise options

These include three- and four-night sailings, as well as seven-night voyages on board Celestyal Journey, which was acquired earlier this year. 

‘Olympic Holidays are specialists in selling cruises to our key destinations of Greece and Cyprus, so we're looking forward to drawing on their expertise as part of our UK growth ambitions,’ remarked Janet Parton, VP - sales UK, Europe, & Australia, Celestyal. 

‘We pride ourselves on providing a wealth of eye-catching calls with every cruise, and Olympic Holidays is ideally placed to highlight these with their customers, as well as the multiple other benefits we offer both on and off our ships.’

The itineraries include return flights from London and transfers, plus breakfast with hotel stays. Among them is a five-night holiday, consisting of a pre- and post-cruise stay at the Dave Red Athens hotel, and a three-night voyage, calling Mykonos, Ephesus (Kusadasi, Turkey,) Patmos, Heraklion (Crete) and Santorini. It departs May 9 with prices from £1295pp.

The same offer is also available over six nights, the voyage spanning four nights with Rhodes added. It gets underway June 16, with prices starting from £1695pp.  

A nine-night holiday with a pre- and post-cruise stay at the Dave Red Athens hotel, combined with a four-night cruise, is another option. Departing June 14 and priced at £2049pp, the programme includes Thessaloniki, Ephesus, Heraklion, Santorini, Mykonos and Milos. 

Knowledge of the Greek market 

Michael Vinales, MD Olympic Holidays, referred to Celestyal as the ‘perfect partner’ for the company to enhance its product offering and support its growth in the cruise market. He said, ‘Together we share an unrivalled depth of knowledge and experience when it comes to promoting and selling Greece and her islands and expanding our cruise portfolio is a natural next step. 

‘These new itineraries and our partnership with Celestyal will offer our customers greater opportunities to explore Greece and her islands with all the added benefits of luxury and convenience that a cruise offers.’
