Celestyal Cruises will provide complimentary travel insurance for all new, individual bookings made until November 30 for cruise travellers to the Greek Islands and the Eastern Mediterranean, between March-June 2021.
The insurance policy has been provided by Allianz Global Assistance and includes medical coverage/cost of hospitalisation, including expenses associated with Covid-19, transportation costs to the nearest hospital and travel costs to the next port of call if required, as well as travel expenses for returning home due to illness and reimbursement for any unused portion of a cruise. Guests can opt to upgrade their policy to include trip cancellation coverage, for an additional fee.
Celestyal?s first sailing of the 2021 season will be on March 6 on board its new flagship, Celestyal Experience, with the seven-night "Three Continents" itinerary calling in at Greece (Athens and Rhodes), Turkey (Kusadasi), Israel (Ashdod), Egypt (Port Said) and Cyprus (Limassol).
Celestyal Experience will again set sail on April 3, 2021, on the seven-night "Idyllic Aegean" cruise, visiting Athens, Rhodes, Crete (Agios Nikolaos), Santorini, Milos, Mykonos and Kusadasi (Ephesus). For a limited period, all-inclusive launch pricing starts at just ?519 per person for an Inside Stateroom and the new Sana Wellness Junior Suites at just ?1,379 per person. Celestyal has also reduced the deposit required to just ?159 per stateroom.
Due to popular demand, Celestyal Cruises has added extra departures to the special seven-night "Steps of Paul" itinerary which traces the footsteps of St. Paul, the Apostle, across the Mediterranean, with departures on October 16 and November 13, 2021. In addition, it has introduced an amended seven-night ?Eclectic Aegean? itinerary to maximise time ashore and to offer Thessaloniki as a new embarkation/disembarkation port.
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece which acts as the gateway to the land of Alexander the Grea, and offers a rich cultural and culinary heritage for the visitors, with an active night life. The seven-night "Eclectic Aegean" has departures between October 23 and November 6, 2021.
Leslie Peden, chief commercial officer, Celestyal Cruises said, ?We are extremely optimistic about the future of cruising and are truly excited to introduce our guests to our newest addition to the fleet, Celestyal Experience. We recognise that concerns surrounding the pandemic still exist and we want to help put our guests at ease when booking with us for voyages during the first half of next year. Thus we?re proud to be one of the first in cruising to offer complimentary COVID-19 cover travel insurance along with very attractive all-inclusive introductory pricing to help restore their confidence in booking that dream holiday that they likely had to put on hold this past year as a result of the pandemic.?
Celestyal Experience has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, and has a capacity for 1,800-guests in 789 staterooms, 166 of which feature balconies, sea terraces and bridge-view verandas. The ship is well-suited for visiting smaller ports, that remain off-limits for larger vessels.
Celestyal Experience features a range of experiences for guests of all ages, including four speciality restaurants, seven bars and lounges, two pools, two Jacuzzis, a beach club, sundeck, jogging track and state-of-the art two-deck panoramic Sana Wellness Spa, as well as nightly entertainment, a casino, library, meeting rooms, and onboard boutiques, alongside a speciality wine and cheese bar, specialising in Mediterranean wines and cheeses.
