Celestyal Cruises is a relatively new brand that we've begun to feature deals for on Brad's Deals. The focus of all our travel deals is value, and for those that are in the market for a Greek Isles cruise, there can definitely be good deals on the cruise line. There are also some major caveats to think about before booking.

Ships

The cruise line sails two ships throughout the Greek Islands- the Celestyal Crystal and Celestyal Olympia. These are both much older ships that what's sailing from larger cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian. But, for those that are looking for a more intimate experience, each ship holds less than 2,000 passengers, far fewer than other ships from competitors. Even though the ships may have been built a while ago, there have been major renovations to bring them up to modern luxury standards.

Value

The biggest draw that Celestyal Cruises has for Brad's Deals readers is value. Other deals we feature on the site may not include alcoholic drinks, gratuities, port taxes, or specialty dining. The price for Celestyal includes all of that. House spirits, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the cruise fare. Some shore excursions are also included. Finally, port taxes and gratuities are included in the up front cost at booking, which means no surprises on board.

Sailings

One thing I like about Celestyal is the variety of sailings they offer, with 3-, 4-, and 7-night sailings around the islands. This means you can take a shorter cruise as part of a larger European vacation, or make the cruise the whole trip!
