Celestyal adding more cabins to Celestyal Discovery
Celestyal plans to add more staterooms during the refit of the line’s newest ship, Celestyal Discovery.
The refit designs include the introduction of 47 additional cabins, increasing the ship’s overall capacity to 1,300, which is a 7.4% increase.
The new staterooms will include two ‘Grand Horizon Suites’ featuring expansive balconies and a unique position above the bridge.
Their design will vary across the season, influenced by Celestyal’s homeport destinations.
There will also be the addition of 30 newly designed ‘Junior Dream Suites’, a new stateroom category on the ship, plus 15 interior ‘Cosmos Cabins’.
Mirroring the offering of her fleet mate Celestyal Journey, the ‘Smoked Olive’ restaurant will now be available as a dedicated dining space for all suite guests.
The refit will also include an extra ‘pop up’ evening restaurant with a bookable private dining area, offering specialty regional cuisine inspired by the destinations on the ship’s itinerary.
The cruise line has also announced a significant enhancement to the fleet-wide premium stateroom offering.
Alongside priority check-in, it now includes a ‘Sail Away’ party forl balcony and suite guests, a pillow menu, daily hosted cocktail hours and access to the private Ray’s Sundeck and Cabanas area, exclusive to ‘Grand Dream’ and ‘Grand Horizon Suite’ guests.
On Celestyal Journey, ‘Grand Suite’ guests also receive complimentary access to the Thermal Spa Suite complete with private jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and relaxation area.
Guests in the ‘Stargazer Penthouse Suite’ will also enjoy an in-room ‘bottomless’ mini bar.
Anna Gregori, VP, brand, marketing, communications and customer experience at Celestyal, said: “The addition of new premium staterooms and a wealth of enhanced balcony and suite benefits, provide our guests with even more home comforts and choice.”
All additions will be completed on Celestyal Discovery by April 2025, with the new cabins on sale from December 10, 2024.
The three-night ‘Iconic Aegean’ cruise departs Athens on November 21, 2025, calling at Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos and Santorini.
Prices start from £269pp for an interior ‘Cosmos Cabin’, £599pp for a Balcony Cabin and £889pp for a ‘Grand Dream Suite’, in the cruise line’s current promotional offers, valid to November 24, 2024.
Celestyal Discovery underwent a multi-million Euro refurbishment in Athens following her purchase in November 2023.
The line invested in the social spaces along with a complete stateroom refresh and the additions of a new coffee bar, Café Nation, as well as the Pizza Oven eatery and the Discovery Lounge.
