Greek Islands cruise that must be done 0Steven and Janice, VIC, Australia, Apr 2024
Celestial cruise package around the Aegean sea was one of the best trips we have done. Perfectly executed from the booking to the last day disembarkment. On board entertainment was fantastic. Shore excursions were stress free and on time. Cabin was more than expected and the wait staff were very friendly and obliging. Fully recommend this journey.
Celestial Journey Greek Island cruise 0Elizabeth and Donald, WA, Australia, Sep 2023
We took a Greek island cruise on Celestial Journeys. Everything about the cruise was fabulous. The staff were so helpful, the food at all the restaurants was delicious and the wait staff so well trained. There were plenty of quiet places to sit and read a book, or many shore excursions to choose from. We cannot recommend this cruise more highly. Also, ...read more Global Journeys were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation in booking through them again. Thanks for a great holiday!
Beautiful Greek Islands! 1Kerrie and Gil, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
We did the Idyllic Aegean cruise with Celestyal Cruises in the last week of September. Getting on and off the ship was seamless, our cabin was dated but spacious, even had a bathtub! We were on deck six which was an issue as it was one of the walking decks so we had to keep the curtains closed once we turned on lights. I would recommend deck eight for ...read more future travellers.
Food in the a la carte restaurant was nice, our two waiters, which we saw most nights, were just lovely. Food in the buffet was repetitive and of a much lower standard. We did not try the restaurants where you pay so can’t comment on that.
Tours! The tour in Turkey of the house of the virgin Mary and Ephesus was fantastic, our tour guide was well versed in his history. The tour in Santorini not so much! We booked the sunset tour (on the advice of our tour manager daughter) so we could see the sun set over Santorini, alas Celestyal changed this to the morning tour which was quite early, hot and crowded and not much fun at all, we just wanted to get off the Island by lunchtime but had to wait well over an hour for the cable car, then another half hour for the tender to arrive! We did our own thing on the other islands but there was a lot of choice should one want to do a tour every day.
The drinks packages were overpriced, the one which allowed us to drink the nice cocktails came in at over $400 AUD for one week! We just bought a cocktail each day and saved ourselves quite a lot of money! Would I recommend this cruise? It allows one to visit the Greek islands on a smaller ship as opposed to the monstrous ones we saw off Santorini, so it was a good choice in the regard. Food could be improved but the staff were amazing and we had a thoroughly great trip!
