Celestyal has launched a new travel agent tool which will allow trade partners to book cruise and land packages for their clients

The new innovation, which is available vie Celestyal’s trade agent booking system, will give agents the ability to book pre- and post-cruise hotel stays and transfers. All hotels are four-star and above, with private transfers to and from the airport, hotel and port available.

The service is currently included on a number of sailings departing from Athens, which include the three and four-night ‘Iconic Aegean’, the seven-night ‘Idyllic Aegean’, the seven-night ‘Steps of Paul’ and the seven-night ‘Heavenly Adriatic’ itineraries, with plans in place to expand the offering to Celestyal’s Arabian Gulf itineraries.

Janet Parton, VP of business development at Celestyal, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce this new tool allowing our trade partners to offer even more comprehensive and personalised experiences for their clients.

“By allowing agents to seamlessly book cruise and land packages, including high-quality hotel stays and private transfers, we’re enhancing the overall value and convenience of the Celestyal experience.”

Earlier this year Celestyal announced it would be increasing its presence in the Arabian Gulf by 30 per cent as it looks to become the “go-to” cruise specialist for the area.

New ship Celestyal Discovery will sail a series of winter sun Arabian Gulf itineraries from 2025. It joins Celestyal Journey in the region, which will depart on the previously launched seven-night Desert Days cruise later this year.
