Celestyal has revealed a raft of wave season savings and a new Celestyal Stars online training platform to help agents maximise their sales

Celestyal has opened its new wave season sale with some of its most competitive offers to date. The campaign runs from 10 December 2025 to 5 February 2026 and is designed to help agents drive early season bookings across Greece, the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf.

Clients can secure savings of up to 50 per cent on 226 itineraries departing between December 2025 and October 2027. These include short island-hopping cruises and longer multi-country voyages. Selected sailings also include generous on-board extras, like up to €500 in CelestyalPay credit per cabin to spend on speciality dining and beverages. Many departures also include up to £180 per cabin in shore excursion credit.

All fares include meals, soft drinks, WiFi, port fees and gratuities. This combination of price reductions and added value gives you a strong reason to book now. You can use these perks to enhance client experiences and grow your commissions.

Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “This is one of our most generous seasonal campaigns yet, designed to give travellers even more reasons to plan. As demand grows across Greece, the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf, we wanted to add meaningful value, not just through price, but through experiences.

“From signature dining and curated cocktails to discovering unmissable moments ashore, these added credits give guests the freedom to shape their holiday exactly as they want it.”

Savings apply across a broad range of departures. Agents can match clients to itineraries that suit their preferences. In the Arabian Gulf, for example, reductions include 42 departures of the seven-night Desert Days itinerary. These roundtrip sailings depart from either Dubai or Doha on Celestyal Journey.

There are also 67 departures of the new three- and four-night Iconic Arabia itinerary, sailing roundtrip from Abu Dhabi on Celestyal Discovery. These shorter sailings work well with land stays or flight-inclusive packages. In Greece and the Mediterranean, agents can promote 45 departures of the Iconic Greek Island cruise from Athens aboard Celestyal Discovery.

Alongside wave season sale, earlier this month Celestyal relaunched its trade training platform. Previously known as Celestyal Campus, Celestyal Stars is timed so agents can complete their training ahead of the wave period.

Celestyal Stars includes structured learning paths where modules unlock step by step as agents move through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum certifications. Each level awards between one- and four-Star Navigator status. Each tier also comes with a range of incentives. Training covers Celestyal’s brand, fleet knowledge and destination insights across Greece, the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf.

Agents will also have access to business development modules, including how to grow Celestyal sales and how to position the product for different clients. All training is available via their dedicated trade portal, Celestyal Compass.
