Boutique cruise line Celestyal is celebrating its 10th anniversary with rewards and incentives for travel advisors, offering more than 1,000 experiences throughout 2024. The program, which launches on March 13 to coincide with the company's founding date, includes cash prizes, cruise packages and highly sought-after tickets to concerts and sporting events.
Travel advisors can participate in monthly "Celestyal Live" events hosted by the company's senior leadership team, where they'll receive company updates and have opportunities to win special prizes. Additional rewards will be distributed through booking incentives and completion of training modules on the company's new travel agent portal, "Celestyal Compass."
Brandon Townsley, Vice President and Managing Director, North America at Celestyal, said: ¡°After a ground-breaking 10 years we want to say a sincere thanks to advisors for all their support. We are known for delivering unmissable experiences at sea and ashore and to reflect that, we are offering 1,000 special giveaways and incentives to show our appreciation to our valued travel advisors, and launching the monthly ¡®Celestyal Live¡¯ sessions with our regional senior leaders across the year.?
"We have a history to be proud of, and an incredibly exciting future ahead of us. After record trade booking numbers last year, the total refresh of our fleet, a new brand identity, new website and trade portal and the launch of a new region and year-round operations, there has never been a better time to get onboard with us." 1

The cruise line's journey began on March 13, 2015, with its first four-night sailing aboard the Celestyal Olympia, carrying 1,600 guests on a roundtrip voyage from Athens to various Greek destinations. Today, Celestyal operates two new vessels, each accommodating up to 1,300 passengers, serving more than 100,000 travelers annually from over 130 nationalities.
Looking ahead, Celestyal's upcoming Greece and Mediterranean season begins in March, featuring voyages ranging from three to seven nights. The cruises, departing from Athens, will visit popular destinations such as Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini, Thessaloniki, and Kusadasi in Turkey, operated by both Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery ships.
The company is currently running a "Live Your Vacation Dream" promotion until February 28, 2025, offering up to 50% savings on itineraries through early 2027. Select sailings include an additional bonus credit of up to €100 (approximately US $103) per person, pre-loaded onto guests' CelestyalPay accounts. The cruise line has expanded its destination offerings to include not only the Greek Isles but also the Adriatic and Arabian Gulf regions.
Celestyal has positioned itself as a leader in authentic cultural immersion experiences, combining Greek heritage with high-end service. The company's commitment to genuine cultural experiences both onboard and ashore has helped establish its reputation in the cruise industry over the past decade.
As Celestyal celebrates this milestone anniversary, the rewards and incentives for travel advisors reflects both the company's appreciation for its partners and its optimistic outlook for continued growth in the cruise industry. The initiative demonstrates Celestyal's commitment to strengthening relationships with travel professionals while maintaining its focus on delivering unique, culturally rich experiences to passengers.
