Athens (Piraeus) to Greece Cruise Reviews

This is our second cruise with Celestyal, and will not be our last. The staff from the Celestyal Crystal had transferred to the Celestyal Journey, and we were delighted to be remembered by many of them, which increased our cruise enjoyment. Originally a three week cruise to start with the Three Continents, which was changed to a new itinerary, due to the conflict in Gaza. For the first week, ...

We have Just got off our Celestyal Journey 7 night Idyllic Aegean cruise in Athens and have been blown away by how much we have enjoyed ourselves… we cannot wait to cruise with Celestyal again! We originally booked their 3 continents cruise because it ticked Egypt and the Pyramids off our bucket list. Having previously cruised with some of the big cruise lines (RCCL, NCL, Princess, Disney, ...

This was our first cruise, an 11 night Eastern Mediterranean itinerary, & we booked it for a great price without knowing too much about the industry at first. Reading other reviews of the Epic on this site we were slightly worried, but we needn't have been - the ship is fantastic, & we couldn't have asked for better. Looking at the detail of others' criticisms it seems many of the issues being ...

Flew to Athens, Greece. Spent 3 nights sight seeing. Boarded the ship. Embarkment was easy and quick. Had a great lunch in the Windjammer buffet. Food choices were plentiful and delicious. Cabins were ready at 1pm. Luggage arrived between 2-4pm. We were in an outside cabin with a large window. Cabin was very comfortable and steward ( Henrik) was friendly and efficient. Main dining room ...

A group of six of us traveled to Athens for a 7 day cruise to Israel, Cyprus, Turkey other ports in Greece, and found the Norwegian Jade to be in terrific shape. It clearly showed that great care had been taken in retrofitting in 2022, and it was a nice change from other ships we have been on in years past. Four passengers in our group stayed in one of the penthouse suites, and I cannot ...

We chose Celestyal Cruise Line mainly for its itinerary. This cruise line had the best options for Greek Islands as well as spent the most amount of time at the ports we wanted most (Santorini and Mykonos). We were in an SG suite and the room was much nicer than I anticipated, with ample room for my family of three. Boarding for this cruise line was unlike any I have ever been on. Our ...

I chose this cruise because I have heard great things about it in the past and wanted to give it a try. I was blown away and I will never be able to sail a normal cruise ship again! The rooms are huge, the staff is on top of their game and super friendly. The ship design and finishings are top-notch. I enjoyed the entertainment on board, from Broadway including Rent to the Elton John tribute ...

This has been my first trip and I am a solo traveller. I was a bit sceptical after reading all the reviews but this cruise and the staff exceed my expectations. I stayed in the cruise four nights and I couldn't have packed more things or visited more places in such little time. Every day plenty of activities to keep you occupied and fit in the boat. From Greek lessons to south American ...

Almost everything is perfect is this cruise if you travel in a suite cabin. The outstanding service level, the logistics, the shore excursions organization, the exclusive access to high quality specialty restaurants, the Philippine band was amazing and the cruise stops were really well together. All the staff on on board was genuinely nice, careful and always available to help. The only 3 ...

This cruise/ship was recommended to us by a Travel agent as we were seeking an alternative to the mega ships. Although an older ship built in 1999, it was totally refurbished in 2021 when Azamara bought the boat. Admittedly we had a suite and our room was awesome. Staff was attentive, smiling, and helped make the cruise what it was. Captain Smith was engaging and had a great sense of ...
