The improved tool enables agents to book cruise and land packages for their guests both at time of booking or at a later date.
The new functionality, available via Celestyal’s trade booking system, gives advisors the ability to book pre- and post-cruise hotel stays at a selection of 18 Athens properties, with private transfers included.
All hotels offered are predominantly four-star and above, with some three-star options available, with private car or minivan transfers to and from the airport, hotel and port included.
Celestyal has also provided travel advisors with downloadable guides to the six Athens locations where the hotels are situated, ensuring they are equipped with expert local knowledge to support them when matching their guests to land accommodation.
Locations include Omonoia Square, close to the main attractions, Metaxourgio which is closer to the Metro station for those who like to explore, and Glyfada Riviera for those guests who like to swim in the sea while being close to the ports.
The service has been expanded to all sailings departing from Athens from August 2025 onwards, which include the three and four-night ‘Iconic Greek Islands’, the seven-night ‘Idyllic Greece’, and the seven-night ‘Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia’ itineraries.
Plans are in place to expand the offering to Celestyal’s Arabian Gulf programs in due course.
“We’ve launched this new solution specifically with our valued travel agent community in mind,” said Jarrod Zurvas, Director of Business Development Asia Pacific at Celestyal.
“With our new ‘Celestyal Sail & Stay’ offering, agents can now curate all-in-one cruise and land packages, combining Celestyal’s award-winning Greek island itineraries with hand-picked hotels, and private transfers, to create a seamless experience for their clients.
“All elements of our ‘Celestyal Sail and Stay’ packages are commissionable so advisors can reap the rewards alongside delivering exceptional value and peace of mind for their guests.”
