What's Happening?
Celestyal has introduced enhancements to its cruise and land package, 'Celestyal Sail & Stay,' aimed at travel advisors. This new functionality allows advisors to book cruise and land packages for their guests either at the time of booking or at a later date. The system includes options for pre- and post-cruise hotel stays at 18 Athens properties, with private transfers included. The hotels offered are predominantly four-star and above, with some three-star options available. The service is available for all sailings departing from Athens from August 2025 onwards, including various Greek island itineraries. Celestyal plans to expand this offering to its Arabian Gulf programs in the future.
Why It's Important?
The enhancement of Celestyal's cruise and land package provides travel advisors with more flexibility and options to offer their clients, potentially increasing their business opportunities. By allowing advisors to curate all-in-one packages, Celestyal aims to deliver exceptional value and peace of mind for guests, while also offering commissionable elements to benefit advisors financially. This development could strengthen Celestyal's position in the competitive travel industry by providing a seamless experience for travelers and supporting advisors with expert local knowledge.
What's Next?
Celestyal plans to expand the 'Celestyal Sail & Stay' offering to its Arabian Gulf programs, which could further enhance its market reach and appeal to a broader audience. Travel advisors may begin to leverage these new tools to grow their business with Celestyal, potentially leading to increased bookings and customer satisfaction. The company will likely continue to refine and expand its offerings based on feedback from advisors and guests.
