Unveiling of New Logo & Ship Livery
“Celestyal” means “of the stars,” “heavenly” and “divine” – it defines the authentic Greek experience that the company provides. “Celestyal” honors the Ancient Greeks, one of the first civilizations to use celestial navigation, as does the brand’s newly unveiled logo, which combines two iconic, eternal Greek images: the spiral, taken from seashells, and the windmills of the Aegean.
The Celestyal Cruises logo evokes the sea, the sun and the wind. It reaffirms our commitment to our Hellenic roots, and to supporting the economy and preserving the environment of each destination we visit. The spiral also symbolizes continued growth as a company. As they build the Celestyal Cruises brand, it will continue, as Louis Cruises, to operate in the chartering and ship management segments of the cruise industry.
Release of 2015 Brochures and Itineraries
In addition to the iconic and idyllic destinations offered historically by the company throughout Greece, the Greek Islands and Turkey, Celestyal Cruises will feature 12 new Ionian, Adriatic and Dalmatian Coast ports of call to its 2015 itineraries, including Bari, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Igoumenitsa, Kalamata, Katakolon,Kefalonia, Kotor and Saranda, Albania. In honor of the new brand, the Crystal and the Olympia, have been rechristened the Celestyal Crystal and the Celestyal Olympia. Showcasing the 2015 Celestyal Cruises itineraries, sailing dates and vessel deck plans, the line is pleased to announce the release of a 12-page, full color brochure that can be used as a useful at-a-glance resource for agents and travelers to plan their next Celestyal Cruises vacation.
Additionally, the company has artfully designed a comprehensive, full-color brochure that celebrates all of the line’s exciting destinations and offerings as well as the quintessentially distinctive features that makes a Celestyal Cruises vacation, “The Real Greek Experience.” Celestyal Cruises is proud of its Hellenic identity. The Eastern Mediterranean is its home, and it is the only cruise line that gives its passengers an authentic Greek cruise experience. The line’s smaller, cozy vessels give them access to a number of harbors inaccessible to larger ships, which means they can take passengers to many of the region’s smaller islands, the little jewels of the Aegean. A Celestyal Cruise engages all five senses. They give travelers the unique opportunity to visit legendary archeological sites, to enjoy music by authentic Greek musicians and singers, to taste delicious, homemade Greek cuisine, and to sample outstanding Greek wines and spirits. Celestyal Cruises invites guests to inhale the aromas of Greece and Turkey, to travel into the past, to join them onstage for traditional Greek dances…to live “Kalimera” with them.
