Celestyal Discovery Returns to Service after Major Refit

Celestyal Discovery has returned to service for Celestyal after a major refit that added 47 new staterooms (and two new cabin categories) to the ship.

The 47 additional cabins include 32 suites and 15 interior “Cosmos Cabins.” The 32 suites included two new categories: 30 “Junior Dream” suites, which are approximately 269 square feet in size and feature balconies over 60 square feet and two “Grand Horizon” suites, which are located above the bridge, are 452 square feet, and include separate living areas and balconies that are nearly 164 square feet.

In total, the refit increased the ship’s capacity by 7.4% overall but increased its premium capacity by 52%.

Also added is the complimentary Smked Olive restaurant, which is already available on Celestyal Journey. Grill Seekers, a pop-up evening venue with a bookable private dining area focusing on regional cuisine inspired by the ship’s itinerary, will be available later this season.

“This latest refit reinforces our commitment to constantly evolving our guest experience and offering out-of-this-world value,” said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal. “Our stunning upgrades, including two new cabin categories, provide guests with even more home comforts and choice in line with demand for more premium and spacious staterooms.”

The 1,360-guest ship returned to service with a three-night “Iconic Greek Islands” cruise that departed from Athens on March 21. The itinerary included a stop at Santorini on March 23, the first visit to the island following the removal of restrictions that had been put in place by the local Greek authorities.
