Celestyal joins TravelBrands cruise portfolio

TravelBrands Encore Cruises has set sail with a new cruise partnership with Celestyal, further expanding its European cruise portfolio and providing Canadian travel agents with access to culturally immersive, destination-focused itineraries across the Mediterranean and beyond.

The addition of Celestyal strengthens TravelBrands’ cruise offering by introducing a differentiated product designed around deeper destination engagement, longer port stays, and itineraries that balance iconic European destinations with lesser-known ports.

As well, the partnership reflects TravelBrands’ continued focus on broadening cruise options that meet evolving traveller preferences while giving agents more choice when matching clients with the right cruise experience.

Celestyal is known for itineraries that prioritize time in port, including late departures and overnights, allowing travellers to experience destinations beyond standard shore excursions. Its smaller ship footprint also enables access to ports that larger vessels are unable to reach, supporting more unique routing and a more relaxed onboard experience.

And for travel agents, the addition of Celestyal provides a strong option for clients seeking European cruises that feel more immersive and less crowded, as well as for travellers looking for clear value through transparent pricing and flexible fare structures.

Celestyal’s approach is particularly well suited to repeat travellers, first-time cruisers seeking depth over scale, and clients interested in culturally rich itineraries that emphasize destination over onboard spectacle.

Celestyal cruises are now available for booking at www.travelbrandsaccess.com.
