Celestyal Cruises has released the shore excursion program for its new “Heavenly Adriatic” itinerary, with 35 tours available to book now.
Sailing on the 1,260-passenger Celestyal Journey, the seven-night itinerary launches on Mar. 2, 2024. Departing from Greece, it includes three new countries – Croatia, Montenegro and Italy – and six new maiden ports – Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Bari and Katakolo.
“At Celestyal we believe the destinations we sail to are what makes our cruises so special,” said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer, Celestyal. “We want our guests to be immersed in the culture, history and local experiences, bringing home magical memories from every port of call.”
