Operating five mid-sized vessels and serving the Greek itineraries and Cuba, the liner was awarded based solely on the ratings of passenger reviews in 2016.

Kyriakos Anastassiadis, CEO, Celestyal Cruises, commented on the success, "Celestyal Cruises is focussed on providing an authentic, destination-centric experience in each port we visit.

[...] Having our cruise line receive these awards demonstrates how much our commitment to excellence and value is appreciated and recognised by our cruise guests."
