The Celestyal team has achieved a significant milestone with the recent launch of Celestyal Sail & Stay, an innovative tool designed exclusively for North American travel advisors.

This enhanced platform empowers advisors to create seamless, commissionable itineraries that combine the cruise line's award-winning Greek Island and Mediterranean cruises with carefully curated hotel stays in Athens, complete with private transfers.

The new offering features 18 hotel options across six distinct Athens neighborhoods, predominantly four-star properties and above. Travel advisors can access easy downloadable guides that highlight each area's unique characteristics, enabling them to match accommodations to specific guest profiles and become regional experts.

What sets Celestyal Sail & Stay apart is its comprehensive approach to flexibility and value. Advisors can book hotel packages at the time of cruise reservation or add them later, providing maximum convenience for clients. Every bookable element—from hotels and transfers to cruises—rewards advisor partners with commission, creating additional revenue opportunities.

The program covers all Athens departures through the company's trade booking platform, with plans to expand coverage to Arabian Gulf home ports. Local insights are woven throughout the advisor guides, offering guests authentic experiences that extend the Celestyal journey beyond the ship.

This collaborative effort involved global teams and carefully selected hotel and transfer partners, reflecting Celestyal's commitment to creating valuable partnerships within the travel trade community. The positive reaction from advisors already building comprehensive land and sea packages demonstrates the program's immediate impact.

The launch represents Celestyal's ongoing dedication to providing travel advisors with more choice, enhanced value and innovative tools that help them grow their business while delivering unmissable experiences that guests will treasure for years to come.
