CLIA and its member lines welcome the publication by EU Healthy Gateways of its Interim Guidance for Restarting Cruise Operations.

Celestyal Cruises is proud to announce a strategic partnership with The Hellenic Initiative (THI), a global non-profit organization, comprised of the Greek diaspora, that invests in the future of Greece through the direct philanthropy and revitalization of the country.

As the cruise industry gears up for its return, shipowners are looking to ready their vessels for the post-pandemic era.

Following close consultation between the relevant/responsible Government Authorities and the maritime private sector, we are pleased to announce that Cyprus has been chosen and awarded as a location (in the Limassol Moni anchorage) for the layup of currently 6 technically advanced cruise ships by one of the world’s leading cruise vessel operators, under the support of a local maritime provider.

Celestyal Cruises, the award-winning, number one choice for travellers to the Greek Islands and the Mediterranean, has taken the difficult decision to extend the suspension of its sailings until 30th of July 2020 due to the ongoing travel restrictions and temporary port closures within the region in which the cruise line operates.

The worldwide spreading of the coronavirus presently confronts economies and companies with unprecedented challenges. The global tourist traffic has ground to a halt. Due to the current entry requirements in our destinations, the tourist traffic is not expected to normalize until the end of Mai 2020.
