During these times when travel has come to a standstill, there is nowhere to turn to but look forward for the adventures that awaits us at the end of this tunnel. Just like how a cruise experience like no other awaits you onboard Celestyal Cruises.
Just close your eyes and let us walk through what is waiting for you onboard their biggest ship in their fleet, Celestyal Olympia. But don't worry about sharing space onboard with thousands of other people as Celestyal Olympia is actually a mid-sized vessel, acommodating just over a 1,000 people. Its size allows it to venture to destinations that bigger cruise ships cannot reach. Onboard you will find an authentic Italian vibe, an array of social spaces and non-stop onboard entertainment.
Your Home Away From Home
There are 724 staterooms onboard Celestyal Olympia, with a total of 418 outside staterooms and 306 inside staterooms. No matter whether you choose an interior or exterior stateroom, your room will come equipped with a private bathroom, a telephone, a hairdryer, a TV, a safety deposit box, air conditioning, wardrobes, bedside tables and a vanity table with a stool and mirror. All of the cabins are a generous size, and nine of the suites have a private balcony.
Tip: Book well in advance to avoid disappointment for the balcony suites as those sell out very fast.
There are two accessible staterooms on the ship, both of which are outside cabins with handrail systems and plenty of space to maneuver a wheelchair. Should you require further assistance to make your trip all the more memorable, don't hesitate to let your travel agent know so that the dedicated housekeeping staff and stateroom stewards of Celestyal Cruises can make it happen. In addition to keeping your room clean, making the beds and changing the towels, their cabin staff are also known for leaving wonderful surprises for you to find in your stateroom, such as candy and cute towel animals. Isn't that a nice touch?!
