With the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic putting travel on hold for many this year, including those frontline heroes protecting and caring for communities around the world, Celestyal Cruises, the leading Greek-owned cruise operator with cruises to the Greek Islands and the Eastern Mediterranean, is pleased to launch a special Black Friday campaign on select all-inclusive 2021 and 2022 cruises for bookings made from today until November 30. These cruises also include complimentary Covid-19 travel medical insurance coverage on selected dates. Children sail free, and the company is offering a reduced single supplement of just 15% for solo travelers.
For frontline and healthcare workers, Celestyal is offering a special "Hero Discount," which consists of up to 30 percent savings on current all-inclusive fares for bookings made from today until March 31, 2021, on three, four, seven, and 14-night cruises in 2021 or 2022. The special Hero Discount is available to frontline workers (firefighters, police officers, EMTs, etc.), healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, and pharmacists), as well as medical office staff and their immediate family members traveling together in the same cabin. Before boarding, they will be asked to provide their frontline and healthcare worker credentials. During this time of solidarity, travel enthusiasts can also choose to thank frontline and healthcare workers with a well-deserved gift: a future cruise vacation.
Among the cruises included in the “Black Friday” campaign is the three-night “Iconic Aegean,” which departs from Athens and calls at Mykonos, Patmos, Crete, and Santorini in Greece, and Kusadasi in Turkey. Also included is the seven-night “Idyllic Aegean” cruise, which also departs from Athens and calls at Rhodes, Agios Nikolaos, Santorini, Milos, and Mykonos in Greece, and Kusadasi in Turkey. In addition, the seven-night “Eclectic Aegean” itinerary is included, departing from Athens and calling at Istanbul and Canakkale in Turkey, and Thessaloniki, Volos, and Santorini in Greece. “Black Friday” also features Celestyal’s award-winning seven-night “Three Continents” itinerary, departing from Athens and calling at Port Said, Egypt; Ashdod, Israel; Limassol, Cyprus; Rhodes, Greece; and Kusadasi, Turkey. Travelers can follow in the footsteps of St. Paul the Apostle on the seven-night "In the Footsteps of St. Paul" itinerary, departing from Athens and calling at Thessaloniki, Patmos, and Kavala in Greece, and Istanbul and Kusadasi in Turkey. All cruises include Celestyal's All Inclusive package, with unlimited classic drinks, locally inspired cuisine onboard, entertainment, select shore excursions, port and service charges, and gratuities.
“We are truly grateful and impressed by the incredible heroes who continue to work tirelessly to care for us all during this unprecedented time. We believe it’s important to recognize their efforts and, through our Black Friday campaign, give everyone something to look forward to in 2021 and beyond,” said Leslie Peden, Chief Commercial Officer. “We also believe the holidays are the perfect time to gift a cruise to family and friends, or perhaps even a dedicated healthcare worker or frontline professional who provided support to those in need during these challenging times.”.
