Celestyal to Go West With New Med Odyssey Sailings – Cruise Industry News

Celestyal has unveiled its first dedicated Western Mediterranean season, introducing a new 14-night voyage that combines Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

The deployment, aboard the 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery, marks a milestone for the company, with itineraries that include 14 maiden calls across the region.

Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, said: “For more than a decade, we’ve become known for delivering authentic and immersive experiences across the Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean. The time is now right for us to expand west and bring that same philosophy to a new collection of destinations.”

“Rather than simply visiting the headline ports, we’ve carefully designed these itineraries to showcase the true character of the Western Mediterranean,” said Haslett.

“Alongside the overnight stays in Barcelona and Lisbon, we’ve included hidden gems such as Sète and extended time ashore, allowing guests to connect even more with the destinations they visit,” added Haslett.

The company said in a press release that the “Mediterranean Odyssey: Spain, Portugal & Morocco” itinerary includes overnight stays in Barcelona (Tarragona) and Lisbon, extended time in select ports and visits to lesser-known destinations. Prices start at $1,239.

The itinerary can be split as a seven-night voyage sailing either Barcelona (Tarragona) to Lisbon or Lisbon to Barcelona (Tarragona). Prices start at $749.

The Western Mediterranean sailings will be complemented by two eight-night “Mediterranean Riviera” repositioning voyages between Athens and Barcelona (Tarragona), allowing guests to sail between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean. The return voyage will operate in reverse. Prices start at $809.

Guests can add the eight-night “Mediterranean Riviera” sailing to the “Mediterranean Odyssey” to create a 22-night voyage, or combine this with an existing four-night “Iconic Greek Islands” sailing for a 26-night special voyage.

All fares include meals, soft drinks, WiFi, port fees and gratuities.

For the 2026-27 winter season, the Celestyal Discovery will sail from her homeport in Athens to Barcelona on November 28, 2026. She will then operate two “Mediterranean Odyssey” voyages before her return repositioning departing January 2, 2027.

For the 2027-28 winter season, the first repositioning will depart Athens on November 19, 2027. The ship will then operate six “Mediterranean Odyssey” voyages before her return repositioning, departing Barcelona (Tarragona) on February 19, 2028.

Sailings for the winter 2026-27 and winter 2027-28 seasons will be available to book beginning July 1, 2026.

The company has also confirmed the extension of its current Eastern Mediterranean season following the cancellation of the Arabian Gulf season for winter 2026-27.

Plans for winter 2027-28 on the Celestyal Journey will be announced in due course.
