Celestyal Acquires Former Holland America Line Ship

Share this:

Celestyal has announced the acquisition of a new vessel.

The 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey will undergo an extensive €20 million refurbishment and technical maintenance overhaul before entering service.

The ship was originally built for Holland America Line; it was recently operating for P&O Australia.

Chris Theophilides, CEO of Celestyal said: “While the global events of the past few years have placed our growth plans on pause, the positive industry outlook along with strong bookings for the coming season provides Celestyal with the opportunity to recommence the process of renewing our fleet with new vessels.

“In addition to her expansive open decks, numerous bar and dining options and spacious public areas and staterooms, the Celestyal Journey provides our guests with a significant increase in premium and balcony staterooms, which continue to be in high demand on all of our voyages. We look forward to welcoming her to the Celestyal fleet!’’

The Celestyal Journey will undergo its capital expenditure programme in the wider Piraeus ship repair zone area.

Details regarding the onboard experience and itineraries will be announced in due course.
