Celestyal Crystal

Your cruise rate includes three complete and wholly delicious meals every day. Breakfast is American or Continental, with a Greek touch, and includes fresh-baked rolls, muffins and Danish pastries.

At lunch and dinner, choose from dozens of appetizers, salads and soups, and traditional American, Continental and Greek dishes, all prepared for your delight, followed by a variety of decadent cakes, rich ice creams and fresh fruits.

The chefs want to take you on a journey deep into the heart of Greek gastronomy, with healthy Mediterranean meals cooked to please even the most demanding palate, with friends at your table. They also serve a delicious selection of international dishes, including American and Continental fare, as well as hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, and sandwiches.

There's also great pizza for the little travelers, and for anyone who loves a crisp, handmade, oven-baked pizza, delivered to your cabin (room service charges apply).

Head over to The Almathia Restaurant on Deck 8 for some fine dining.

Afternoon tea is served every day on all Celestyal ships (with the exception of those ships departing from Limassol, Cyprus).

Visit the pool deck or any of the luxuriously appointed bars and lounges for a cold beer, a glass of wine, or a specialty cocktail or coffee. Try the Santorini whites, like assyrtiko, dry and fruity, and athiri, which is slightly aromatic, or the Peloponnesian wines, like white Moschofilero, with its aroma of roses and violets and spice, and Agiorghitiko, a dry aromatic red.

Enjoy a chilled glass of ouzo, the famous anise-flavored liqueur of Greece, or the bartenders’ spectacular Skinos cocktails, delicious one-of-a-kind concoctions with mastiha, a liqueur made from the mastic bushes of Chios. Bring a newspaper, or just relax and enjoy one of the live music performances. They're open all day until late into the evening. You’ll be a regular before you even finish your drink.

At the Helios bar you can enjoy a cup of coffee, while at the Horizons, Muses or Eros Lounge & Bar you can have your favorite cocktail. If you feel like something cozier, you can always relax at Thalassa bar for a night drink, while you indulge in some stargazing. At Celestyal Cruises, we do everything we can to make sure you can relax while you enjoy the delicious gastronomy that makes our cruises unforgettable!

There’s no shortage of entertainment on board!

Maybe you’ve tried a dish on board and you want to see how it’s made? Then we hold cooking demonstrations where our talented chefs show you how they prepare and cook some of your favorite food from the buffet or a la carte menu. There’s also ice carving demonstrations where you’ll be shown how intricate designs are meticulously sculpted by the crew for your viewing pleasure.

Traveling to a different country you may want to pick up a few words of the local language, so we have arranged Greek lessons on board to immerse you into the country’s culture. You’ll learn everything from greeting people, ordering in a bar and telling people about yourself so that you can master basic conversations with the locals when you arrive on dry land.

A great way to unwind is through learning a new craft, so on board our cruises we offer a variety of interactive arts and crafts sessions for you to unleash your creativity. You can get stuck into lots of different workshops, all of which are listed in your Daily Program, such as origami lessons or how to make rope bracelets. You’ll even be able to make your own postcards to send to friends and family back at home amongst many other arty endeavours.

Learn all the moves of traditional Greek dance with our fun and friendly dancing lessons. Grab a partner and your ouzo and come on down to try Sirtaki, Kalamatianos and Hasapiko.
