Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi's history is a tapestry woven with tales of resilience and transformation. Once a humble fishing village, it evolved into a vibrant cosmopolitan center fueled by the discovery of oil in the 20th century. The visionary leadership of the ruling Al Nahyan family spearheaded its metamorphosis into a modern metropolis, marked by iconic landmarks like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the futuristic skyline of Yas Island. Today, Abu Dhabi stands as a testament to the UAE's journey from desert sands to global prominence, blending tradition with innovation to create a dynamic and progressive cityscape.

Small cruise ship

Name of the ship was Celestyal Crystal. l have chosen this ship because it had the greatest itinerary. 12 hours Mykonos, 36 hours Santorini. I wasn't expecting any luxury but I was disappointed by the food.

This was a tour round the Eastern Mediterranean over Christmas and New Year. It’s a small friendly ship, with only a few dining and entertainment choices on board, but that was all I wanted. The crew were brilliant too. Maybe it won’t suit those who want a luxury holiday resort aboard. I was much more interested in the ports of call and excursions. Only slight downside was that some excursions weren’t running, not the ship’s fault but the time of year. But most did run, including the ones most important to me. Christmas Eve in Jerusalem, wow! They’re doing the same trip next Christmas, so anyone can check it out. I travel alone, and the solo price was very good. Cabin was comfortable and roomy.

Christmas and New Year cruise from Athens, calling at Rhodes, Limassol, Crete, Santorini, Cairo, Istanbul, Kusadasi for Ephesus, Izmir, Thessaloniki, and best of all Haifa… spending Christmas Eve visiting Jerusalem was the highlight for me. The ship is old but beautiful, a proper ship not a floating holiday camp. Those who prefer all the glitz probably wouldn’t like her, but if comfortable small ships appeal you’ll love her. The food was good, the crew were great, and the price was incredibly good value. A couple of excursions were cancelled due to insufficient take-up, but that wasn’t any of the main ones. Only two full sea days so no time to get bored. I really enjoyed this trip and would love to do it again.
