Celestyal Cruises (formed in 2014[9]) is a succession to Louis Cruises and Louis Cruise Lines. The Cruise line was a subsidiary of Louis plc (founded in 1935 as the first travel agency in Cyprus) until November 2021 when Searchlight Capital Partners took a majority share within the Cruise Line.[10]
Celestyal Cruises has two cruise ships:[11] the MS Celestyal Discovery and the MS Celestyal Journey. The cruise line operates out of Athens, Greece[12] offering itineraries on a 3,4- and 7-night basis[13] around the Greek islands, Turkey, and the Eastern Mediterranean. It is reported that it carried 115,000 guests in 2019.[14] Celestyal Cruises operated for six years in Cuba until 2018[15][16] and historically chartered ships to Marella Cruises, previously Thomson Cruises.[17][18][19]
