Why Celestyal Is Now a Cruise Specialist for the Entire Med

The Insider Travel Report Podcast

Hi, I'm James Schillinglaw for Insider Travel Report and I'm here today once again with a familiar face, John DiOrio, who's the Vice President and Managing Director of Business Development for North America for Celestyal. And if you don't know Celestyal, you should. I've actually sailed on Celestyal four or five times in my life. Really enjoy it. It's a wonderful cruise line and now it's back full time in the Med.

As you might have heard, they did a few cruise seasons in the Middle East in the Gulf of Arabia and they were there right at the beginning of the war. And now all the ships are back in the Mediterranean and sailing fine. And because of that, they're changing their itineraries and what they're going to offer in the future. We thought we'd take this time to talk to John about what's going on with Celestyal and what your clients can go in.

And it's a great cruise for Greece or anywhere in the Med. And we're going to find out about all that and more on Insider Travel Report. John, first of all, great to see you. How are you doing? I am great, James. How have you been?

I'm doing OK. I'm missing. I haven't been in Celestyal for a while. So you and I got to get on that. We talked about that. I need to get you back soon. We're working. Yeah, I would love that. I really do enjoy the cruise line. It's a really good. You do a really great job with just two ships, but they're beautiful ships and they've really been restored and refurbished and they're great.
