Celestyal Cruises
Celestyal Cruises (formerly Louis Cruises and Louis Cruise Lines) is a Cyprus-based cruise line and the only cruise company based in Greece year long. Ports of call include all over Greece but also Turkish ports and even a Caribbean itinerary with focus on Cuba and Jamaica overnights.
Due to their ships age and layouts, the company doesn’t have very large venues or show productions, meaning that the entertainment on board lacks of features but also gives room for creativity. One of the most surprising points mentioned by cruise critics is that Celestyal really tries to up its game by creating themed cruises and nights.
Also due for being a small company, sometimes hiring agencies tries to allocate new crew members willing to work there for low end salaries just to acquire ship experience and then be able to apply for other, larger companies, as most crew members only perform one of two contracts.
