Celestyal vessels successfully transit Strait of Hormuz

Celestyal can confirm the successful and safe transit of both its vessels, Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, through the Strait of Hormuz, marking a significant operational milestone and demonstrating leadership across the cruise industry during a period of heightened regional sensitivity.

Safety remained the absolute priority throughout the operation, with outstanding leadership, expertise and calm command demonstrated by both ships’ captains, alongside onboard and shoreside teams. Their efforts in navigating complex and sensitive conditions were instrumental in ensuring the safety of all crew and the successful passage of both ships.

Celestyal also recognises the close collaboration with regional authorities and partners, whose support enabled a coordinated and responsible approach for the wider cruise industry.

Following their successful transit, both Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey are now repositioning to the Mediterranean, where they will commence the upcoming summer season as planned.

Celestyal can confirm that all future sailings currently on sale will operate as scheduled, providing guests and travel partners with confidence and continuity as the company transitions into its Mediterranean deployment.
