More passengers will be able to sail with Celestyal following a refit on one of the cruise brand’s ships.
The 1,360-capacity Celestyal Discovery has completed a refit, which includes 47 new cabins.
Among the new cabins are 30 junior dream suites and two grand horizon suites located above the bridge with 15.5m² balconies, increasing the ship’s premium capacity by more than 50 per cent.
Another 15 interior Cosmos Cabins have also been added, pushing capacity up by 7.4 per cent overall.
The new cabins were developed with design agency AMK, incorporating elements inspired by the regions the ship visits.
The ship is currently sailing its Mediterranean season and will head to the Arabian Gulf in December for its maiden deployment in the region.
Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “This winter’s refit programme on board Celestyal Discovery speaks volumes about our continued investment into our guest experience.
“We’ve not only added more balcony staterooms but enhanced our premium cabin options to meet growing demand for more space and comfort, while preserving the small-ship charm and personal service that we’re known for.
“These images showcase just how far we’ve come, and we’re incredibly proud to be taking Celestyal Discovery to the Arabian Gulf for the very first time this December.”
