Celestyal reports strong Wave performance as Unmissable Sale is extended

 

Celestyal has reported strong early success from its current Wave campaign, the ‘Unmissable Sale’, driving revenue growth and increased demand across key global markets.

 

The offer includes savings of up to 50%, up to €500 speciality food and beverage credit and up to £180 shore excursion credit per cabin on select sailings.

 

The campaign has delivered an increase in global revenues, trading +51% compared with the same time last year and +23% against the cruise line’s initial ambitions.

 

The UK has been one of Celestyal’s strongest performing markets, with revenue up +82% year-on-year, driven by high demand for peak summer sailings and strong engagement from the trade.

 

As a result of current demand, Celestyal has added seven additional departures of its ‘Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia’ itinerary, alongside four extra sailings of the ‘Idyllic Aegean’ to the promotion, while extending the offer until February 19.

 

The number of sailings now included in the Unmissable Sale is almost 200.

 

Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “Wave is always a critical trading period for us, and this year’s performance clearly shows the appetite for sailings that offer genuine destination immersion and strong value. The response from both our travellers and travel trade partners has been exceptional, and extending the Unmissable Sale allows us to maintain momentum while supporting our agents through the remainder of Wave.”

 

The campaign runs alongside the agent incentive ‘Sell 3, Sail Free’, also applicable for new bookings until February 19. Agents who sell three of the cruise line’s three or four-night sailings will be eligible to secure a four-night Arabian Gulf cruise. Those who sell two seven-night itineraries as part of the three, can secure a seven-night Arabian Gulf voyage. To claim the free sailing*, agents need to email [email protected].
