Celestyal Cruises Safely Navigates Two Ships Through Strait of Hormuz

Celestyal Cruises has safely guided two of its ships, Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, through the Strait of Hormuz. The vessels are now repositioning to the Mediterranean ahead of the summer season. The company confirmed that all future sailings will proceed as planned, ensuring stability for passengers and travel partners alike. The operation began with Celestyal Discovery, under the command of Captain Nikolaos Vasileiou. It became the first cruise vessel to leave the Arabian Gulf, carefully navigating the Strait of Hormuz. The ship’s successful passage set a secure route for others to follow.

Shortly after, *Celestyal Journey*, led by Captain Angelos Vasilakos, completed the same transit as part of a larger convoy of cruise ships. Both captains demonstrated strong leadership, with safety remaining the top priority throughout the voyage. The journey required close coordination with regional authorities and security stakeholders. Celestyal emphasised the importance of this collaboration, which allowed for a well-organised and secure approach. Detailed planning ensured precision at every stage of the operation.

With both ships now heading to the Mediterranean, Celestyal has reassured guests and partners that all scheduled sailings will continue without disruption. The company’s focus on safety and teamwork with regional bodies has resulted in a smooth transition for the upcoming summer season.
