Celestyal Cruises has announced that its new cruise ship Celestyal Experience will be sailing itineraries to three continents from March, 2021, including calls in Turkey and Egypt.
The ship, formerly Costa Cruises’ vessel Costa neoRomantica, was acquired by the cruise line earlier this month after Costa’s parent company Carnival Corporation announced that it was selling 18 ships as part of a cost-cutting measure amid the coronavirus pandemic.
