DECEMBER 2015
Celestyal Cruises will extend for
another two years the successful
homeporting program in Turkey which
commenced in 2015 with embarkation
from Istanbul, Izmir and Kusadasi. A
new ship, the Celestyal Nefeli (ex
Gemini) will replace the Celestyal
Odyssey, whose charter agreement will
be concluded at the end of October
according to its agreed-upon terms.
The name, “Nefeli,” comes from Greek
mythology – Nefeli was a goddess of
hospitality and a nymph of the clouds.
The Celestyal Nefeli will sail Celestyal’s
popular itineraries for the next two
years, with embarkation from Turkey.
The introduction of smaller ports is
part of the strategy to open new
destinations in Eastern Mediterranean
cruising. Since 2014, Celestyal has
added 15 new destinations which
include Milos, Ios, Kos, Samos, Symi,
Chios, Cesme and Syros. These gems
are only accessible to midsized vessels
that comprise Celestyal’s fleet.
The Celestyal Nefeli, which can
accommodate 1,074 cruisers, was
originally built in 1992 by Union Naval
de Levante SA in Valencia, Spain.
She will be delivered to Celestyal in
February and refurbished prior to the
commencement of the 2016 cruise
season.
Gemini is now on charter to Petrofac
as an accommodation ship and is
berthed at Scalloway Harbour in
the Shetland Islands. She sailed as
SuperStar Gemini for Star Cruises from
1995 to 2008.

Princess Cruises has announced that
its ship now under construction will
be named Majestic Princess. The new
ship will be based in China year-round
beginning in 2017 and become the
first vessel built specifically for Chinese
guests incorporating a unique blend of
international and Chinese features.
