More recently operating for P&O Australia, the 1,260-guest ship – renamed Celestyal Journey – will undergo a €20 million refurbishment and technical maintenance overhaul in Piraeus before entering service.

 
"While the global events of the past few years have placed our growth plans on pause, the positive industry outlook along with strong bookings for the coming season provides Celestyal with the opportunity to recommence the process of renewing our fleet with new vessels," said Chris Theophilides, Celestyal chief executive.

Details regarding the onboard experience and itineraries will be announced in due course, the line added.
