Celestyal has unveiled 190 shore excursions across its new winter Mediterranean sailings.
Celestyal Discovery’s winter 2026/27 and 2027/28 Western Mediterranean programme will offer 118 excursions, while 72 will be available for Celestyal Journey’s winter 2027/28 Eastern Mediterranean voyages.
The programme includes half-day, full-day and two-day options, alongside 27 new ‘Authentic Encounters’, which provide experiences with local people and attractions in smaller group sizes.
It also features a new ‘Community Connections’ offering, designed to take guests beyond traditional sightseeing by connecting them with local people, producers and communities.
Excursions include a tagine cooking class in Tangier, a private flamenco and tapas experience in Cádiz, Valencia’s Fallas festival workshops and a gastronomic tour of Palma’s Mercat de l’Olivar.
To mark the launch, the cruise line is offering a 15% discount on all excursions for Celestyal Discovery’s 2026 Western Mediterranean programme booked before 30 September.
Celestyal Marketing, PR and Customer Experience Janet Parton: “For us, an authentically Mediterranean experience has always been about much more than simply arriving in a destination and seeing its most famous sights. It’s about meeting the people who live there and understanding the traditions that have shaped it.
“Winter is such a rewarding time to explore the Mediterranean. There’s a more relaxed pace and guests have more space to experience destinations. Through our new shore excursions and ‘Community Connections’ offering, we can help them get closer to local life and traditions, while ensuring tourism delivers real, meaningful value to the people and businesses they meet along the way.”
