Celestyal has rebranded its travel advisor education and training platform as "Celestyal Stars," which has relaunched ahead of wave season. The platform, previously known as "Celestyal Campus," aims to better support the boutique cruise line's trade partners.
Celestyal Stars will include 16 training modules covering subjects such as brand identity, fleet information, destination knowledge and advice for advisors to increase their Celestyal business. The updated program features customized educational paths with training modules that unlock as advisors go through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum certifications.
As advisors complete sections, they will progress through Navigator levels (1 to 4 Stars) and earn certificates and digital badges that they can share on their own channels. Each level offers incentives like exclusive agent rates, discounts and giveaways to reward the engagement and achievements. The platform can be accessed via the trade portal Celestyal Compass.
"Celestyal Stars is designed to empower and inspire our valued travel partners," said John Diorio, vice president of business development, North America, at Celestyal. "By making learning more engaging and rewarding, we're giving advisors the tools and confidence to showcase the very best of Celestyal to their travelers."
Meanwhile, Celestyal has ended its most successful Mediterranean and Adriatic season to date with Mediterranean passenger counts increasing 4% and revenue up 10% since 2024. From April to November, the line operated 10 "Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia" voyages and 22 "Idyllic Greece" sailings on Celestyal Journey, along with 69 three- and four-night "Iconic Greek Islands" cruises on Celestyal Discovery.
"2025 has been another strong year for Celestyal so far," said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer. "We've seen record demand and yield across our Mediterranean program."
