About Celestyal Journey
Celestyal Journey is a cruise ship completed in 1994 and initially sailed for Holland America Line as Ryndam. After nine years she was transferred within the Carnival group to P&O Cruises Australia and renamed Pacific Aria. Plans that she would sail for Cruise & Maritime Voyages as Ida Pfeiffer from 2021 were abandoned, and P&O sold her instead in 2020 to Seajets, who laid her up as Aegean Goddess. In 2023 she was resold to Celestyal Cruises and renamed Celestyal Journey. In December 2023, Celestyal Journey was chartered by the German-based cruise line, Phoenix Reisen. The ship was then used for the first section of the company's world voyage (ending at Cape Town), which was originally intended for MS Amera, one of Phoenix Reisen's other ships, which was held up at the shipyard.
