Ceyline commenced its travel agency business in 1996 to provide competitive and cost-effective marine crew travel for Ceyline personnel. The expertise gained in this specialised sector of air travel had made it an extremely reliable and highly-competent marine crew travel agency. The company built on this experience by offering travel services to corporate and leisure travel markets. 

Over the years, the company has expanded its services to cover corporate, leisure and pilgrimage travel markets. Today, Ceyline Travels is one of the leading travel agencies in Sri Lanka with the world’s best service standards accredited by IATA, Slaito, PATA, JATA and ASTA. 

During the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceyline Travels responded rapidly to the fast-changing situation in the country by taking numerous proactive steps, including liaising with the relevant authorities to ensure the smooth functioning of operations. The company-initiated discussions with the director general of Civil Aviation to obtain permission for Sri Lankan seafarers, who were overdue on vessels to be brought down to Sri Lanka. 

Additionally, the company was able to successfully repatriate over 150 Indian seafarers, who had completed contracts and signed off from ships in Sri Lanka.
