The CUPID0 experiment searches for double beta decay using cryogenic calorimeters with double (heat and light) read-out. The detector, consisting of 24 ZnSe crystals 95$\%$ enriched in $^{82}$Se and 2 natural ZnSe crystals, started data-taking in 2017 at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. We present the search for the neutrino-less double beta decay of $^{82}$Se into the 0$_1^+$, 2$_1^+$ and 2$_2^+$ excited states of $^{82}$Kr with an exposure of 5.74 kg$\cdot$yr (2.24$\times$10$^{25}$ emitters$\cdot$yr). We found no evidence of the decays and set the most stringent limits on the widths of these processes: $\Gamma$($^{82}$Se $\rightarrow ^{82}$Kr$_{0_1^+}$)$<$8.55$\times$10$^{-24}$ yr$^{-1}$, $\Gamma$($^{82}$Se $\rightarrow ^{82}$Kr$_{2_1^+}$)$<6.25 \times10^{-24}$ yr$^{-1}$, $\Gamma$($^{82}$Se $\rightarrow ^{82}$Kr$_{2_2^+}$)$<$8.25$\times$10$^{-24}$ yr$^{-1}$ (90$\%$ credible interval
