Celestyal has marked its first ever visits to Khasab (Oman), Sir Bani Yas Island (UAE) and Abu Dhabi (UAE) with plaque exchange ceremonies.
The maiden calls are part of the cruise line’s first ‘Desert Days’ voyage – a seven-night cruise onboard flagship, Celestyal Journey.
CEO Chris Theophilides said: “We’re honoured to celebrate these milestone calls to. Our ‘Desert Days’ itineraries have been expertly designed to showcase the wonders of the Arabian Gulf”
“With the addition of our second ship, Celestyal Discovery, homeporting in Abu Dhabi next year, we look forward to continuing to highlight the best the region has to offer.”
Celestyal’s Arabian Gulf programme sails until March 2025, and will then feature again for a further two winter-sun seasons.
Celestyal Discovery will join Celestyal Journey in the region at the end of 2025, sailing three-night long weekend ‘Iconic Arabia’ cruises round-trip from Abu Dhabi.
They call at Doha and Sir Bani Yas Island, and a four-night mid-week ‘Iconic Arabia’ cruise sailing roundtrip from Abu Dhabi, calls at Fujairah, Muscat and Khasab.
