Celestyal extends inaugural Arabian Gulf cruise season

Citing overwhelming demand, Celestyal is extending its Arabian Gulf cruise season with an additional ‘Desert Days’ sailing.

This new voyage – departing from Dubai on March 3, 2025 – will add 10% more availability to the remaining season.

The cruise, available to book now, will sail onboard Celestyal Journey, which is currently undergoing a planned refit in Dubai.

The 1260-guest ship is receiving a new livery, to match fleet mate Celestyal Discovery, and enhanced onboard spaces.

It returns to service on February 15, 2025.

The ‘Desert Days’ itinerary departs from either Doha or Dubai and includes visits to Bahrain, Dubai (overnight), Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi.

The remaining programme and additional sailing benefit from Celestyal’s current promotional offer, ‘Live Your Vacation Dream’, which includes up to 50% off the Celestyal Experience fare.

Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “We’re thrilled by the response. This extended programme reflects our continued commitment to the region.”

The new sailing starts from £469pp and include all meals, a shore excursion voucher, complimentary wines and beers with meals, all port fees and gratuities.
