Celestyal has inked an agreement with the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority.
The multi-year partnership, agreed at Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, will promote Ras Al Khaimah as a key destination among Celestyal’s guests.
The agreement will offer immersive shore experiences in Ras Al Khaimah, beginning in December this year.
Following a successful inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf, where bookings exceeded targets by 35%, Celestyal will return to the region with two ships in December this year.
It will feature weekly calls to Ras Al Khaimah on Celestyal Discovery across the winter season, for the next three years.
The recently refurbished 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery will homeport in Abu Dhabi from December 12, 2025, sailing the three-, four- and seven-night ‘Iconic Arabia’ cruises.
The four-night itineraries will sail roundtrip from Abu Dhabi, calling at Doha, Ras Al Khaimah and Khasab in Oman.
The seven-night sailings add calls to Dubai and Sir Bani Yas Island to the itinerary.
Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “We’re proud to build strong partnerships in the region, and are thrilled to enhance our shore excursion programme with the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority.”
“Together, we’ll offer our guests even more immersive and culturally rich experiences.”
“Ras Al Khaimah is a truly unique destination, and we’re excited to showcase it to our guests – many of whom choose Celestyal specifically for our in-depth exploration.”
