Celestyal Expands 2025–26 Arabian Gulf Season With New Repositioning Cruises and Exciting Debuts

Celestyal has unveiled an exciting expansion to its 2025–2026 winter schedule, adding four new repositioning cruises that will take guests on immersive journeys across the Arabian Gulf, with stops in new destinations and first-ever port visits.

The newly announced 14-night voyages introduce two brand-new countries for the line—Jordan and Saudi Arabia—while also marking maiden calls in Aqaba, Jeddah, Muscat, and Sharm El Sheikh, enriching the brand’s regional presence and appeal.

This announcement follows the successful return of the Celestyal Journey to Greece, concluding an extended debut season in the Arabian Gulf. The ship’s return underscores Celestyal’s growing commitment to the region.

In November 2025, both the Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery will set sail from Athens to Abu Dhabi, each offering a 14-night itinerary filled with cultural and coastal highlights. The routes include stops in Port Said, along with maiden visits to Sharm El Sheikh, Aqaba, Jeddah, Muscat, and a final stop in Dubai.

As part of its inaugural Gulf season, the Celestyal Discovery will arrive in Abu Dhabi for the first time on December 7, while the Celestyal Journey is scheduled to reach the port just in time for the thrilling Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6, 2025.

Both vessels will also operate return sailings titled “Amazing Abu Dhabi to Ancient Athens”, offering another opportunity to experience this enriched itinerary. The Celestyal Discovery departs Abu Dhabi on March 6, 2026, while the Celestyal Journey will follow on March 21, 2026, both heading back to Athens in time for the spring and summer Eastern Mediterranean cruise season.

Travelers can also choose from bookable cruise segments ranging from four to 13 nights, allowing greater flexibility. Fares start at $339 per person for a four-night cruise and $1,029 per person for a full 14-night journey. Prices include meals, soft drinks, Wi-Fi, port charges, and gratuities, making these sailings a strong value for cruisers seeking both adventure and comfort.

With these new additions, Celestyal continues to broaden its horizons, bringing fresh destinations and unforgettable experiences to guests eager to explore the heart of the Middle East and beyond.
