“Our new summer savings bonanza delivers unmissable cruise experiences across our expanded sailing program at truly unbeatable value,” said Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal

“By launching our new itineraries through March 2027, it has enabled us to offer early booking savings on our eye-catching new Arabian Gulf and Adriatic voyages and our much-loved Mediterranean cruises. There’s never been a better reason to either return to Celestyal or to try us out for the first time,” he added.

While Celestyal Cruises is homeporting Celestyal Journey in Dubai for the coming 2024/25 cruise season, next year it will be sending a second ship to the region, with Celestyal Discovery homeporting in Abu Dhabi.

Prices for the newly launched 3-night “Iconic Arabia” cruise, departing from Abu Dhabi in 2025 onboard the Celestyal Discovery, now start at $319per person (down from $640), while the 7-night “Desert Days” voyage, departing from Doha onboard Celestyal Journey, now starts at $609 per person (down from $1280).

Celestyal is also offering early booking savings on over 200 departures across 2025 and 2026 on their “Iconic Aegean”, “Idyllic Aegean” and new-to-2024 “Heavenly Adriatic” voyages. 

Passengers can save up to 50%, with additional discounts of over 60% on limited cabins. The offer also includes further reductions of 30% on third and fourth guests sharing a cabin.

Celestyal Journey will interport between Dubai and Abu Dhabi during the 2024/25 cruise season that runs from November to March, and for the 2025/26 cruise season, Celestyal Journey will homeport in Doha, while Celestyal Discovery will homeport in Abu Dhabi.

Both of vessels are new to the Celestyal brand, having formerly sailed with ADIA Cruises and Holland America Line. The ships will be sailing in the Arabian Gulf fresh from a major refit and refurbishment.
