Celestyal offering cabin upgrades as part of special Middle East season deals

Celestyal Cruises is offering free cabin upgrades on 40 of its 2025/26 Desert Days cruises in the Arabian Gulf during its inaugural homeporting season in the region.

The special is being offered alongside a wider promotion that has seen 44 of Celestyal’s 2025 and 2026 Mediterranean cruises included. 

The initial offer of up to 50% off fares and €200 in free onboard consumption with CelestyalPay, to be used on select meals and beverages, is also in effect for both the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf.

Valentine’s Day promotions have been rolled out across three-, four- and seven-night Greek Islands cruises, the seven-night Dream Adriatic cruises, and the seven-night Desert Days itinerary, which now include a complimentary cabin upgrade and, as before, up to 50% off CelestyalOne fare and up to €200 in free consumption per cabin with CelestyalPay.

Launched earlier this year, CelestyalPay is a prepaid digital food and beverage wallet used onboard to purchase extra-fee food and beverages. Passengers can either charge their account as they travel or prepay CelestyalPay, prior to sailing, to receive bonus credit from the company.

Departing between June 2025 and March 2027, prices for a three-night cruise start at €339 per person, four-night cruises from €439 per person, while seven-night cruises start at €659 per person, including all meals, refreshments, WiFi, port fees, and gratuities.

The Dream Vacations offer will continue to apply across Celestyal’s entire cruise schedule, offering savings on all 2025 – 2027 cruises and up to 50% off more than 60 three- to seven-night cruises that visit the Greek Islands, the Adriatic, and the Arabian Gulf.

The Dream Vacations offer was originally set to expire on February 28^th, but will now run until March 16th, 2025.

“We’re here to share the love with our expanded and enhanced Dream Vacations offer,” said Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer, Celestyal. “Whether it’s a romantic getaway in the Mediterranean or a chance to reconnect with loved ones in the Adriatic, these cruises are unrivalled value and offer experiences that will immerse guests in the authentic local culture and warm hospitality that is synonymous with Celestyal cruising.”

The expanded deal comes as both ships in the Celestyal fleet are currently undergoing additional major upgrades to further enhance guest service. 

The 1,260-passenger Celestyal Journey returns to cruising in February after a scheduled refit in Dubai, while the 1,360-passenger Celestyal Discovery is currently being refitted in Athens to add 47 cabins, including new Junior Dream Suites and Grand Horizon Suites, in preparation for the 2025 Mediterranean season.
