Celestyal launches 2-for-1 sale on range of Abu Dhabi cruise departures through 2027

Celestyal Cruises has launched a two-for-one sale on 88 itineraries in the Arabian Gulf and Mediterranean in celebration of its tenth anniversary, running until May 31st, 2025 and applicable on cruises departing through March, 2027. 

The sale includes 29 voyages in the Arabian Gulf, including Celestyal Journey’s current roundtrip itineraries out of Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming 2025/26 season cruises from both Abu Dhabi and Dubai aboard Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery.

The current season’s roundtrip cruises from Abu Dhabi include port calls in Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Doha, Khasab and maiden visits to Ras al Khaimah, the UAE’s up-and-coming niche cruise destination.

The itineraries can be booked as a three-night weekend cruise, a four-night itinerary during the week, or a combined 7-night butterfly itinerary.

Prices start at US$718 for two people and include meals, soft drinks and wi-fi. The full seven-night cruises are US$1,478 for two, around $100 per night, per person. 

The cruise line is also offering week-long cruises to Greece, Italy and Croatia that start at $1,538 for two, also including meals, WiFi, soft drinks, and gratuities.

On 59 of the week-long cruises, Celestyal is offering either kids sail free or 2-for-1 shore excursions. The deal comes amid rampant demand in the Arabian Gulf, with the cruise line having already extended its season in Abu Dhabi twice.

“While we maintain the fresh mentality of a challenger brand, we are incredibly proud of Celestyal’s heritage, built over 10 years on a foundation of warm hospitality and expertly curated itineraries that combine iconic destinations with hidden gems,” said Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal. “To mark this milestone, we wanted to bring a host of unmissable offers to the market.”

“Whether it’s a family getaway in the Arabian Gulf or a chance to reconnect with friends and loved ones in the Adriatic, this promotion makes cruising more accessible to both returning and new-to-cruise guests,” he said. “We pride ourselves on offering exceptional value and inclusive cruise deals, and our anniversary celebrations reflect this with a range of outstanding offers.”

Celestyal Cruises offers year-round cruises on two ships that sail in the Mediterranean (March to November) and the Arabian Gulf (December to March). While the cruise line is sailing its inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf this year, it will expand its 2025/26 season two both vessels, with each homeporting in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
