Celestyal Cruises launches summer promotion with deals on Arabian Gulf itineraries

Celestyal Cruises has launched special promotions for summer across 87 itineraries, including Arabian Gulf cruises for the upcoming 2025/26 Middle East season.

The cruise line is offering up to 60 percent savings on voyages departing between June 2025 and March 2027, including 32 sailings in the Arabian Gulf between December, 2025 and March, 2026 as part of its expanding regional programme.

“We are renowned for offering quality, destination-immersive cruises at unbeatable value,” said Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal. 

“With offers across our 2025-27 sailings, such as a short three-night cruise in the Arabian Gulf, or a more immersive 14-night voyage in Greece and the Mediterranean, there’s never been a better time to try a Celestyal cruise.”

The promotion applies to 19 departures of the 7-night Desert Days itinerary, sailing roundtrip from Dubai or Doha, and 13 sailings of the new Iconic Arabia itinerary, roundtrip from Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Fares for both itineraries start at US$689 per person.

These itineraries form part of Celestyal’s growing commitment to the Arabian Gulf, following a three-year homeporting agreement with Abu Dhabi and the addition of Ras Al Khaimah as a port of call. 

The line will operate a two-ship Arabian Gulf season for 2025/26, with Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery calling at destinations including Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Bahrain.

In the Mediterranean, the summer promotion includes savings on 3- and 4-night Iconic Greek Islands cruises roundtrip from Athens aboard Celestyal Discovery, with prices starting at US$389 per person.

All promotional sailings include a 25 percent bonus on CelestyalPay—Celestyal’s onboard spending credit for beverages and specialty dining—giving guests up to €250 (approximately US$283) in additional onboard credit. 

CelestyalPay remains fully commissionable for agents, with the cruise line also offering a free shore excursion on select sailings when guests pre-purchase credit.

These excursions include guided walking tours of Mykonos and Kotor on Idyllic Greece and Heavenly Greece, Italy and Croatia cruises in 2026, roundtrip from Athens aboard Celestyal Journey. Prices for these itineraries start at $789 per person.

All promotional fares include meals, soft drinks, WiFi, port fees and gratuities. Bookings must be made between June 1st and August 31st, 2025.
