Celestyal has launched its 2026 Wave Season offer, with a wide range of discounted departures from Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi during its Arabian Gulf programme between December 2025 and October 2027.

The promotion covers 226 sailings across the company’s network and includes savings of up to 50 percent on cruise fares, alongside onboard and shore excursion credits on select itineraries.

The Arabian Gulf features prominently in the Wave Season campaign, reflecting the region’s growing role within Celestyal’s deployment strategy.

The offer applies to 42 departures of the seven-night Desert Days itinerary, sailing roundtrip from either Dubai or Doha aboard Celestyal Journey, as well as 67 departures each of the three-night and four-night Iconic Arabia sailings, operating roundtrip from Abu Dhabi aboard Celestyal Discovery.

These shorter itineraries were introduced to cater to regional demand for flexible cruise options in the Gulf.

Wave Season fares across the programme start at US$359 per person for a three-night sailing, according to the company. In addition to reduced fares, 186 sailings include added incentives of up to US$582 in CelestyalPay credit, which can be used onboard for speciality dining and bar beverages, as well as shore excursion credit of up to US$232.50.

“This is one of our most generous Wave campaigns yet, designed to give travelers even more reasons to plan ahead,” said John Diorio, Vice President of Business Development for North America at Celestyal.

“As demand grows across Greece, the Mediterranean, and the Arabian Gulf, we wanted to add meaningful value, not just through price but through experiences,” he added. “From signature dining and curated cocktails to discovering unmissable moments ashore, these added credits give guests the freedom to shape their holiday exactly as they want it.”

Beyond the Arabian Gulf, the Wave Season offer also covers a broad selection of sailings in Greece and the wider Mediterranean. These include 45 departures of the three-night and four-night Iconic Greek Island cruise, sailing roundtrip from Athens aboard Celestyal Discovery, with fares starting from US$499 per person.

Longer itineraries are also included, with 16 departures each of the seven-night Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia cruise and the Idyllic Greece cruise, both sailing roundtrip from Athens aboard Celestyal Journey, with prices starting at US$939 per person.

Celestyal said that all fares included in the Wave Season promotion cover meals, soft drinks, Wi-Fi, port fees, and gratuities, maintaining the line’s bundled pricing structure across its itineraries.

The Wave Season runs through February 5th, 2026, subject to availability, and spans departures well into 2027, providing extended booking visibility for travellers planning cruises in both the Arabian Gulf and the Mediterranean over the next two years.

Celestyal’s continued focus on the Arabian Gulf within its Wave Season campaign follows the line’s recent expansion in the region, where it has positioned vessels on both longer and short-format itineraries designed to appeal to international and regional markets alike.
