Celestyal launches promotion for 100 cruises across Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf

Celestyal has introduced a seasonal sales campaign offering reduced fares across a wide selection of voyages scheduled over the next two years, including in the Arabian Gulf.

The promotion, which runs from February 20th to March 31st, 2026, applies to 100 departures spanning the Mediterranean, the Greek Isles, and the Arabian Gulf.

The eligible sailings are scheduled to operate between February 2026 and November 2027, covering the majority of the company’s near-term deployment programme.

The offer covers 63 itineraries in the Mediterranean region and 37 in the Arabian Gulf.

The line is providing discounts of up to 50 per cent on selected cruises, along with onboard credit of up to €200 in CelestyalPay, which can be used for specialty dining, drinks, and other onboard purchases.

On certain departures, a third and fourth guest may travel without a cruise fare when sharing a cabin with two full-paying passengers.

“Our ‘Big Savings for a Big Summer’ campaign brings together what Celestyal does best – premium casual cruising with destination immersion and standout value,” said John Diorio, Managing Director and Vice President of Business Development for North America, Celestyal.

“Guests can explore both iconic and rising star destinations across the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf, with immersive itineraries, longer stays and meaningful experiences ashore, wrapped into one simple, value-packed fare,” he added.

Mediterranean departures include roundtrip sailings from Athens, ranging from three- and four-night Iconic Greek Islands cruises to week-long voyages such as Idyllic Greece and Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia.

Longer 14-night Mediterranean Icons itineraries are also included in the campaign. The company has also included recently introduced repositioning sailings between Athens and Jeddah.

In the Middle East, seven-night Desert Days voyages departing from Dubai or Doha are part of the promotion and feature an overnight stay in Dubai. Shorter three-, four-, and seven-night Iconic Arabia itineraries roundtrip from Abu Dhabi are also included.

The campaign spans both of the line’s primary operating regions and is intended to stimulate forward bookings across multiple seasons while filling capacity on a variety of cruise lengths.

By applying the offer to departures over nearly two years, the company is targeting travellers planning both short regional holidays and longer itineraries.
