Aroya Cruises has launched a mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing passengers to book cruises, manage reservations, and access onboard services.

Available in English and Arabic, the app provides access to the cruise line’s booking system, digital check-in, dining reservations, shore excursions, and onboard activities.

The launch follows the recent introduction of a redesigned Aroya Cruises website, forming part of the company’s efforts to expand its digital services and provide passengers with more options for managing their cruises.

“Our mobile app gives guests a dedicated way to engage with Aroya, making each step of their journey simpler, more personal and more connected,” said Ala Tashkandi, Executive Commercial Director, Aroya Cruises.

“It reflects the attention to detail that defines the Aroya experience and our commitment to shaping a cruise experience built around the preferences of today’s guests.”

The app allows passengers to search for available voyages, complete bookings, and manage existing reservations without having to access the company’s website separately.

Before departure, passengers can use the platform to complete digital check-in procedures and follow pre-cruise checklists designed to help them prepare for their sailing.

Post-cruise checklists are also included, extending the app’s functionality beyond the voyage itself.

Once onboard, passengers can access the ship’s daily programme, make dining and venue reservations, and review scheduled events and activities.

Spa and wellness bookings, shore excursions, and selected onboard offers can also be accessed through the platform.

The app additionally provides access to passengers’ onboard accounts, allowing them to review their guest folio during their cruise.

Aroya said selected onboard functions will remain available without passengers purchasing a paid Wi-Fi package, although the company has not specified which features will be accessible under these arrangements.

Further functionality is planned for future updates, including an onboard messaging service that will allow passengers to communicate through the app.

Wayfinding features are also under development, intended to help passengers navigate the ship and locate venues and facilities.

Another planned addition is digital cabin key functionality, which would allow passengers to use their mobile devices to access their accommodation.

Aroya has not announced when these additional features will become available.

The mobile platform is integrated with the cruise line’s existing booking system, customer relationship management software, and wider operational systems.

According to the company, this integration is intended to provide a more consistent experience across its digital services, including its website, mobile app, onboard kiosks, and digital signage.

The introduction of the app also provides Aroya with a dedicated mobile channel for communicating information about reservations, activities, and available services to passengers throughout their cruise.

The app is available to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play, with both language versions offered through the same platform.

Aroya said further capabilities will be introduced as development continues, although no timetable has been provided for the next phase of updates.
