Celestyal has launched a new cocktail menu inspired by the “1001 Nights” tales to mark its inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf, according to a press release.
The menu, available in the evenings on the Celestyal Journey, offers 13 unique cocktails and mocktails with Middle Eastern flavors.
The new beverages will be available from €16 (approximately $21US), and include:
- Arabian Jewel: A gin-based cocktail infused with rosewater and cardamom.
- Desert Mirage: A mix of White Oak Rum, passion fruit, lime and mint.
- The Storyteller: A non-alcoholic beverage blending fruity notes like orange, blackberry and lime with Seedlip.
Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “We pride ourselves on our regional specialties, bringing a hint of the destinations we visit to our guests onboard at every touchpoint, and this new collection of signature beverages is a perfect reflection of that ethos. Whether it’s savoring a smooth mocktail in Doha, perhaps a classic cocktail in iconic Dubai or discovering a new favorite tipple while docked at the hidden gem of Sir Bani Yas Island, guests can enjoy exciting and authentic flavors across their Arabian Gulf sailing.”
The Celestyal Journey will launch its inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf in November, offering new week-long itineraries from Doha with stops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Oman, with prices starting at $509 per person. Beginning in December 2025, the Celestyal Discovery will join with new three- and four-night “Iconic Arabia” sailings from Abu Dhabi, with prices starting from $319 per person. Both ships will feature the newly introduced Middle Eastern-inspired cocktail menu, available on the Celestyal Journey and later in the Casino Bar on the Celestyal Discovery.
