Celestyal is adding a sailing to its inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf, the company announced in a press release.

Citing overwhelming demand, the brand stated that the new voyage will increase availability by ten percent for the remainder of the season in the region.

Departing from Dubai on Mar. 3, 2025, the new “Desert Days” cruise will take place onboard the Celestyal Journey, which is currently undergoing a planned refit in Dubai.

According to Celestyal, the 1,260-guest vessel is receiving a new livery to match its fleet mate, the Celestyal Discovery.

The ship is also receiving enhanced public areas before welcoming guests back on Feb. 15, 2025, the company added.

The “Desert Days” itinerary departs from either Doha or Dubai and includes visits to Bahrain, Dubai (overnight), Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi.

“We’re thrilled by the response to our Arabian Gulf itineraries, which offer guests the perfect blend of iconic landmarks and hidden gems. From the impressive skyline of Doha to the dazzling sights of Dubai and the wildlife haven of Sir Bani Yas Island, there’s even more opportunity to experience the rich history, culture and natural beauty of the region,” said Celestyal’s Chief Commercial Officer Lee Haslett.

“This extended program reflects our continued commitment to the region and on delivering unmissable experiences both at shore and at sea, and with up to 50% off as part of our current campaign, there’s never been a better time to book,” he added.

According to Celestyal, fares for the new sailing start at $609 per person and include all meals, a shore excursion voucher, complimentary wines and beers with meals, all port fees and gratuities.

The remaining Arabian Gulf season and added sailing benefit from Celestyal’s current promotional offer, “Live Your Vacation Dream,” which includes up to 50 percent off the Celestyal Experience fare.
