Celestyal Cruises has announced the addition of an extra sailing to its inaugural Arabian Gulf season due to the high demand for its itineraries.

An additional "Desert Days" sailing will be offered aboard the Celestyal Journey, which departs from Dubai on March 3rd. The itinerary will include stops in Bahrain, Dubai (with an overnight stay), Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi.

The 1260-passenger Celestyal Journey, currently undergoing drydock renovations in Dubai, is set to return to the fleet on February 15th with enhanced onboard spaces.

Bookings for the new sailing are now open, and travelers can take advantage of discounts of up to 50% off during the ongoing "Live Your Vacation Dream" wave promotion, available until February 28th.

Lee Haslett, Celestyal's Chief Commercial Officer, expressed satisfaction with the response to the Arabian Gulf itineraries, highlighting their appeal due to the combination of iconic landmarks and lesser-known destinations. He noted the opportunity for guests to explore the region's rich history, culture, and natural beauty, from Doha's impressive skyline to the vibrant sights of Dubai and the wildlife sanctuary of Sir Bani Yas Island.
