Celestyal Cruises has announced updates to its 2025-2026 Arabian Gulf itineraries, introducing additional ports of call and itinerary refinements based on guest feedback. 

The cruise line has restructured its 3- and 4-night "Iconic Arabia" sailings aboard the Celestyal Discovery:

  • 3-night "Iconic Arabia": Departing Fridays from Abu Dhabi, this itinerary includes visits to Dubai and Sir Bani Yas Island, offering a blend of urban exploration and beachside relaxation. 
  • 4-night "Iconic Arabia": Departing Mondays from Abu Dhabi, this midweek voyage features stops in Doha, Ras Al Khaimah, and Khasab, providing a mix of cultural experiences and coastal scenery. 

The 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery is set to commence her inaugural Arabian Gulf season on December 12th, 2025. She will be joined by the 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey, returning to the region on December 6th, 2025, to operate the "Desert Days" itinerary, which begins with a special Abu Dhabi Grand Prix celebratory cruise. 

Both vessels will offer a combination of 7-night, 3-night, and 4-night itineraries from December through March over the next three consecutive seasons, providing guests with diverse options to explore the Arabian Gulf.
