For its new program in the Arabian Gulf, Celestyal has entered into a series of collaborations in the region. Agreements were signed with AD Ports Group and the Abu Dhabi Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The agreement signed at the Arabian Travel Market will assist Celestyal in promoting Abu Dhabi as a significant destination among its guests and further elevating the cruise line's profile in the region.
In 2024, Celestyal initiated a 7-day 'Desert Days' itinerary departing from Doha with stops in Bahrain, Dubai, Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi. All voyages will be conducted aboard the Celestyal Journey, which accommodates 1,260 passengers and has recently been joined by the newly refurbished Celestyal Discovery, with a capacity of 1,266 passengers, for the winter season. It was noted that the program has received high demand, with sailings rapidly filling up.
