New Repositioning Cruises on Celestyal

Celestyal Cruises announced new repositioning cruises ahead of the 2025-26 winter sun season in the Arabian Gulf. 

These 14-day cruises will see Celestyal stopping in five new ports in two new countries and a return to Egypt for the first time in two years.

"Last year, we committed to offering our guests even more destinations. Whether they are returning travellers or new to cruising, we welcome everyone with the warm hospitality that is at the heart of our heritage,” says Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal. “Our tenth anniversary year will be bigger than ever, beginning with extensive renovations across our fleet and an expanded program.” 

In November, Celestyal’s two ships will depart from Athens on an "Ancient Athens to Amazing Abu Dhabi" itinerary, calling at Port Said, Egypt with maiden calls to Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt), Ain Sukhna (Egypt), Aqaba (Jordan), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), and Muscat (Oman), followed by a visit to Dubai, before arriving in Abu Dhabi. The itinerary for the Celestyal Discovery will include an additional stop at Kusadasi, Turkey.

In March, 2026, after spending the season in the Arabian Gulf, the ships will run the same itineraries in reverse, returning to Athens for the summer.

All four cruises will feature several bookable segments ranging between four and 13-nights.
