Ras Al Khaimah has been introduced as a new port of call as part of revised Gulf itineraries by Celestyal from next winter.
The sailings will also include additional stops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha
The changes have been made based on feedback from passengers, travel agents and Celestyal’s regional partners, according to the line.
The new three and four-night cruises will run from December 2025.
The changes were outlined as the line prepares to end its inaugural Arabian Gulf season this month by the ship Celestyal Journey.
The 1,260-passenger ship returns to the region on December 6, 2025, starting next winter’s season with an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix celebratory cruise.
The 1,360-passenger Celestyal Discovery will join to make its Gulf debut from December 12.
The line will then offer a combination of seven, four and three-night Gulf itineraries from December until March on both ships, for the next three consecutive seasons. Cruise-only prices start at £279 per person as part of an early booking offer running until March 16, including up to €100 of complimentary specialty drinks and dining.
Chief commercial officer Lee Haslett said: “We strive to deliver unmissable experiences, and in doing so constantly listen to our guests and travel agent community.
“Following a hugely successful first season in the Arabian Gulf we learnt more about what our guests and partners would like to see and are excited to announce these changes based on their feedback.
“Our guests have told us they love iconic destinations like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, as well as discovering more off-the-beaten-track ports that are synonymous with a Celestyal voyage, such as Sir Bani Yas Island and the coastal resort of Khasab.
“We’re known for our destination immersive and port intensive cruises, so we have refined our 2025 itineraries to offer more time in our guest’s favourite ports, while adding an additional port in the stunning Ras Al Khaimah.”
