Celestyal increases capacity and expands in Arabian Gulf

Celestyal increases capacity and expands in Arabian Gulf

Celestyal Cruises announced on Tuesday its year-round programs from 2025 to early 2027 to go on sale from Wednesday, with a 30% capacity increase.

The cruise line’s newest ship, Celestyal Discovery, will sail the winter sun Arabian Gulf season from 2025. Celestyal Discovery will join Celestyal Journey in the region, which will depart on the previously launched seven-night “Desert Days” itinerary later this year.

The announcement means that Celestyal Discovery will no longer sail the ‘Three Continents’ itinerary. Customers on the six affected departures in late 2025 have been contacted and either reimbursed or offered alternative cruises.
