The Celestyal Journey will visit four new countries and six new ports of call in the Persian Gulf starting in November 2024.
The new seven-night "Amazing Desert" itinerary will depart from Doha, Qatar, on November 9, and will make its first-ever stops in Bahrain, Dubai, Khasab (Oman), Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi. The Celestyal Journey, with a capacity of 1,260 passengers, joined the fleet last September.
The new itinerary will run until January 18, 2025, and will subsequently return permanently for the winter season.
Celestyal has also confirmed that its fleet of two vessels will resume year-round operations, with seasonal offerings:
– A winter program, from November to April departing from Doha on the Celestyal Journey, offers the “Amazing Desert” itinerary with three, four, five, and seven-night options. And the Celestyal Discovery, with a capacity for 1,266 passengers, joining the fleet this year, will offer the “Three Continents” cruise from November 2025 to March 2026, visiting Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt.
– Celestyal’s core program, from April to October, features the Celestyal Journey operating three itineraries: the “Sublime Adriatic,” from Greece to Montenegro, Croatia, and Italy, with inaugural calls at Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Bari, and Katakolo. The “Summer Sublime Adriatic” also includes Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, and Greece, with inaugural calls at Venice, and the “Idyllic Aegean” voyages visiting the Greek Islands and Turkey will begin in 2025. The Celestyal Discovery will offer three- and four-night cruises through the “Iconic Aegean” from March to November.
Itineraries for 2024 and 2025 are now on sale.
All destinations, including new itineraries, are part of Celestyal's current winter discount promotion, also offering discounts on Celestyal Plus+ Experience packages on select 2024 departures, along with reduced single supplements and reduced fares for families with children.
Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer of Celestyal, said: “We are entering 2024 with a completely renewed fleet, seven new countries and 12 new international ports, in addition to our much-loved Greek and Mediterranean cruise program. We are starting the year strong and intend to continue growing and delighting our customers throughout 2024,” he continued.
