Celestyal and Visit Qatar will host 32 agents on a special familiarization trip to Qatar, in the Arabian Gulf, which will include tickets to the Qatar Airways Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2024.
Traveling in late November in partnership with Qatar Airways, agents from the UK, Australia, Spain, France and Germany will join Janet Parton, Vice President of Business Development for the UK, Western Europe and Australia at Celestyal, for a five-night trip to Doha, Qatar, showcasing the best of the region.
The agents will enjoy a three-night shore stay, which will include excursions in Qatar, as well as a visit to the Arabian Travel Market, before embarking on the Celestyal Journey for two nights on board while the ship is docked at the Doha Cruise Terminal.
The agents will be invited aboard to an event with racing driver David Coulthard. A former British racing driver and television commentator, Coulthard competed in Formula One from 1994 to 2008, winning 13 Grands Prix in 15 seasons, and raced for Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull. His television commentary career has taken him to work for the BBC and Channel 4.
The final leg of the journey will take guests to the Qatar Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit on December 1, with access to the grandstands.
Janet Parton commented: “As the Celestyal Journey heads to Doha, we are beginning preparations for our inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf with this exciting familiarization trip for agents. Together with Visit Qatar and Qatar Airways, we have organized one of the most exciting familiarization offers on the market. Not only will we be showcasing the stunning Arabian Gulf and our beautiful Celestyal Journey, but our agent partners will also get a taste of the F1 adrenaline rush, which we are confident will motivate them to share the experience with their clients.”
Celestyal's 'Amazing Desert' cruises will debut this November aboard the Celestyal Journey. The seven-night itinerary will depart from either Doha, Qatar, or Dubai, UAE, and will include stops in Bahrain, Khasab, Oman, Sir Bani Yas Island, UAE, and Abu Dhabi, UAE.
