CELESTYAL Cruises’ Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey have met in the Arabian Gulf for the first time ever, celebrating the line’s inaguraul dual-ship season in the region.
Guests aboard both ships waved to each other as the two vessels called Abu Dhabi late last week.
The moment came as Discovery made her Arabian Gulf debut earlier in Dec, 12 months after her sister ship Journey sailed on her first season in the region (CW 12 Mar).
Celestyal has been holding a series of plaque exchange ceremonies on board Discovery this month to mark her arrival in the region, in destinations such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Doha, and Oman.
She will operate three-, four- and seven-night ‘Iconic Arabia’ cruises, sailing round trip from her northern winter home port in Abu Dhabi.
“Discovery’s debut in the Arabian Gulf marks an exciting new chapter for our brand,” CCO Lee Haslett said.
“The warm welcome we’ve received reflects the region’s growing enthusiasm for cruise, and this is replicated by the demand we’re seeing from guests for immersive experiences and authentic encounters, all at unbeatable value.
“Having both Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey operating in the Arabian Gulf for the next three years underscores our commitment to offering guests deeper, more meaningful ways to explore.” MS
