Celestyal Cruises has expanded its 2025 cruise schedule as a result of what the cruise line says is unprecedented demand in early bookings.
Celestyal will add voyages to its Heavenly Adriatic itineraries in Greek, as well as its Desert Days itineraries out of Doha in the Arabian Gulf.
Both itineraries aboard its new ship Celestyal Journey were introduced in January this year, with the Greek sailings having begun earlier this month, while the Arabian Gulf itinerary will begin on November 9th, 2024.

In addition to adding more cruises out of Doha, Qatar, Celestyal has also introduced 3- and 4-night variations of its Arabian Gulf deployment, giving passengers the opportunity to sail a shorter vyage than its usual week-long itinerary.
In the Middle East, Celestyal Journey will offer an additional three 7-night roundtrip cruises from Doha, Qatar, calling in Bahrain, Dubai, Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi; departing February 15th, 22nd, and March 1st, 2025.
These three new cruises bring Celestyal’s total program in the region to 17 voyages, as they join the existing 14 7-night round trip departures from Doha already published and on sale from November 2024 through to December 2025.
Two of these cruises will be special variants from Doha to Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi to Doha on sale between November and December 2024.
Celestyal’s 3- and 4-night options in the Arabian Gulf comprise a midweek beach cruise or a weekend city-hopping sailing to appeal to guests looking for a shorter voyage. The new options include:
A three-night “Desert Days” segment departing Abu Dhabi and calling at Doha, Bahrain and Dubai, departing November 15th and 22nd, December 13th, 20th and 27th, 2024, and January 3rd, and February 21st and 28th, 2025.
A four-night “Desert Days” segment overnighting and departing Dubai, calling at Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi, and departing November 11th and 18th, December 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th, 2024, and January 6th, February 17th and 24th, and March 3rd, 2025.
In the Greek Isles, Celestyal is adding two additional 7-night round-trip cruises from Athens, calling in Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Bari, Corfu and Katakolo; departing March 22nd and 29th, 2025.
These new cruises join the eight existing 7-night round-trip departures from Athens between April and October 2025, and the three existing seven-night “Summer Heavenly Adriatic” sailings in July and August 2025, which also call in Venice.
All cruises are on sale now and form part of Celestyal’s new spring campaign, offering a 50 percent discount on deposits from as low as $150 per booking available until April 30th, 2024.
