Celestyal has expanded its shore excursion program for its upcoming new-for-2025 “Iconic Arabia” itineraries on its second ship to visit the region, Celestyal Discovery. New tours include experiences in Ras Al Khaimah as the cruise line makes it maiden visit to the port and additional options in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery will officially launch the line’s new three-, four- and seven-night “Iconic Arabia” cruises starting Dec. 12, 2025, sailing roundtrip from her winter homeport in Abu Dhabi. Ports of call include maiden visits to Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, in addition to Doha, Qatar; Khasab, Oman; Dubai, UAE; and Sir Bani Yas Island. Prices for three nights start at $339 per person; four nights from $429 per person; and from $689 per person for the seven-night itinerary. Fares include all meals, soft drinks, Wi-Fi, port fees and gratuities. The shore excursion program has a range of half-day, full-day and two-day options. It also offers “Authentic Encounters,” which provide unique experiences with local people and attractions, and smaller group sizes. Highlights include: Journey to the Soul of Ras Al Khaimah: A guided tour through the diverse landscapes of Ras Al Khaimah, starting with a scenic drive through desert dunes, followed by a visit to the royal camel racing stables, an Emirati date farm, and a mountain village. The full-day tour is $260 per person.

In April, Celestyal signed a three-year agreement with the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority. The multi-year partnership, agreed to at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, promotes Ras Al Khaimah as a key destination among Celestyal’s guests, further establishing the cruise line’s affiliations with the Arabian Gulf region. “Our new ‘Iconic Arabia’ shore excursions offer what we call a true backstage travel pass to the Arabian Gulf—giving guests insider access to the rich tapestry of culture, history and natural beauty that defines the region,” said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer for Celestyal. “From the futuristic skyline of Dubai to the serene shores of Sir Bani Yas Island and the treasures of Ras Al Khaimah, each experience, led by our incredibly knowledgeable team, connects travelers with the authentic spirit of the destination.” For more information, call 877-337-4665 or visit www.celestyal.com or the trade portal at www.celestyalcompass.com.
