In response to unprecedented demand, Celestyal Cruises has added additional departure dates for its new Adriatic and Arabian cruises, the company announced Thursday.
Since launching the new cruises in January, the company has heard lots of positive feedback from guests and received many early bookings. As such, its leaders have decided to add two new Heavenly Adriatic departure dates and three new Desert Days sailings to the mix. The line also unveiled new three- and four-night variations of its Desert Days itinerary.
Both itineraries are offered onboard the 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey. Heavenly Adriatic launched for the first time earlier this month, while Desert Days is slated to debut in November.
Heavenly Adriatic is a seven-night itinerary that sails roundtrip from Athens and includes stops in Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Korot, Bari, Corfu and Katakolo. The additional new dates depart March 22 and March 29, 2025.
Desert Days is also a seven-night itinerary that sails roundtrip from Doha. Travelers will visit Bahrain, Dubai, Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi. The additional departures are scheduled for February 15, February 22 and March 1, 2025.
The new three-night versions of Desert Days will depart November 15, November 22, December 13, December 20 and December 27, 2024. That itinerary departs from Abu Dhabi, stops in Doha and ends in Dubai.?
Celstyal will also begin offering a four-night version that overnights in Dubai and visits Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi. The four-night departures are slated for November 11, November 18, December 9, December 16, December 23 and December 30, 2024, plus January 6, February 17, February 24 and March 3, 2025.
The new departure dates are on sale now and theyre part of Celestyals spring promotion, which includes deposits as low as $150 per booking through April 30.
Our 2025 season will be our biggest and best to-date, says Lee Haslett, Celestyals chief commercial officer. By introducing new itineraries and regions to our schedule, and reducing our deposits to 50 percent through to April, were committed to creating unmissable experiences for our guests.?
