Celestyal<\/a><\/strong> has announced two new Athens to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia sailings for their 2026 programme, sailing from Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celestyal Journey will depart on November 14 and operate a seven-night voyage with calls at Port Said and Safaga, Egypt; a Suez Canal transit; Aqaba, Jordan; and Jeddah, Saudi. Prices start from \u00a3609 \/ USD$789 \/ AUD$1109 \/ \u20ac689.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celestyal Discovery will depart on an eight-night voyage on November 20, calling at the same destinations as well as Kusadasi, Turkey. A seven-night segment will also be available from Kusadasi. Prices start from \u00a3709 \/ USD$909 \/ AUD$1269 \/ \u20ac789.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following these departures, both ships will continue their passage from Jeddah to the Arabian Gulf, enabling them to commence their winter seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: \u201cThe strong demand for our Athens to Jeddah sailings last year confirmed the growing appeal of longer, destination-led voyages that connect both iconic and lesser-known ports across these popular regions. Building on that success, these new sailings allow us to offer guests a truly unmissable journey while also providing a seamless transition into our third consecutive Arabian Gulf season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celestyal Journey will continue her Arabian Gulf season, operating a new version of the seven-night \u2018Desert Days\u2019 itinerary through to March 2027, sailing roundtrip from Doha and calling at Dubai (overnight), Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island and Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celestyal Discovery, also operating through to March 2027, will sail the line\u2019s three-, four- and seven-night \u2018Iconic Arabia\u2019 cruises, sailing roundtrip from Abu Dhabi, calling at Doha, Khasab, Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island and Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the new schedule, the three-night \u2018Iconic Greek Islands\u2019 sailing departing November 20, will be cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
