Celestyal has released the first official images of its enhanced cabin offering onboard Celestyal Discovery, following the ship’s second extensive winter refit in Athens earlier this year. The 1,360-guest ship returned to service in March 2025 to launch the line’s Mediterranean season and will head to the Arabian Gulf in December for its inaugural season in the region.
The new staterooms were developed in partnership with design agency AMK, incorporating design elements inspired by the regions the ship visits. Among the upgrades are 47 new staterooms, including 30 Junior Dream Suites and two Grand Horizon Suites located above the bridge with balconies that are approximately 167 square feet—increasing the ship’s premium capacity by more than 50 percent. Fifteen more interior Cosmos Cabins have also been added, resulting in an increased overall capacity of 7.4 percent.
Celestyal Discovery will make its Arabian Gulf debut on December 12, 2025, joining its sister ship Celestyal Journey, which returns to the region on December 6, with a Grand Prix celebratory sailing. The ships will offer a season of three-, four- and seven-night cruises from Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha, with sailings scheduled through March 2026, and set to continue for the next three consecutive years.

The Arabian Gulf itineraries include:
- A weekly three-night “Iconic Arabia” cruise, round-trip from Abu Dhabi (Friday to Monday), with calls to Dubai and Sir Bani Yas Island, offering beach and wildlife safari experiences.
- A weekly four-night “Iconic Arabia” cruise, round-trip from Abu Dhabi (Monday to Friday), with calls to Doha, Dubai (via Ras Al Khaimah) and Khasab in Oman.
All three- and four-night “Iconic Arabia” cruises can be combined to create an extended seven-night sailing experience. The line has announced that Celestyal Discovery will homeport in Abu Dhabi for the next three seasons.
Further, Celestyal’s “Summer Promotion” will run until August 31, 2025, offering up to 60 percent off across 87 sailings from June 2025 to March 2027.

Guests will also receive 25 percent extra on all credit added to their CelestyalPay tab before departure, earning up to €250 (approximately $289) onboard spend.
