Celestyal Cruises has unveiled 3 new Arabian Gulf itineraries timed to coincide with the 2024 Grand Prix races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
These cruises, available for booking starting March 15, will all be hosted aboard the 1,260-passenger vessel, Celestyal Journey.
Passengers will have the opportunity to purchase a 3-day grandstand race ticket, inclusive of transfers to and from the ship, starting at GBP 193.
One of the offerings is the 7-night Desert Days & Qatar Grand Prix cruise, departing from and returning to Dubai. This voyage includes stops in Khasab, Oman, and Abu Dhabi, with a 3-day stay in Doha to align with the Grand Prix. The journey sets sail on November 25, with prices starting at GBP 769.
Similarly, the Desert Days & Abu Dhabi Grand Prix itinerary, also spanning 7 nights and roundtripping from Dubai, features visits to Khasab, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Abu Dhabi, where it remains for 3 days during the Grand Prix. Departing on December 2, prices for this cruise start at GBP 769.
For those seeking an extended experience, Celestyal offers the option of combining both cruises into the 14-night Desert Days & Double Grand Prix itinerary, with prices starting at GBP 1,319.
These cruise offerings are part of Celestyal's spring campaign, allowing passengers to secure bookings with deposits starting at GBP 125 if reserved by April 30.
Chief commercial officer Lee Haslett said that at Celestyal, they had "the sole vision of creating unmissable moments at sea and ashore."
“One of our overarching goals is to provide a premium yet affordable way to experience the best of the regions we visit.
“With prices starting at £769 per person, our three new Desert Days with Grand Prix sailings are a perfect example of this, and you’ll need to be hot off the grid to catch them.”
