The Arabian cruise operator resumes sailings from 20 September.
Saudi Arabia continues to raise the bar for regional travel, and AROYA Cruises — the region’s very first Arabian cruise line — is steering the momentum back to its home waters. The Arabian cruise line returns to the Red Sea with a refreshed itinerary that combines new shore excursions with enhanced onboard amenities. Sailings begin on 20 September, with flexible three, four, and five-night voyages designed for quick escapes or longer sea-bound breaks.
Jeddah remains the homeport, placing guests at the heart of the Red Sea. The AROYA Cruises Red Sea route calls at the private island of Jabal Al Sabaya for sun-soaked downtime, then crosses to Egypt for stops in Safaga and Sharm El Sheikh. A brand-new call at Marsa Alam adds coral-rich reefs and laid-back beach vibes to the mix. Fares start from SAR 1,849 per person, offering an all-inclusive onboard experience shaped by signature Saudi hospitality.

The ship is a 335 metre floating resort with 1,678 cabins that frame sweeping ocean views. Suites and villas cater to guests seeking added space and privacy. Spread across 18 decks, the experience is geared for all ages, with 20 entertainment venues that include a 1,018-seat theatre and a generous kids zone. Expect a splash area, five twisting water slides, a souq for retail therapy, wellness spaces, and plenty of active fun with mini golf, karaoke rooms, and climbing walls.

Dining is a headline act, with 29 restaurants covering global flavours. Highlights include Irth, the first Saudi Arabian restaurant at sea; La Tavola, serving hearty Italian plates; The Fish Market, featuring the day’s catch; and Bamboo Kitchen, offering live teppanyaki. Space Diner channels American favourites with a playful, futuristic spirit, while Khuzama Restaurant and Lounge brings Saudi French fusion to the table. Al Matal Lounge pours teas from around the world and offers shisha, and Legends Sports Lounge screens live matches with quick bites and shisha.
If a stylish Red Sea escape is calling, AROYA Cruises offers a blend of discovery and downtime.
