Cruise platform to facilitate bookings for homegrown line's local sailings due to depart in December

A new chapter in Middle Eastern tourism will begin with the launch of Aroya Cruises, Saudi Arabia’s first-ever homegrown cruise line, and Reserve Cruise is offering agents benefits when booking.

Operated by Cruise Saudi, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Aroya Cruises is a key part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, aimed at transforming Saudi Arabia into a leading global tourist destination.

An Authentic Arabian Experience
An Aroya spokesperson said: "Aroya Cruises is not just another cruise line, it's a gateway to the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Arabian Peninsula, and the flagship vessel, Aroya, is a masterpiece in luxury cruising."

Originally the World Dream from Genting Cruises, this ship has been meticulously refurbished to "reflect the elegance and warmth of Arabian hospitality".

Spanning 335 metres and accommodating 3,362 passengers, Aroya Manara offers 18 decks of unparalleled luxury. Guests can choose from 1,678 cabins, each designed with comfort and style in mind.

Guests can choose between Balcony and Sea View Cabins, Suites and even Villas

A Floating Resort Like No Other
From entertainment to dining, Aroya has it all. The ship features the AROYA Theatre, capable of seating over 1,000 guests, and 20 different venues for performances and activities, ensuring there's never a dull moment on board.

"Dining is a world-class experience, with five complimentary restaurants and 11 specialty eateries, including IRTH, the first Saudi restaurant at sea," added the spokesperson.

For families, Aroya has one of the largest kids' zones in the cruising world, complete with a water park and thrilling water slides

Wellness is also a priority, with the Blossom by AROYA spa offering a range of services in dedicated spaces for men and women. For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, the Khuzama package delivers VIP treatment, including butler service, priority boarding and access to private lounges.

Discover the Region’s Hidden Gems
Aroya Cruises' itineraries are designed to showcase the best of the region. Starting in December 2024, the Red Sea Voyages offer three-day cruises that explore the crystal-clear waters and stunning landscapes of the Red Sea, including a stop at a private island owned by Cruise Saudi.

In January 2025, four-day cruises will take guests to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt and Aqaba in Jordan, with opportunities to visit iconic sites like Petra.
