Travel Update 4th March 2026

We continue to follow developments in the Middle East and remain in regular contact with the relevant authorities. Throughout this period, our focus has been and continues to be the safety and wellbeing of our guests and crew.

Considering the current geopolitical situation in the region, we have taken the decision to cancel the remaining Arabian Gulf departures on Celestyal Journey. This now concludes the Arabian Gulf season for both Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery.

All impacted guests are being contacted by the channel through which they made their original booking - either their travel provider or Celestyal directly. We are offering the option of a full refund or a future cruise credit.

Due to operational constraints and confirmed port arrangements, guests currently onboard Celestyal Discovery in Dubai, UAE and Celestyal Journey in Doha, Qatar, will be advised of disembarkation plans within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Our onboard teams will support guests with onward travel arrangements and provide assistance with transfers or accommodation where required. Guests have been advised to contact their airlines directly regarding flight arrangements and to register with their respective embassies for any official updates or repatriation support.

We remain in contact with embassies and foreign offices to stay informed of any guidance or assistance being provided for onward travel arrangements.

Subject to operational conditions, Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery will reposition to Athens to begin their scheduled programme in the Mediterranean.

We sincerely thank our guests and partners for their patience and understanding during this evolving situation.
