Aroya Cruises is expanding its operations to the Arabian Gulf in early 2026, starting with cruises from Dubai and Dammam in February.
The Aroya will offer a series of seven-night itineraries visiting Muscat, Khasab, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Sir Bani Yas between February 28 and March 14, 2026.
Following the initial sailings, a five-night cruise will depart from Dubai before the ship repositions to Dammam in late March 2026. The Arabian Gulf inaugural season includes a nine-night repositioning cruise from Dammam to Jeddah, featuring visits to four destinations, including Dubai and Muscat.
Aroya Cruises has recently launched in the Mediterranean and originally began operations in the Red Sea in November 2025.
In a written statement Aroya Cruises shared “The season includes cruises from Dubai and Dammam starting in February 2026. The week-long cruise has four sailings scheduled between Feb. 28 and Mar. 14, 2026. The Arabian Gulf will be the third region to debut in Aroya’s destination portfolio over a 15-month timeframe.”
