Celestyal Cancels Cruises in March Due to Regional Developments

Celestyal is canceling two 3 and 4-night cruises on March 27th and 30th due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and coordination with the authorities. All passengers disembarked safely from the Celestyal Discovery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and from the Celestyal Journey in Doha, Qatar, with both ships fully operational and their departure from the region will take place according to the instructions of the authorities. The company is completing operational arrangements to reposition the Celestyal Discovery in the Mediterranean before the summer season. Passengers who have booked these cruises will be able to choose between a full refund or credit for a future cruise. Celestyal is closely monitoring developments and remains committed to resuming scheduled cruises as soon as possible. The decision to cancel cruises is a precautionary measure for the safety of passengers and crew, given the uncertainty in the region.
