Cancellation of 20 and 23 March 2026 – Celestyal Discovery

09.03.2026

Celestyal continues to monitor developments in the Middle East and remains in regular contact with the relevant authorities in the region.

All guests have now safely disembarked Celestyal Discovery in Dubai, UAE and we are working towards disembarking the last remaining guests on Celestyal Journey, currently alongside in Doha, Qatar over the next 24 hours.

Both vessels remain fully operational and ready to sail. Their departure from the region will take place in line with guidance from the relevant authorities.

Given the current situation, we have taken the decision to cancel the 20 March (3-night Iconic Aegean) and 23 March (4-night Iconic Aegean) sailings operated by Celestyal Discovery, while we finalise operational arrangements for the ship’s repositioning to the Mediterranean ahead of the summer season.

All guests booked on these departures will be offered the option of a full refund or a future cruise credit. Guests are kindly asked to contact their original travel provider to discuss the available options and next steps.

We continue to follow developments closely and remain focused on resuming our planned programme as soon as possible. We sincerely thank our guests and valued partners for their patience and understanding.
