AROYA Cruises is heading to the Mediterranean! Homeported in Galataport Istanbul, the luxury Arabian cruise line will introduce its inaugural itineraries bringing passengers through iconic destinations in Greece and Turkey.

From 21 June, the seven-night voyages will visit ports in Turkey and Greece, with the initial itinerary including stops in Bodrum, Marmaris, Kaş, and Kuşadası, followed by Athens, Mykonos, and Crete later in the month. July will see the addition of Rhodes and İzmir, with Fethiye joining the schedule in August. One of the itineraries will focus exclusively on Turkish coastal cities.

Following a successful inaugural season in the Red Sea, which began with its maiden voyage in December, AROYA Cruises is expanding its operations. The ship boasts a range of amenities, including a zip line, water slides, and one of the largest kids’ zones at sea. On board, guests can enjoy Saudi and international cuisine at one of a dozen restaurants and 17 lounges and cafes.

Dr. Jörg Rudolph, President of AROYA Cruises, said launching the Mediterranean season was a proud moment, offering a new way to discover one of the world’s most iconic cruise regions through an Arabian-inspired experience.

İlhan Sipahi, CEO of Galataport Istanbul, added that being selected as the homeport for AROYA Cruises was a source of immense pride.

Designed with families in mind, AROYA’s ship features a zip line, water slides, and an expansive kids’ zone. Cruise-goers can also look forward to immersing themselves in Arabian culture while on board.
