Experience the Ultimate Adventure: Celestyal’s Formula 1 Cruise Combines Grand Prix Excitement with Arabian Gulf Sailing

Celestyal Cruises has announced a new sports-themed itinerary for December 2025 aboard the Celestyal Journey, catering to motorsport enthusiasts with the "Desert Days & Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" voyage. This excursion is set to coincide with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, allowing guests to experience both competitive racing and luxury cruising.

Travelers can select between two options for this unique journey. The first is a 7-night package starting on December 4, 2025. This option includes a two-night stay at a 4-star hotel in Abu Dhabi, followed by full access to the Grand Prix event, which encompasses practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and the main race. The cruise component spans five nights, featuring stops at Dubai (including an overnight stay) and Sir Bani Yas Island.

Alternatively, a 5-night cruise-only option will be available, departing on December 6. This choice also allows access to the Grand Prix on race day, and guests will have the same port stops as the longer itinerary.

Both packages come with essentials such as track transfers, meals, soft drinks, Wi-Fi, port fees, gratuities, a welcome cocktail reception, and a special beachside event at Sir Bani Yas. Prices commence at approximately $2,138 for the 7-night voyage and $1,418 for the cruise-only option.

The experience will feature guest speakers, including former Grand Prix driver David Coulthard and UK commentator Laura Winter, who will provide insights and commentary about the sport during the cruise.

This itinerary marks a notable development for Celestyal Cruises, as it highlights their expanding focus on event-driven cruising in the Arabian Gulf, blending the excitement of the Grand Prix with the cultural allure of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sir Bani Yas Island.
