Cruise Saudi Partners with Heritage Commission to Integrate Saudi Culture into Travel Itineraries
Saudi Arabia is taking bold steps to enhance its cruise tourism by forging a partnership between the state-backed operator, Cruise Saudi, and the Heritage Commission. This collaboration aims to immerse cruise passengers in Saudi culture from the moment they arrive at key ports, including Jeddah, Yanbu, and Dammam.
The agreement will ensure that recognized historic and cultural sites become integral stops along cruise routes. Aboard the national brand, Aroya Cruises, guests can expect to enjoy enriched experiences through cultural exhibitions, performances, and traditional cuisines that highlight local heritage.
In addition, the initiative will see the redesign of port terminals and passenger facilities to reflect Saudi architectural styles and cultural themes. The interiors of the ships and even the naming of cruise routes will draw upon local history, creating a cohesive cultural experience.
Educational materials will also be developed to provide passengers and travel agents with insights into Saudi history and culture. The plans even include the potential for underwater archaeological diving tours, adding a unique aspect to maritime heritage within the region.
This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader tourism strategy focused on heritage tourism, promoting historic destinations like AlUla, Diriyah, and the Historic Jeddah District to draw international visitors.
For Cruise Saudi, this partnership underscores a commitment to establishing a distinctive Arabian cruise experience, building upon existing investments in port infrastructure and innovative shore-side offerings.
