Aroya Cruises is monitoring operational conditions in the Arabian Gulf, according to a spokesperson from the company.

After launching its inaugural season in the region in late February, the Saudi-based cruise line is scheduled to offer cruises from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia through early May.

“The safety, security and comfort of our guests and crew continue to be our highest priority,” the company stated.

“Due to ongoing regional operational considerations and following close coordination with the relevant maritime and national authorities, we will remain in Dubai while operational conditions continue to be monitored until further notice,” Aroya added.

“We regret the disruption to our guests’ travel plans and invite them to contact our dedicated team at customercare@aroya.com for more information.”

The company said that its onboard crew is offering full support to ensure all guests currently on the Aroya can make the necessary onward travel arrangements.

The 3,400-guest ship is currently docked in Dubai after suspending its itinerary in the region last weekend.

As part of a seven-night cruise, the vessel was scheduled to sail to Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, visiting Khasab, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Sir Bani Yas.

Aroya Cruises was one of four cruise lines sailing in the Middle East when operations were suspended in late February.

Two brands, Celestyal Cruises and MSC Cruises, decided to cancel the remainder of their seasons in the region. With two ships sailing in the Arabian Gulf, TUI Cruises also halted its operations.

Six vessels are currently in the region. In addition to the Aroya, the MSC Euribia, the Celestyal Discovery, the Celestyal Journey, the Mein Schiff 4 and the Mein Schiff 5 are also docked in local ports.
