Celebrity Cruises to base a ship in Abu Dhabi

Great news for Celebrity fans they have just announced they are offering sailings from Abu Dhabi from winter 2016.

They will have six sailings on board Constellation running from November to January. Celebrity has previously made calls into Dubai but this will be the first time it has based a ship for a series of cruises. They have decided to base a ship there after feedback from guests

I think it’s a great winter destination and nice you don’t have a 10 hour flight to Miami to get some winter sun, Abu Dhabi is only a 7 Hour flight from the UK so will be very popular with UK guests heading for some winter sun.

They are offering two nine-night Arabian Adventures sailings leaving Abu Dhabi on December 10 and January 2, calling at Khasab and Muscat in Oman, an overnight in Oman and a day a sea, then onto Dubai for a double overnight before sailing back to Abu Dhabi for another overnight. Celebrity will also offer a 12-night itinerary on November 28 called Spice and the City of Gold, taking in Khasab, two days at sea, and then onto India, calling at Mumbai, Goa and New Mangalore, then three days at sea back to Dubai for an overnight before continuing onto Abu Dhabi. The line will also run a 14-night sailing over Christmas and New Year
