To celebrate its maiden season in the Arabian Gulf, boutique cruise line Celestyal is paying homage to the “1001 Nights” Middle Eastern fairy tales with a destination-inspired cocktail menu.
The menu, which will be available in the evenings on Celestyal Journey, features a selection of 13 new signature cocktails and mocktails, including Arabian Jewel, a gin-based cocktail with a base of fragrant rosewater and spicy cardamom; Desert Mirage, a vibrant cocktail with a blend of passion fruit and White Oak Rum, enhanced with a hint of lime and mint; and The Storyteller, a mocktail offering a mix of fruity flavors including orange, blackberry and lime, combined with Seedlip and sweet syrup.
Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, said in a press release statement, “We pride ourselves on our regional specialities, bringing a hint of the destinations we visit to our guests on board at every touchpoint, and this new collection of signature beverages is a perfect reflection of that ethos. Whether it’s savoring a smooth mocktail in Doha, perhaps a classic cocktail in iconic Dubai or discovering a new favorite tipple while docked at the hidden gem of Sir Bani Yas Island, guests can enjoy exciting and authentic flavors across their Arabian Gulf sailing.”
The 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey will spend an inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf beginning in November, offering new 7-night itineraries to destinations including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Oman.

The cocktails will also be available at the Casino Bar on Celestyal Discovery when she joins Celestyal Journey for her maiden Arabian Gulf season in December 2025. Celestyal Discovery will offer new 3- and 4-night Iconic Arabia sailings from Abu Dhabi.
