August 29, 2025 — Aroya Cruises will resume Red Sea sailings after a three-month Mediterranean deployment, expanding leisure choices for travelers seeking warm-weather escapes, beach stops, and heritage excursions along Saudi Arabia’s west coast.
Key takeaways
- Red Sea itineraries return for the 2025–2026 winter season.
- Cruise product complements resort stays in Jeddah, Umluj, and RSI area.
- Convenient access via Jeddah and Red Sea International Airport.
- Ideal for short breaks or add-on to longer Saudi itineraries.
Why it matters
Cruising adds a flexible, “unpack once” way to sample Saudi coastal attractions. As the Red Sea portfolio of hotels grows, cruise calls can distribute demand across destinations and seasons — good for travelers seeking variety and for local economies building year-round tourism.
