Aroya Cruises, the new cruise company launched by Cruise Saudi, will make its debut at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai, scheduled for May 6, 2024. This annual event attracts leaders and professionals from the tourism sector worldwide, offering a unique opportunity to present Aroya Cruises’ innovative vision to a global audience. 

With its participation in the ATM, Aroya Cruises aims to redefine the concept of vacationing in Arabia. The company, unique in its kind, is designed to cater to Arab preferences and stands out for its distinctive facilities and exclusive services. Aroya Cruises presents itself as a floating resort with 18 decks, featuring 28 different restaurants, 20 entertainment venues, a business meeting area, and wellness and spa facilities. 

The ship celebrates Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage and typical Hafawa hospitality. Visitors to the Aroya Cruises stand at the ATM will experience a small preview of life on board, thanks to an interactive stand that recreates some of the ship’s experiences and designs. With interactive screens and models of ships and cabins on display, the stand will offer an exclusive sneak peek into this innovative cruise company.

The ATM, the leading event for the inbound and outbound travel industry in the Middle East, will also serve as an important platform for Aroya Cruises to sign a series of strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) and participate in in-depth discussions both on stage and with key industry leaders and trade media. 

Turky Kari, Executive Director for Marketing and Corporate Communications at Aroya Cruises, will participate in a panel titled “The Potential of Cruises: Making Waves in the Middle East,” taking place on Wednesday, May 8. The session will examine the potential of the cruise industry in the Middle East, addressing the challenges and opportunities to position the Gulf and the Middle East as a successful cruise destination.

Aroya Cruises President, Joerg Rudoph, expressed great enthusiasm for participating in the ATM, describing it as a key event in the tourism industry. He stated that this is a very exciting time for the company, as they launch their first cruise ship onto the commercial market and look forward to showcasing the exceptional facilities, quality design, and authentic Arab experiences on board Aroya Cruises to ATM attendees this May. 

The ATM promises to be a significant event for Aroya Cruises and Cruise Saudi, marking an important step in its journey of innovation and growth in the global cruise industry.
