Two new F1 sailings have been announced by award-winning cruise line Celestyal for its 2026/27 season.

On November 27, the 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey will be in the Qatar capital for an eight-night Doha F1 itinerary. The ship will stay in port for three nights, allowing guests to watch all practice sessions, qualifying and race day events of the Formula One Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2026. It will then sail from Doha, visiting Dubai (overnight); Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island and Khalifa Bin Salman, Bahrain. Prices start from USD$839.

On December 4, the 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery will be in Abu Dhabi for a seven-night Abu Dhabi F1 itinerary. The ship will stay in port for three nights, allowing guests to watch all practice sessions, qualifying and race day events of the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026.

The ship will then depart Abu Dhabi on a four-night ‘Iconic Arabia’ sailing, calling at Doha; Ras Al Khaimah and Khasab, Oman. Prices start from USD$899.

All fares include all meals, soft drinks, WiFi, port fees and gratuities. Race tickets will be available to purchase via Celestyal, with travel agents able to pre-register for tickets via the line’s agency sales team.

Celestyal Journey will then continue her Arabian Gulf season, operating a new version of the seven-night ‘Desert Days’ itinerary through to March 2027, sailing roundtrip from Doha and calling at Dubai (overnight), Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island and Bahrain.

Celestyal Discovery, also operating through to March 2027, will sail the line’s three-, four- and seven-night ‘Iconic Arabia’ cruises, sailing roundtrip from Abu Dhabi, calling at Doha, Khasab, Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island and Ras Al Khaimah.

“Returning to the Arabian Gulf for a third consecutive season with both of our ships is a significant milestone for Celestyal and a clear reflection of the demand we continue to see for this region,” said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal.

“Our previous Formula One sailings have been some of the most successful and talked-about itineraries we have ever operated, combining world-class sporting events with immersive destinations and the ease of a cruise holiday.

“Building on that momentum, our new Doha and Abu Dhabi F1 sailings for 2026 offer guests even more time in port, seamless access to race-weekend action and the opportunity to explore the Gulf in depth, all wrapped into the value-led, destination-rich experience Celestyal is known for.”
