Aroya Cruises adds winter sailings from Istanbul
Six- and seven-night Eastern Mediterranean voyages will connect Turkey with ports in Greece and Egypt.
Aroya Cruises is introducing winter and shoulder-season sailings from Istanbul, expanding its Eastern Mediterranean program with itineraries linking Turkey to ports in Greece and Egypt.
The cruise brand, created by Cruise Saudi and backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, is using Istanbul’s Galataport as a homeport for the regional voyages. The deployment represents an expansion beyond Aroya Cruises’ initial Red Sea operations.
Promotional materials provided to travel trade partners describe six- and seven-night cruises departing from Galataport. Published schedules also indicate that some voyages are offered as round trips from Istanbul, combining Greek and Egyptian calls within a single itinerary.
Specific port calls may differ by departure date. Publicly available schedules suggest the winter program alternates between routes centered on the Aegean and itineraries extending farther south to Egypt.
