AROYA Red Sea Cruise from Jeddah

The AROYA Red Sea cruise from Jeddah is one of the most unique cruise experiences in the world. The AROYA ship — Saudi Arabia's first luxury cruise line — departs from the port of Jeddah and offers 3, 4 and 5-night voyages in the turquoise waters of the Red Sea. Itineraries include Yanbu, Sharm El Sheikh and Aqaba. With halal dining, family spaces and an Islamic-cultural atmosphere, this cruise is an exceptional choice for Iranian passengers — and requires no Schengen visa.

Red Sea routes and ports

The AROYA Jeddah cruise offers three itinerary lengths — 3, 4 and 5 nights — each covering a combination of the following ports:

• Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) — the embarkation port. Jeddah is a historic Red Sea city with the Corniche fountain, old souqs and the gateway to Mecca. The ship sails from the Islamic Port of Jeddah.
• Yanbu (Saudi Arabia) — a beautiful Red Sea port with pristine beaches and clear waters, ideal for diving and swimming.
• Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) — one of the world's most famous diving destinations, with coral reefs, turquoise waters and beach activities, plus access to the Sinai Peninsula.
• Aqaba (Jordan) — Jordan's main Red Sea port and the gateway to the ancient city of Petra — an unforgettable stop for history and nature lovers.

Every itinerary includes sea days where you can enjoy the ship's pools, Blossom Spa, AROYA Theatre and international restaurants. The 3-night sailings are perfect for a short weekend getaway, while the 5-night voyages offer a fuller, more relaxed experience.
