Aroya Cruises Destinations

Embark on a journey through the Red Sea and Eastern Mediterranean with AROYA Cruises.

From the hidden turquoise coves and vibrant coral reefs of the Red Sea to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean, AROYA Cruises reveals the soul of every region.

Whether you are exploring Luxor from Safaga, walking through legendary Petra from Aqaba, diving in Sharm El Sheikh or watching the sunset over the Aegean in Mykonos, every port becomes a new chapter of your Arabian Dream.

Red Sea & Maritime Crossings

  • Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: The historic “Bride of the Red Sea.” Begin your voyage in the UNESCO-listed Al-Balad district, a maze of ancient coral-stone houses, or enjoy the modern luxury of the world’s tallest fountain on the Jeddah Corniche.
  • Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt: A world-renowned paradise for divers and sun-seekers. Explore the vibrant underwater life of Ras Mohammed National Park or relax on the golden sands of Naama Bay.
  • Aqaba, Jordan: Your gateway to the “Rose-Red City” of Petra. Beyond its rich history, Aqaba offers crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelling and views of the dramatic desert mountains.
  • Ain Sokhna & Safaga, Egypt: The ultimate portals to ancient wonders. From Ain Sokhna, journey to the Great Pyramids of Giza, and from Safaga, step back in time at the majestic temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.

Guests can discover Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its monumental Nabataean tombs carved into the desert rock. 
  • Ismailia: At the Heart of the Suez Canal Located on the shores of Lake Timsah, Ismailia offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of the world’s most important waterways. Its leafy avenues, waterside setting and Suez Canal Museum make it an intriguing new addition to AROYA’s Red Sea voyages.
