A cruise ship has entered dry dock in Germany where the vessel will transition to a new cruise line that will launch later this year.
AROYA Cruises is a new premium cruise line that will sail its maiden voyage on December 16, 2024.
The cruise line’s first ship, AROYA, has entered dry dock where the ship will be renovated.
The vessel originally debuted in 2017 as World Dream and sailed under Dream Cruises until the company became insolvent and ceased operations. Cruise Saudi purchased the ship from an auction in 2023 for their new cruise line.
The 151,000 gross ton ship can carry up to 5,000 passengers. It is a Breakaway class ship so those who sail with Norwegian Cruise Line will be familiar with the layout.
The cruise ship will have the following features when it debuts with AROYA Cruises:
- 15 restaurants (five complimentary)
- 13 Lounges
- 20 entertainment venues
- Two theaters
- One of the largest kids zones in the industry
- Water park with five slides
- Exclusive places for women that includes pool, gym and thermal spa
