Saudi Arabia's Aroya joins Cruisehost booking platform

Saudi Arabia’s Aroya Cruises has been integrated into the Cruisehost platform, meaning travel agents worldwide can now access, book and promote Aroya’s Mediterranean sailings. 

 

The Saudi cruise line, which sailed its maiden voyage in December 2024, joins more than 50 cruise operators and 600-plus ocean, river and sailing vessels on Europe’s largest cruise platform. 

 

This means Aroya itineraries, prices and availability can now be accessed by more than 10,000 travel agencies across 28 European countries, as well as by online travel agents (OTAs) worldwide. 

 

With the Cruise API, OTAs can seamlessly integrate Aroya Cruises into their own booking processes, websites or apps in real time and with full control over content and processes.

“This new cruise line represents modern cruise experiences with a strong regional character. For Cruisehost, this is a significant step toward greater diversity and market growth.”
