The venue will offer a variety of locally sourced Saudi foods and drinks and high-quality products. All restaurant staff will be trained by the Culinary Arts Commission to ensure a ‘deluxe and genuine’ experience for passengers, according to Cruise Saudi. 

Saudi Arabia’s first cruise line is aimed at Saudi nationals, expats and regional guests. All elements will be created to suit Arabian tastes and preferences, from the design of cabins to the on board food and beverage.

Last month, DL Services was appointed to develop Aroya's catering spaces.
