Aroya shares details of Khuzama luxury guest experience

Aroya Cruises will offer the Khuzama Experience experience on board its first vessel, Aroya, designed to provide a superior level of luxury from the moment the passenger steps aboard ship. 

Aroya first sets sail on December 16 with a three-night voyage from Jeddah, which will include a visit to a private island in the Red Sea. 

Khuzuma concept

Khuzama passengers can choose from 150+ VIP suites and one Royal villa, each featuring walk-in wardrobes, spacious balconies and luxurious bath amenities, as well as plenty of space. Passengers also benefit from additional enhancements including complimentary Wi-Fi, priority embarkation and disembarkation, luggage delivery and a dedicated butler service. 

The Khuzama option is priced at SAR 1,535 per person per night. 

‘Our luxury travellers are seeking something a little extra; exclusive experiences and elevated facilities combined with a deeply personal and curated service,’ commented Jorg Rudolph, president of Aroya Cruises. ‘Aroya is already incredibly special, but the Khuzama concept goes one step further with the most luxurious way to explore the wonders of Saudi by sea.’ 

Inspiration

The cruise line chose the word Khuzama - meaning lavender in Arabic - inspired by the flower, which is seen as a symbol of Saudi Arabia's national identity and heritage. Lilac is the colour of the Kingdom's ceremonial carpets, for instance, to reflect the generosity of the land and the richness of Saudi cultural heritage.

Beyond the accommodation, there is an exclusive Khuzama Restaurant and Khuzama Lounge. The former offers a rotating menu that blends Saudi and French cuisine, whilst the latter serves as a comfortable space for guests to enjoy drinks and light bites 24 hours a day.
