Cruise Saudi has announced that it has appointed marine catering architects, DL SERVICES, to develop premium catering spaces for Cruise Saudi’s new cruise line AROYA Cruises.

DL SERVICES will work together with Columbia Signature F&B Corporate teams, for the redevelopment and layout design of all existing catering spaces on board AROYA Cruises.

This collaboration will form part of one of the most comprehensive refit projects within the marine industry, as DL SERVICES will work on the development and addition of completely new catering areas and concepts onboard.

This development will include existing catering areas throughout the vessel being redesigned and upgraded with the latest equipment in line with each venue’s individual concept and requirements. These catering spaces on AROYA Cruises will be designed to deliver not only an impressive premium and comprehensive international line up of cuisine offerings but will also showcase truly outstanding culinary experiences focusing on the local cultural offerings and traditions.

This latest announcement forms part of Cruise Saudi’s wider strategy to partner with outstanding sector-leading vendors to ensure that AROYA Cruises offers the highest standard of services and facilities onboard.

Lars Clasen, CEO at Cruise Saudi said: “Exceptional catering facilities are crucial to providing quality cuisine, and the comprehensive and varied culinary offering onboard our AROYA Cruise ships will in turn undoubtedly enhance the premium experience. We are therefore delighted to be partnering with marine catering architects, DL SERVICES, to provide state-of-the-art catering spaces on our AROYA Cruises ship. “

Launched in June 2023, and designed for Saudi nationals, expatriates and regional guests, AROYA Cruises will be tailored specifically to the interests of the Arabian market. The creation of AROYA Cruises supports Cruise Saudi’s overall goals of creating 50,000 job opportunities in Saudi, and welcoming 1.3 million cruise passengers annually, by 2035.
