Passengers booking voyages on Saudi Arabia’s first cruise ship have been warned not to bring scissors, CDs or ‘magazines that violate public decency’ on board.
The vessel – which shares the name Aroya with the state-owned cruise line – is due to make its maiden voyage in December this year. Initially the ship will be sailing from its home port on the Red Sea, Jeddah, to Aqaba in Jordan and two Egyptian ports: Sharm el Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula and Ain Sokhna, south of Suez.
