MV AROYA Launches Red Sea Season in Jordan

On January 7, 2025, Amin Kawar & Sons had the honor of welcoming the MV AROYA, the first Arabian mega cruise vessel, is owned by Saudi Cruises and operated by Columbia Cruise Services. This visit not only marked the ship’s maiden call to Jordan but also launched its first season in the Red Sea, making it a milestone for both regional tourism and maritime operations.

As the vessel’s appointed agent in Aqaba, Amin Kawar & Sons provided full services, ensuring seamless coordination with port authorities and delivering the highest standards of operational support. From berthing arrangements to crew assistance and supplies, our team ensured a smooth and efficient turnaround, reflecting our long-standing expertise in cruise logistics and port services.

What makes this call especially significant is the fact that MV AROYA is currently the only cruise vessel calling Red Sea ports amid ongoing regional challenges.

We are proud to play a part in supporting the revival and sustainability of regional tourism, and we look forward to future calls from AROYA and other vessels that recognize Aqaba as a strategic and welcoming port on their itineraries.
