Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 23:00

The lure of Dubai is irresistible, from its glittering mega-skyscrapers to its traditional Islamic roots. Dubai’s most iconic sights include the 160-story Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper, and the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, a luxury resort which happens to be shaped like a boat’s sail.

Dubai is all about luxe shopping, high-end boutiques, unique souqs (markets) and cultural institutions like the Dubai Museum. While you’re stopped on a Dubai cruise, you’re meant to live it up on unforgettable excursions like a helicopter tour of the city or a camel ride at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

Arrives: 12:30 Departs: 18:00

Sir Bani Yas Island, off the coast of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, stands as a unique blend of luxury, history, and wildlife conservation. Originally a royal retreat, it has been transformed into a wildlife reserve, home to thousands of free-roaming animals, including the Arabian Oryx, gazelles, and giraffes. The island's landscape is dotted with lush mangrove forests and beautiful beaches, offering a tranquil escape and various nature-driven activities.

Archaeological sites on the island tell tales of ancient civilizations, including a 7th-century Christian monastery that visitors can explore. With its carefully preserved environment and rich heritage, Sir Bani Yas offers an exceptional encounter with both nature and history in a secluded setting.

The world's richest city and the capital of the UAE boasts a wealth of culture, history and adventure, from the emirate's old souks, where you can sip a fragrant Arabic coffee, to the rush of the world's fastest rollercoaster.

Khasab, often referred to as the "Norway of Arabia," captivates visitors with its fjord-like khors, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic mountain landscapes.

This city in Oman's Musandam Peninsula is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and outdoor activities, such as dhow cruises in the fjords, snorkeling, and dolphin watching.

Its rugged terrain and small, scattered villages offer a glimpse into traditional Omani life, while the Khasab Castle, dating back to the 17th century, provides a historical insight into the region's rich heritage.
