Cruise from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Muscat

Dubai Cruise Holidays in Winter 2009/2010

Explore the most amazing area of the Middle East with a cruise starting and ending in the fascinating city of Dubai. Enjoy 2 nights on board in Dubai plus cruise to Muscat in Oman, Fujayrah and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and the island of Bahrain

We offer four cruises from Dubai for winter 2009/10. Two are on new Costa cruise sister ships - Costa Luminosa and Costa Deliziosa, the third is on Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas, and the fourth on small ship sail cruiser Panorama

With its combination of old mosques and new shopping malls, futuristic architecture and miles of desert wilderness, Dubai is a land of amazing contrasts. Modern Dubai is a world-class destination, with sensational highlights - the iconic Burj Al Arab Hotel, the Pinnacle skyscraper, the Palm Islands resort, the indoor ski-slope, and the World island complex.

Muscat in Oman is a more traditional city, with sights including Rustaq Fort and the majestic Sultan's Palace. Fujayrah in the United Arab Emirates is the perfect base for desert adventures.

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Emirates, offers great shopping opportunities, a renowned 'corniche' as well as a desert wilderness ideal for dune safaris. The island of Bahrain brings a mix of ancient and modern with old traditions rubbing shoulders with the best of modern city life. Both have new F1 Grand Prix circuits.
