We offer a range of cruises based on Dubai and Abu Dhabi for 2011/12

These are from from Abu Dhabi on MSC Lirica, and from Dubai on new Costa cruise flagship ship Costa Favolosa and Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Emirates, offers great shopping opportunities, a renowned 'corniche' as well as a desert wilderness ideal for dune safaris. See the huge Emirates Palace hotel and the nearby Heritage Village. Abu Dhabi has its new F1 Grand Prix circuit and huge Ferrari World theme park at Yas Marina, some distance out of town. Pre- and post-cruise stays in Abu Dhabi are available.

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 Burj Khalifa tallest building in the world, and the Palm with the Atlantis Hotel at its tip. The Dubai Creek area retains its traditional charm with narrow streets and classic dhows plying their trade.

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

Khasab in Oman is at the northern tip of the Arabian peninsula, with a small port busy with traders from Iran.

Blue Water Holidays looks forward to booking you on our 5th season of Dubai cruises in 2011/12. Phone us on 01756 706543.
