Your Guide to Cruising from Dubai
Dubai has rapidly become one of the world's most glamorous cruise departure points. The city's futuristic skyline, luxury shopping, and year-round sunshine make it the perfect starting point for Arabian Gulf adventures. The modern Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal can handle the world's largest ships, and the sail-away past the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab is a spectacle in itself.
Arabian Gulf Itineraries
The most popular sailings are 7-night Arabian Gulf loops visiting Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island (a wildlife paradise), Doha in Qatar, and Bahrain. These itineraries offer a fascinating blend of ultra-modern cities, desert excursions, and traditional souks. Compare Dubai cruise deals for the latest fares.
India & Suez Canal Voyages
For a more adventurous sailing, 12-14 night voyages head to India via Oman, calling at Mumbai, Goa, and Cochin. Epic 18+ night repositioning cruises transit the Suez Canal, connecting Dubai to the Mediterranean via the Red Sea and Egypt — a bucket-list experience.
Getting to Dubai Cruise Terminal
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is one of the world's best-connected hubs with direct flights from London (7 hours), Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
