Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Doha on December 31, 2026 visits Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. New skylines next to old souks, with desert just beyond the harbour walls. Of the stops, Dubai tends to be the one people talk about: Where superlatives are the starting point. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
