Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Doha on December 31, 2026 visits Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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. Keep an eye out for Dubai: Where superlatives are the starting point. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC World Europa takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
