Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

You sail from Doha on January 7, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Gold-tinted sunsets over the harbour, warm evenings, and architecture that's trying to outdo the last city. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 9 restaurants on MSC World Europa, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You start in Doha and come back with stories from United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
