Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

By January 21, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Doha, visiting Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Ultra-modern buildings beside centuries of tradition. The contrast is striking. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC World Europa takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Doha has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
