Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Doha on February 4, 2027 visits Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Mosques, malls, desert dunes. Each port feels like a different version of the Gulf. Of the stops, Dubai tends to be the one people talk about: Where superlatives are the starting point. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
