Arabian Getaway – Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About this cruise

You board in Doha on March 4, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Manama, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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. Sir Bani Yas Island stands out. It's A private wildlife sanctuary in the Arabian Gulf. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. Doha itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
