Desert & Skyline Tour – Abu Dhabi & Doha

About this cruise

You board in Abu Dhabi on January 11, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Manama, Doha, Dubai and Sir Bani Yas Island, 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Middle East & Arabian Gulf: Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Doha alone is worth the trip, Futuristic skyline on an ancient pearl-diving coast. Around 10 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 January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Worth booking. That's the short version.
