Experience all that this thriving jewel in the UAE has to offer, before departing on your luxury cruise\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the best time to cruise from Dubai?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Planning on a leisurely cruise across the Arabian Gulf<\/a>? The best time to hop on a cruise from Dubai is during the winter season, when destinations in the UAE, Indian Ocean and Far East experience beautiful weather. Generally, the best time of year to book is between December and March, with January and February being the most popular months.<\/p>\n\n\n

Which cruise lines sail from Dubai?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MSC Cruises<\/a> have two ships homeporting in Dubai from November to March, but there are also a limited number of luxury cruise lines such as Azamara<\/a>, Seabourn <\/a>and Silversea <\/a>that sail with one-off itineraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do cruises from Dubai go to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many of the cruises departing from Dubai will pass through neighbouring destinations around the Arabian Gulf and Emirates<\/a>. If you\u2019re seeking tropical sights more so than cities, you will also find some cruise itineraries that travel to the Indian Ocean or reposition to Asia or Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Your Next Emirates Cruise<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What should you do whilst you\u2019re in Dubai?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to soak up the sunshine on iconic Jumeirah Beach, wander through the bustling souks and bazaars, or get your adrenaline pumping with a 4×4 desert safari experience; there\u2019s no end to the entertainment in this world-class city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t visit Dubai without sunbathing in style on the Jumeirah Beach, especially since most of the resorts are situated right on top of these coral-white sands. Hit the chic beach clubs and enjoy refreshments in your own private cabana, or perhaps you want to get involved in the action and make a splash with watersports in the Persian Gulf? Speaking of action, those with an appetite for adventure can surf the shelving sands of the UAE desert on an exhilarating 4×4 safari \u2013 pitch up a tent once the sun begins to set and enjoy an authentic Arabian BBQ underneath the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to tick off the iconic landmarks? Dubai Mall holds the title as the largest in the world; equivalent to the size of 200 football pitches (that\u2019s pretty big), you\u2019ll find no less than 1200 retail stores, designer boutiques and food outlets here \u2013 not to mention it\u2019s very own Underwater Zoo, Ice Rink, and the famous Dubai Aquarium – so you can guarantee hours of fun for the whole family. If you\u2019re a fan of heights, head to the top of the Burj Khalifa (the world\u2019s tallest building) which towers 555 metres above the city streets, for uninterrupted views over the Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got the kids in tow? Dubai plays host to a selection of splash-tastic water and theme parks including IMG World Of Adventure, Wild Wadi Waterpark and Dubai Parks & Resorts, sure to serve up hours of fun \u2013 and keep little ones cool in the sweltering heat! Whatever is on your itinerary, this all-encompassing city will be one you won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Woman<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Extend your stay?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much to see and do in this UAE metropolis, it can be hard to squeeze it all in \u2013 with many visiting on stopovers extending their stay to explore all that the city has to offer. Extend your stay on the Palm and reside in one of the most iconic hotels on the Gulf, having more time to hit the malls, beach clubs, spas and admire the spectacular skyline. Or, if you prefer balmy beaches without the bustling city backdrop, Dubai has fantastic connections to the paradise islands of the Maldives, instead. How does a Pina Colada in your water villa infinity pool sound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
