2nt Dubai Stay & 7nt Emirates Explorer Cruise

Your holiday begins with two nights in Dubai, a city that combines modern wonders with traditions of the Middle East. This is your chance to see the world’s tallest building, shop in glittering malls, wander through souks filled with spices and gold, or relax on white sandy beaches. The warm evenings, the glowing skyline, and the mix of old and new make Dubai an exciting place to start your journey.

After your stay, you will board MSC Euribia for a seven-night cruise across the Arabian Gulf. The ship is your floating resort, with comfortable cabins, delicious meals, pools, entertainment, and everything you need to relax. From here, each day brings you to a new destination filled with culture, history, and beauty.

The first stop is Doha, the capital of Qatar. This is a city of contrasts, where modern towers rise above traditional markets. Walk along the Corniche, visit the Museum of Islamic Art, or experience the buzz of Souq Waqif. Next is Bahrain, an island nation where ancient forts meet modern shopping and relaxed cafés. It is smaller and quieter than its neighbours but full of character.

From Bahrain, you sail to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Known for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and its stunning white domes, Abu Dhabi blends tradition with style. You can also explore its waterfront, gardens, and cultural districts. Then comes Sir Bani Yas, an island filled with wildlife. Here you can see gazelles, giraffes, and other animals in a unique natural setting, or simply relax by the beach.

Your cruise ends back in Dubai, giving you one last chance to soak in the sights before your flight home. This holiday offers you the glamour of Dubai, the adventure of a cruise, and the discovery of multiple destinations — all in one smooth journey.

• Flights from London Gatwick to Dubai and back
• 2-night hotel stay in Dubai before the cruise
• 7-night full-board cruise on MSC Euribia
• Comfortable cabins, dining, pools, and onboard entertainment
• Stops in Doha, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and Sir Bani Yas Island
• Return transfers between airport, hotel, and port

Everything is arranged for you, so you can focus on enjoying each destination and the comfort of your holiday.

In Doha, the cooler climate makes exploring its museums, cultural districts, and waterfront much more comfortable. Abu Dhabi shines at this time of year, with the Grand Mosque, Corniche, and cultural attractions easy to enjoy under pleasant sunshine. Bahrain, with its mix of history and modern charm, also offers a welcoming atmosphere in November.

Sir Bani Yas Island, with its wildlife park and sandy beaches, is at its most enjoyable during this season. The warm but gentle weather invites you to discover nature, relax on the coast, and make the most of every day.
