Overview

Start your journey in the glittering city of Dubai before sailing through the Arabian Gulf on this unforgettable 9-night Emirates Explorer Cruise. This adventure begins with a 2-night stay in Dubai, a city where modern luxury meets deep tradition. Here, you can explore its famous landmarks, shop in grand malls or traditional souks, and enjoy the warmth of the desert sun before you step aboard the MSC Euribia for your 7-night cruise.

Dubai is a city that never stands still. From the top of the Burj Khalifa, you can see a skyline that stretches across the desert, and from the shores of Jumeirah, you can watch the sun dip behind the world’s tallest towers. You can take a stroll along Dubai Marina, visit the colourful spice markets, or experience a desert safari just beyond the city lights. Every moment in Dubai feels vibrant and alive.

After your time in the city, the next part of your journey begins aboard the MSC Euribia. This ship is more than just transport – it’s your floating resort. Once on board, you’ll feel the calm rhythm of the ocean as you sail to Doha, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and the private island of Sir Bani Yas before returning to Dubai. Each stop brings a new side of the Gulf to discover, from the futuristic skylines to ancient forts and calm beaches.

Doha welcomes you with its mix of modern art and traditional culture. The Corniche offers a scenic walk along the sea, while Souq Waqif gives a taste of the city’s heritage. In Bahrain, you’ll find a nation of islands rich with history, home to old forts and local markets. Abu Dhabi blends tradition with beauty – from the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque to the glamour of Yas Island. And at Sir Bani Yas, you’ll find a peaceful island sanctuary filled with wildlife and untouched nature, perfect for a relaxing day by the sea.

This cruise is not just about destinations. It’s about the feeling of discovery as you sail from one fascinating city to another. It’s about slow mornings at sea, warm evenings on deck, and that sense of wonder that only travel can bring. Every day feels new, every view feels special.

When Can You Travel

This Emirates Explorer Cruise departs on 3rd December 2025, an ideal time to visit the Arabian Gulf. December brings warm, pleasant weather perfect for exploring cities and spending time outdoors. With average daytime temperatures around 25°C, you can comfortably wander through the markets of Doha, visit the mosques of Abu Dhabi, or relax on the beaches of Sir Bani Yas without the heat of the summer months.

In Dubai, December is one of the best times to visit. The city comes alive with lights and festive displays, the beaches are at their best, and the evenings are perfect for open-air dining or sunset walks by the water. You’ll have the chance to explore comfortably before starting your cruise adventure.

Once aboard the MSC Euribia, you’ll experience smooth sailing through calm Gulf waters. The sea is usually gentle at this time of year, making it a relaxing journey between ports. The scenery changes with each stop – from glittering city skylines to peaceful islands surrounded by turquoise water.

At Sir Bani Yas, you might spend your day exploring the nature reserve or relaxing on the beach under the sun. In Abu Dhabi, the white marble domes of the Grand Mosque stand tall under the clear blue sky. In Doha and Bahrain, you’ll find a mix of modern energy and traditional charm that shows how these cities balance the past and present.

As you return to Dubai at the end of your voyage, you’ll have time to reflect on what you’ve seen – the warmth of the people, the flavours of the local food, the calm of the sea, and the excitement of each new place. It’s the kind of trip that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
