Dubai Cruises - Holiday Destination

Dubai - the largest part of the United Arab Emirates by population - is a centre of world business and host for an increasing number of sporting events. The emirate is also a stunning cruise holiday destination, visited by a number of vessels on their tours of the region.

Passengers on the Oriana from P&O Cruises can explore the country known as the Pearl of the Arabian Gulf, taking in the unique mix of sparkling modern architecture alongside traditional buildings.

Consistent high temperatures mean that guests can enjoy the sun by the pool onboard or instead hop to the beach when at shore. Other possible onshore excursions include a boat trip up Dubai creek which includes a visit to the Grand Mosque, while shoppers can also bring back a golden piece of Arabia from the renowned Gold Souk.

Travellers with Costa Cruises are advised to take advantage of bathing in natural pools at Hatta on their trip, before enjoying a wander through the al-Bastakia district that dates back to the early 1900s.

Additional excursions for Costa Cruises guests range from a tour of main hub Dubai City, a Dubai Heritage Tour, a boat trip to the artificial Palm Islands and - for the more adventurous - a 4x4 Dune Drive Safari.

World Cruise passengers on the Pacific Princess from Princess Cruises also have the opportunity to take advantage of the best of Dubai.

Holidaymakers are able to alternate the fabulous amenities onboard the Pacific Princess with a choice of astounding shore excursions, including a behind-the-scenes look at the Nad Al Sheba Club, the home of the richest horse race in the world - the million Dubai World Cup.
