Very nice cruise and buffet food with great variety of foods. The only thing I did not like was the tour taken from the ship with only a view of ain Dubai (the wheel) and the skyscrapers of Dubai Marina. I thought it went at least as far as the atlantis to see the most beautiful part of Dubai at night, but all in all a good experience

Cruisin' by the Dubai Marina

Board an Arabian Dhow and dive right into the charm of Dubai Marina. With a welcome drink in one hand and dates in the other, it's just the quintessential Emirati-style start. Around you, the city lights twinkle, with the Cayan Tower spiraling up into the night sky. Oh, and the soft tunes of Arabic and Hindi music? They're just perfect for setting a magical vibe.

Belly up for a buffet and beats

The buffet's open, ready with dishes from around the world and Asia. Grab a plate, fill it up, and relax. The spread is extensive with Arabic and Russian salads, koftas, kebab, Indian curries, and Asian and continental dishes like noodles, pasta, fish and chips, and more (not to forget the desserts). Later, watch a Tanoura dancer spin in their colorful skirt, a traditional Egyptian dance form that’s just fun to see. It's all the little things that make this cruise feel special.
