Pricing is based on departure date 6 December 2025

Selected departure dates from November 2025 to March 2026

The destination evokes the oriental fascination, turquoise sea landscapes and warm desert sands.

Where once there was just desert, today we find the tallest buildings in the world, the most luxurious hotels and the boldest of architecture that coexists with the historic palaces and the remnants of the long and rich Arab history.

Indulge in this luxurious journey with an MSC Cruise, an old tradition that is also a part of the progress made by the Emirates in recent years: Abu Dhabi and Dubai will surprise you with their daring, futuristic architecture, and Sir Bani Yas island will enchant you with a dream beach experience or a safari like no other between the mangroves, the desert and the protected bay areas.

Locations not to miss are the Gulf of Oman and its spectacular coral reef, Khor Fakkan, Khasab and Muscat and Dammam in Saudi Arabia, where you can get a taste of the enchanted atmospheres of the one thousand and one nights.

During an MSC cruise to Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Qatar, you will also disembark in Bahrain, an island 40km long and just 15kn wide in The Gulf. This country with a thousand-year-old culture, is also called “the kingdom of the two seas”, because its waters border with those of Qatar to the south and with those of Saudi Arabia to the west. In the course of your stop in Bahrain, an excursion will take you on a discovery of its charming capital, Manama. The city, where modern skyscrapers stand side-by-side with old buildings, has strong ties to nomadic traditions: its inhabitants often head out to the desert and stay in large white tents to participate in the ancient tradition of falcon hunting. The National Museum is an excellent starting point for a visit to the capital: an opportunity to learn about the history and customs of this territory.

In Abu Dhabi, the fun takes on a new dimension at the Ferrari World Theme Park, offering thrilling adventures. Meanwhile, the Abu Dhabi Louvre offers an unparalleled artistic journey. Spanning 12 galleries, this world-class collection maps humanity's artistic triumphs from the Neolithic era to the present day, all while defying conventional museum exhibition practices.

Emirates cruises also bring you to the stunning Sir Bani Yas island that will enchant you with a dream beach experience or a safari like no other between the mangroves, the desert and the protected bay areas. Embark on the journey of a lifetime as you discover the unique allure of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sir Ban Yas with MSC’s Emirates cruise.
