Want to go shopping at the world's largest and most luxurious mall? Enjoy a barbecue under the desert stars? Costa makes all this and much more possible with its cruises to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
With many more facilities for Spanish passengers, who will have included flights from Madrid and Barcelona with the leading airline Emirates.
A dream itinerary that leads you to discover a thousand and one things. From vast desert dunes to the edge of the sea. Endless skyscrapers behind the tents of nomadic villages. If there's one thing that characterizes the United Arab Emirates, it's contrast, and Spaniards are increasingly drawn to its enigmatic allure.
Costa Cruises, the number one cruise company in Europe, was the first cruise line to open the Dubai and United Arab Emirates cruise market in 2006. Its leadership and innovation in the region remain evident, and the Italian company is once again committed to this destination, offering unique itineraries aboard two of its most iconic ships, the Costa Fortuna and the Costa neoRiviera.
During the winter season, between December 2015 and March 2016, these ships will offer 8-day cruises to explore the captivating cities of Dubai, Muscat (Oman), Khasab (Oman), and Abu Dhabi. Extended stopovers of more than one day in some of these destinations, such as Dubai, Muscat, and Abu Dhabi, are ideal for getting to know these incredible cities, where tradition and cutting-edge modernity intertwine.
The Costa neoRiviera, ambassador of Costa's neoCollection range, transforms its offering into an even more exclusive cruise, characterized by a relaxed pace and superior gastronomic offering, making it an ideal product for couples seeking tranquility in a more intimate and personalized environment.
To further immerse yourself in the land of Arabian Nights, Costa Cruises offers a variety of excursions at each port of call, providing truly memorable experiences designed to create lasting memories for every passenger. These range from sipping tea atop the 300-meter-tall Jumeira Etihad towers to an off-road desert excursion culminating in a barbecue under the stars, followed by a unique evening on the private beach of Al Maya Island. Experience the passage of time at the 80-million-year-old Fossil Rock in Fjiarah and the futuristic buildings of Abu Dhabi. Or shop in some of the world's most modern and exclusive malls and end the day strolling through the traditional souks of each city.
Furthermore, Costa always strives for excellence and maximum comfort for its passengers. Therefore, for these cruises departing from Dubai, Costa improves connectivity with this port thanks to an agreement with the leading airline Emirates, offering weekly flights from Madrid and Barcelona. And for those who prefer to book their own flights to extend their stay in Dubai, the cruise line also offers the option of boarding.
