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

The cruise experience was great but I faced a lot of issue with pist booking customer service. I had paid for the cruise with transfers and had guven my residence address at the time of booking on headout. Until the last day, nobody contacted me about pick up time. I contacted headout on live chat and they told me to get in touch with Rayna Tours. At Rayna Tours, they said that they will not be able to pick us up from home as it's too far off. This was not mentioned anywhere on the product page that pick up will be from selected spots only. This caused alot of confusion and I had to drive 1 hr away to the hotel from where cruise driver picked us up.

From start to finish, this experience was top class. Great food, talented saxophonist and the service was just perfect. The dhow boat jorney, seeing all the sights from the river gave a new dimension to Dubai. I would highly recommend. The glass of wine was a treat. Thankyou for making christmas day a special day for us.

Pro tips to know before booking your Dubai Cruises 

  • The Dubai Cruises set sail from three main locations: The Dubai Marina, Dubai Creek, and the Dubai Canal. You can choose from one of these locations for your cruise. 
  • All the cruises, except for the Abra Rides, include a full meal for lunch and dinner. They also include live entertainment in the form of dance or music and sometimes even both. 
  • When choosing a cruise, cost is one of the most important factors to consider. We offer some of the best prices online with discounts that go up to 50%. 
  • The cruises that depart from the Canal are more expensive (starting from AED200), compared to the ones that depart from the Creek (starting from AED 60) or the Dubai Marina (starting from AED120). 
  • The Canal Cruise gives you a view of the Burj Khalifa up close, the Dubai Opera House, and you can sail under the Sheikh Zayed Bridge. The main attraction of the Dubai Canal Cruise is the IMAGINE show, the world’s largest waterscreen projection. This is a good option to splurge on if you want to impress your dinner companion, be it a business or a romantic one. 
  • The Marina Cruises are the most popular choice for many, locals and tourists alike, because of the great views of the Marina Skyscrapers, Twisted Tower inside the canal, Dubai Eye, Jumeirah Beach, and more. This is the perfect option for traveler groups like friends, families, and couples because of the variety of gourmet meals, entertainment, and views, all at an affordable price. 
  • The Dubai Creek Cruise is perhaps the most reasonably priced. You should choose this cruise if you are looking for some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of city life and serene views of the traditional Deira or old Dubai. 
  • Some cruises allow you to choose between the upper and lower deck. The upper deck is more expensive than the lower deck, and the lower deck is air-conditioned. If you purchase lower-deck tickets, you can still visit the upper deck for photos. 
  • You can upgrade your ticket with hotel transfers for just AED 30-40. This is a recommended option because if you book a cab or a metro, you will end up paying more. With the hotel transfers, you can also avoid the hassle of planning the commute.  Very few tour operators apart from us provide this option. 
  • The duration of the cruises is an average of 1.5-3 hours. So plan your day accordingly.

Frequently asked questions about Dubai Cruises

What should I wear on a Dubai cruise?

While Dubai has a relaxed vibe, modest dressing is recommended. Avoid overly revealing clothing. Check if your chosen cruise has a dress code, especially for fancy dinner cruises. Pack comfortable clothes and consider sunscreen for daytime cruises.

What's included in a Dubai cruise?

Inclusions can vary according to the location, timing, and cost, but typically include a scenic tour, a buffet dinner (often with local and international options), and sometimes live entertainment.

What are the different cruise routes available?

There are three main cruise routes in Dubai: The Dubai Marina, Dubai Creek, and Dubai Canal. The Cruises that depart from the Marina give you a view of the cityscapes, along with the Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah. The cruises from Dubai Creek take you along the older parts of the city and bring you close to the souks and the famous Al Fahidi Historial Neighborhood. The cruises from the Dubai Canal take you along Downtown Dubai, past the towering skyscrapers in the Business District, Burj Khalifa, and the Dubai Opera House.

Are there bathrooms on dhow cruises?

Yes, but they are typically smaller than on larger vessels. Be prepared for a more basic experience.

Can I drink alcohol on a dhow cruise?

Alcohol consumption rules vary by operator. Some cruises may be dry, while others allow it in a limited way. You can opt for alcoholic beverages when booking your tickets.

What can I do to avoid seasickness?

Consider taking medication or natural remedies beforehand. Fresh air on deck can also help.

What are some tips for planning my Dubai cruise arrival?

Double-check the boarding location with your operator - it can vary by company and cruise type. Factor in traffic and plan to arrive 30 minutes early for shared transfers.
