A 7-night cruise from Dubai in 2025–2026 called "Pearls of the Persian Gulf". Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of luxury and comfort aboard a comfortable liner, enjoying unforgettable views and a rich cultural programme. Cruise participants do not require a visa, which makes the trip even more convenient and enjoyable.

The best-selling route of the season among Russians is a 7-night cruise from Dubai along the Persian Gulf on the ultra-modern MSC Euribia, Costa Smeralda and Celestyal Journey liners.

Route (classic and unchanged):

Dubai → Doha (Qatar) → Manama (Bahrain) → Sir Bani Yas Island → Abu Dhabi → Dubai

Departures every Friday and Saturday from November to April inclusive.

Over the past two years, we have sent more than 4,700 people on the "Pearls of the Gulf" route — and 94% of them write: "We want to go again."

What captivates people most during a cruise:

Monday — you're still in Moscow.

Sunday — you're already sipping a cocktail on the balcony, while Dubai's skyscrapers sink into the sunset.

Tuesday — Doha and the most futuristic buildings in the world.

Wednesday — Bahrain, evening promenade and oysters with champagne.

Thursday — Sir Bani Yas Island: wild gazelles walk 10 metres from your sun lounger, and the water is +29 °C in January.

Friday — Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Ferrari World.

Saturday — shopping at Dubai Mall and flight back home.

In 7 days — 5 countries, 0 flights between them, 0 visas, 0 suitcases at airports.

On board:

- Breakfast on the open deck with a view of a new city every day

- In the evening — theatre, casino, live music or just lying in the jacuzzi under the stars

- Russian-speaking groups, guide and menu in Russian — feel at home, only with +30 degrees outside in December

The best part is the price.

An inside cabin starts at 35,000 ₽, a balcony cabin at 52,000 ₽ — that's cheaper than a week in a good hotel in Dubai, and 10 times more exciting.
