Dubai Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean International announced the deployment of Serenade of the Seas to Dubai for its winter 2012-13 season. Serenade of the Seas will offer 17 sailings, departing every Monday on 7-night United Arab Emirates and Oman itineraries from December 2012 through April 2013.
Serenade of the Seas will replace Brilliance of the Seas and offer passengers a different Royal Caribbean International ship, aboard which guests can explore the cultures and heritage of the two Middle Eastern nations. Additionally, passengers can choose a Royal Caribbean cruise tour to explore and experience more inland attractions.
Passengers can choose the Arabian Explorer cruise tour itinerary, which combines a 4-night escorted land tour with Serenade of the Seas’ 7-night cruise. Destinations featured on the land tour will be Dubai, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah, where guests can enjoy “dune bashing;” savor dinner and entertainment at a Bedouin desert camp and visit the Hili Archaeological Gardens and the Ali Ain National Museum.
Serenade of the Seas’ 7-night itinerary also calls at Fujairah and Abu Dhabi in the U.A.E and features overnight stays in Muscat, Oman and Dubai at the conclusion of the cruise. Passengers can also choose a 15-night Mediterranean and Suez Canal transit cruise, departing 2nd December, 2012, from Malaga, Spain, to Dubai and a 15-night return to Barcelona, departing 15th April, 2013.
