Glass Cruise In Dubai Marina With Dinner & Entertainment Shows

Glass Cruise in Dubai Marina with Dinner & Entertainment

If you want a proper dinner cruise in Dubai Marina without spending a fortune, the Glass Cruise is the one most of our guests pick. The boat is built for views, with large glass panels around the dining deck, so you can watch the towers and yachts go by from your table while you eat.

The evening is simple and well paced. You board at Dubai Marina Harbour, get a welcome drink, and settle in as the boat heads out through the Marina. Dinner is an international buffet with plenty for vegetarians and meat eaters, the soft drinks are unlimited, and halfway through the cruise the Tanoura dancer takes the floor. It is a relaxed, family-friendly night out and very good value at AED 75 per adult.

Cruising and dinner. The boat sails through the Marina while the buffet opens. Expect a spread of Arabic and international dishes, salads, rice, grilled items, vegetarian options and desserts, with unlimited soft drinks and water. You can see a sample menu here.
