Premium Luxury Cruise With Veg & Non Veg Starter(snacks) Only & Soft Drinks

Premium Cruise in Dubai Marina with Veg & Non-Veg Starters

This is our in-between option. You get the comfortable premium cruise boat, the music and the two hours on Dubai Marina, but instead of a full buffet we serve a plate of veg and non-veg starters with soft drinks. It is ideal if you have plans for dinner elsewhere, you are not a big eater, or you simply want a nice evening on the water at AED 59 per person.

Guests often book it as a pre-dinner outing before heading to a restaurant on Marina Walk or JBR, or as an easy evening out with friends after a long day of sightseeing.

What to expect on board

Check in at the gate around 7:30 PM and our crew will show you on board. Boarding opens at 8:00 PM, and the boat leaves the harbour at 8:30 PM for a slow loop of Dubai Marina.

Starters are served once you are under way. There is a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian bites, so everyone in the group has something to enjoy, along with soft drinks. Music plays throughout the cruise and there is onboard entertainment, while outside the Marina towers, Marina Walk and the moored yachts light up the water.

You are back at the harbour by around 10:30 PM, which still leaves plenty of time for dinner or a walk along the promenade.
