Hi Does anyone know why most cruise ships don't go the the Dubai region in October?

Temperature?

 

On your next post, you might want to give it a relevent title. You will get more answers that way.

Some lines do

They usually are repositioning to Asia, Australia, NZ or returning to N.A.

Heat is probably a major factor. According to my DS, who just spent 25 months in Bahrain (courtesy of the USN), the only time you can count on not having "black flag" (>100 F) conditions is the dead of winter. And that's when most of the Dubai cruises are scheduled (at least on RCCL ships). :cool:

Most of the North American based cruise ship companies start moving thier ships back from the Med.area back to North America around that time so that eliminates them.

Last October we were on a Princess cruise from Rome to Sydney that stopped in Omon and Dubai at the end of October - the weather was not as hot as excepted - around 90f

Have you checked Costa and MSC? They keep ships in the Med over winter, so might still be doing a Dubai itinerary.

Jo.

I'm on a B2B cruise on the Celebrity Solstice. Cruise one goes from Barcelona to Dubai and cruise two goes from Dubai to Singapore. The Solstice departs Barcelona to Dubai on October 25.
