Middle East Cruise

Hi

I am looking at 10 day cruise from Dubai. Looking at the itinerary i see the cruise has embarkation over 2 days, does this mean 2 nights in Dubai at the end of the cruise or a night before and night after cruise depending on date??

We are on Oceana's repositioning cruise from Dubai to Malta next spring which also offers 2 embarkation dates, it's actually advertised as either 13 or 14 nights. The option is either a night on board in Dubai or embarking and sail the same day. Hope this helps, although it may not of course work the same for the cruise you're looking at.

If it's the same as the cruise I've booked on Oceana out of Dubai then it's an overnight flight out from the UK where you embark the ship the next day. You then either sail that day and overnight in Dubai at the end of the cruise where you fly home on a daytime flight or you overnight on the ship upon embarkation, sailing the following day, and fly straight home the day you arrive back in Dubai.

 

The former appealed to me as it provides one whole un-interupted day in Dubai on your last full cruise day.

Yes that's what i thought. Its better to have the full day at the end of the cruise.
