Cruise Route

Dining & Entertainment
Dining and entertainment follow whichever cruise you combine the transfer with — international buffet, live BBQ, Tanoura show, and unlimited soft drinks on the standard dinner sailing, or the premium spread on the luxury sailing. The transfer itself is just comfortable, air-conditioned transport with an experienced driver.
Who It's For
First-time visitors unfamiliar with Dubai Marina, families who prefer not to navigate parking or metro at night, elderly guests, and groups staying in Deira, Bur Dubai, or Sharjah. If you are staying near the Marina or JBR, the boarding point is a short taxi ride away and you may not need the transfer.
On the day of your cruise, keep your phone nearby: the driver confirms the pickup by WhatsApp, and shared-transfer guests receive their exact time the evening before. Have your hotel name and a location pin ready when you book so routing is smooth. If your plans change, tell us at least 24 hours ahead and we will adjust the pickup free of charge. Guests staying in Dubai Marina or JBR are often close enough to reach the boarding point by taxi in minutes, in which case the cruise ticket alone is all you need.
