“The luxury dhow is worth every dirham. Smaller crowd, better food, and the open deck at night with the Marina lights is unforgettable. Booking on WhatsApp took two minutes.”
Luxury Dhow Cruise in Dubai Marina
Luxury dhow dinner cruise in Dubai Marina with VIP upper deck, premium buffet and live entertainment. Sailing 8:30 PM - 10:30 PM. AED 149. Child AED 75.
The luxury dhow cruise is the premium way to do Dubai Marina by night. You board through a VIP lounge at Marina Mall Pier 7, take a reserved table on the upper deck, and sail from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM with a chef-led premium buffet, welcome mocktails and live entertainment. Pricing is AED 149 per adult and AED 75 per child.
The difference from the standard cruise is felt immediately: fewer guests per sailing, lounge-style reserved seating instead of open tables, proper table service for drinks, and a buffet with a live cooking station, extended hot dishes and a dedicated dessert spread. The vessel itself is the newest in the fleet, with a polished wooden finish and a purpose-built stage for the evening's shows.
Luxury inclusions
- VIP lounge boarding — priority check-in with welcome mocktails from 7:45 PM
- Reserved upper-deck tables — lounge seating with the best views, no scramble for seats
- Premium buffet — live grill, extended hot and cold selection, desserts, fresh juices
- Live entertainment — Tanoura show plus live music on most evenings
The luxury sailing follows the full Marina route — canal, Cayan Tower, JBR, Ain Dubai and the open-water turn — with the captain slowing at the scenic points so the VIP deck gets uninterrupted photography. It is the natural choice for honeymoons, anniversaries and hosting important guests.
