Pro tips to know before booking your Dubai Cruises 

  • The Dubai Cruises set sail from three main locations: The Dubai Marina, Dubai Creek, and the Dubai Canal. You can choose from one of these locations for your cruise. 
  • All the cruises, except for the Abra Rides, include a full meal for lunch and dinner. They also include live entertainment in the form of dance or music and sometimes even both. 
  • When choosing a cruise, cost is one of the most important factors to consider. We offer some of the best prices online with discounts that go up to 50%. 
  • The cruises that depart from the Canal are more expensive (starting from AED200), compared to the ones that depart from the Creek (starting from AED 60) or the Dubai Marina (starting from AED120). 
  • The Canal Cruise gives you a view of the Burj Khalifa up close, the Dubai Opera House, and you can sail under the Sheikh Zayed Bridge. The main attraction of the Dubai Canal Cruise is the IMAGINE show, the world’s largest waterscreen projection. This is a good option to splurge on if you want to impress your dinner companion, be it a business or a romantic one. 
  • The Marina Cruises are the most popular choice for many, locals and tourists alike, because of the great views of the Marina Skyscrapers, Twisted Tower inside the canal, Dubai Eye, Jumeirah Beach, and more. This is the perfect option for traveler groups like friends, families, and couples because of the variety of gourmet meals, entertainment, and views, all at an affordable price. 
  • The Dubai Creek Cruise is perhaps the most reasonably priced. You should choose this cruise if you are looking for some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of city life and serene views of the traditional Deira or old Dubai. 
  • Some cruises allow you to choose between the upper and lower deck. The upper deck is more expensive than the lower deck, and the lower deck is air-conditioned. If you purchase lower-deck tickets, you can still visit the upper deck for photos. 
  • You can upgrade your ticket with hotel transfers for just AED 30-40. This is a recommended option because if you book a cab or a metro, you will end up paying more. With the hotel transfers, you can also avoid the hassle of planning the commute.  Very few tour operators apart from us provide this option. 
  • The duration of the cruises is an average of 1.5-3 hours. So plan your day accordingly.

To ensure a pleasant Dubai Marina Cruise experience, consider the timing. During the cooler months, November to March, daytime cruises are ideal with temperatures around a comfortable 30°C.

If visiting during the hot summer, opt for an evening cruise to escape the midday sun and enjoy the cooler night air. No matter the season, book your tickets in advance, as cruises fill up faster on weekends.
