Alexandra cruises follow the signature Dubai Marina loop, passing Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, Marina Mall, Cayan Tower, and the yacht-lined promenade.
Expect an international buffet with grills, salads, mains, desserts, and unlimited soft drinks. Vegetarian dishes are always included.
With the upper deck, you get open-air, panoramic skyline views. The lower deck lets you relax in air-conditioned dining hall with reserved tables.
