The world of cruising, for the Middle East

The sea, taken slowly.

Ocean, river and luxury sea journeys worldwide, booked from the Middle East. Cabins on ships we have walked ourselves, the visa position for your passport before you pay, and one planner on your file from the first question to the gangway.

Ocean, all-suite

An invitation to the ocean

Explora Journeys' current fares, with the savings the line is running this season passed on in full. Ocean Terrace suites and Penthouses, most drinks and dining in the fare.

River

A week that moves at walking pace

Danube, Rhine, Douro. A-ROSA, Amadeus and nicko boats of 150 to 280 guests, the bakery two minutes from the gangway. The one we recommend to people who say they don't like cruises.

See the river lines

Ambiente has planned quiet European travel for twelve years. Cruise24 is the same idea, at sea.

Suites

A room that changes its view every morning

Inside, oceanview, balcony, suite. The cheapest available cabin is not always the inside one. We check every category before we quote, not just the lead-in.

Dining

Nine restaurants, or three, or one very good one

Main dining is always in the fare. Speciality restaurants are extra on most lines and worth it about half the time. We tell you which half, for your ship.

Wellness

Sea days are for the thermal suite

Thermal passes sell out before the ship does. If it matters to you, we book it at the same time as the cabin.

What the fare includes

Depends on the line. Here is the honest version.

On Explora Journeys almost everything is in the fare, which is why the number looks high. On MSC, Celestyal and AROYA the fare is the start and drinks, Wi‑Fi and the service charge come on top. We quote the all-in figure for whichever ship you choose.
