About This Cruise
The 7 Night A Journey through Arabian Opulence & Cultural Marvels of the Gulf is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Dammam and disembark in Dubai, calling at 9 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Saudi Arabia (Dammam), Qatar (Doha), United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ras Al-Khaimah, Dubai), Oman (Sur, Muscat), United Arab Emirates (Khor Fakkan), Oman (Khasab) and 1 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Dammam and home from Dubai, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
