Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 3 countries over 7 nights, beginning and ending in Abu Dhabi, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 5 port days and 2 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise
The 7 Night Dubai & Middle East is a 7-night round-trip itinerary aboard MSC World Europa. You board and return in Abu Dhabi, calling at 5 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi), Bahrain (Khalifa Bin Salman), Qatar (Doha) and United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Sir Bani Yas, Abu Dhabi).
Because it's round-trip from Abu Dhabi, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
