About This Cruise
The 8 Night A Journey of Arabian Marvels & Sumptuous Souks is a 8-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Muscat and disembark in Jeddah, calling at 3 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Oman (Muscat, Salalah) and Saudi Arabia (Jeddah).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Muscat and home from Jeddah, 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.
