Bustling souks, ancient forts, stunning desert landscapes and silvery beaches are all yours to discover on a cruise around the Arabian Peninsula. The vibrant contrasts here are unsurpassed in any other area of the globe as east meets west and ancient meets modern in these rich and varied lands. Ultra-modern hotels shimmer on the edge of a desert that is still home to the traditional Bedouin way of life; ancient bazaars sit alongside 21st century shopping malls; and the archaeological remains of ancient civilisations co-exist with the futuristic skyscrapers of modern-day cities. We offer a huge range of cruises: take in the sights of the Holy Land before cruising through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden; discover the pearls of Arabia on a one or two-week voyage through the Persian Gulf taking in Oman and the United Arab Emirates; or make the 6 or 7 week journey from Barcelona, Monte Carlo or Rome to Dubai and then onwards into the Indian Ocean and beyond – the perfect holiday awaits.
