What is the difference between the Creek and Marina options?

The Dubai Creek cruise departs at 8:30 PM and sails through the city's historic waterway, flanked by traditional souks and older architecture. The Marina cruise departs at 9:00 PM and passes through Dubai's modern yacht-lined canal with views of the towering JBR and Marina skyline. Both last approximately two hours and include the same buffet and entertainment.

Is alcohol served on board?

A welcome drink is included. However, during Ramadan and on designated dry days, alcohol is not served in line with UAE government guidelines.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No — a mobile ticket is accepted. Simply show your booking confirmation on your phone at the boarding point.

Can children come on the cruise?

Yes, children are welcome. Those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

The dress code is elegant casual. Think smart trousers or a dress — beachwear and very casual clothing are not appropriate for this experience.

Are vegetarian meals available?

Yes. The buffet includes dedicated vegetarian dishes across all courses, including vegetable curry, Veg Manchurian, Hakka noodles, and vegetarian starters.
