Middle East Cruises
440 sailings from $484 per person — compared for you by a real consultant, not a checkout page.
Middle East itineraries loop Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Gulf — winter-sun cruising among skyscrapers, souks, and desert excursions, with some of the newest ships afloat based there seasonally.
Short flight-inclusive packages from Europe make this a popular add-on region, and U.S. travelers benefit from the same packaging.

Itineraries run from 2 to 30 nights. Shorter sailings suit first-timers and long weekends, while longer voyages reach ports the week-long loops skip.
When is the best time to take a Middle East cruise?
October through April; summer Gulf heat is genuinely prohibitive.
Which cruise lines sail Middle East itineraries?
Royal Caribbean International, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises all operate Middle East sailings in our current catalog, from family mega-ships to adults-only and luxury small ships. Which one fits you depends on budget, travel party, and how you like to spend sea days.
Why book a Middle East cruise by phone instead of online?
Gulf itineraries are sold heavily as fly-cruise bundles — a consultant checks whether the bundle or separate booking wins for your dates. Call Ticketing-Info and a licensed cruise consultant compares live fares, cabin categories, and current promotions for you — no online payment, nothing booked until you confirm.
