Arrive at least three hours prior to the departure of the cruise to complete your boarding procedures. The cruise is scheduled to set sail at 9:00 PM.
Khasab - Oman
The scheduled time of arrival at Khasab is 9:00AM in the morning.

Khasab, is also known as the Top of the Emirates, a play of words to define its position – it’s the most “northern” city in the Emirates.

Here the cruise proceeds into the Musandam, the longest and most famous fjord of these coasts also known as “Norway of Arabia.”

During your visit to Oman, you can choose an excursion to Telegraph Island, the historic island in which, in the middle of the 19th century, the British built an intermediate station of the telegraph that connected Bombay to Bharain. Or you can visit the town of Bukha with its two beautiful forts built in the Portuguese period: Fort Bukha, perfectly preserved with its uninterrupted crown of rounded merlons and Fort Al Qala, with its fairfaced stone walls.

Ship Departs at 06:00PM
Muscat, Oman
The scheduled time of arrival at Muscat is 8:00AM in the morning.

Stepping ashore in Oman’s capital Muscat, when your MSC cruise takes you to the Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sir Bani Yas, means stepping into one of the oldest cities of the Middle East.

Its commercial vocation is due to its proximity to the large port, where your MSC ship, which is named after its sovereign Qabus, will be waiting for you. Dedicate part of your vacation to Muscat to visit the sites, like the fish market, the Portuguese fort and Muttrah’s Souq, one of cruisers’ favorite destinations.

Muttrah, the historic center of trade and activity of the capital that you will see during your cruise, is one of the most intriguing and well-preserved parts of the town center.

An enchanting stop on this MSC Cruise to the Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sir Bani Yas is Sir Bani Yas Island.

It has nothing to do with the hyper-technological progress which you will admire on your trip to the capital, Abu Dhabi.

On Sir Bani Yas, everyone can enjoy the beach experience of their dreams, from enjoying a delicious barbecue lunch, a range entertainment options, exciting sports on offer or safaris in the wild like no other between the mangroves, the desert and the protected bay areas.

Ship departs at 05:00PM
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The ship will reach Dubai port by 09:00 am.

A shore excursion on your MSC Emirates and Oman cruise can be the opportunity to discover the best of Dubai. Bur Dubai, at the heart of the metropolis of Dubai, on the south side of the breezy Creek, is the oldest part of Dubai and it offers a fascinating insight into the city’s traditional roots.

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sir Bani Yas cruises also offer excursions to the bustling district of Deira: the center of Dubai’s traditional commercial activity, much of it still conducted in the area’s vibrant array of old-fashioned souks, including the famous gold and spice markets. A few miles south of the old city center, modern Dubai begins in spectacular style with Sheikh Zayed Road, home to a neck-cricking array of skyscrapers including the glittering Emirates Towers.

Even these, however, are outshone by the massive Downtown Dubai development at the southern end of the strip, centered on the stupendous new Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, flanked by further record-breaking attractions including the gargantuan Dubai Mall and spectacular Dubai Fountain.

West of the Sheikh Zayed Road, the sprawling beachside suburb of Jumeirah is the traditional address-of-choice for Dubai’s European expats, its endless swathes of walled villas dotted with half a dozen shopping malls and a smattering of low-key sights. At the southern end of Jumeirah, there are more iconic sights in the sleepy suburb of Umm Suqeim, including the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the extraordinary mock-Arabian Madinat Jumeirah complex and the unforgettable Burj al Arab hotel.
