Fine dining and luxurious seven-star relaxation. Sandy beaches and opulent hotels. Historical villages and neighborhoods with ties to the fascinating Arabian culture. Incredible shopping opportunities at lavish malls. One of the more exotic cruise destinations, Dubai is one of the seven territories of the United Arab Emirates, located in the Middle East. Once an underdeveloped trading and fishing town, Dubai is now a vibrant downtown megacity with breathtaking resorts, towering skyscrapers, and a thriving nightclub scene.
Among the many things that you may be able to do while on a Dubai/Emirates cruise are visiting historical villages and museums, enjoying the tasty local cuisine in a downtown café, shopping in the many incredible malls (including the largest shopping center in the world), paying a visit to grand mosques and churches, and visiting oasis-like modern cities such as Muscat and Abu Dhabi. It is important to note the conservative nature of the Middle East when preparing for a Dubai/Emirates cruise (for example, long sleeves and pants are required to visit places of worship and even in some shopping centers).
A Dubai/Emirates cruise is typically around 7- to 16-nights in length (depending on the particular cruise line), but can be longer. Included in some Dubai/Emirates cruise itineraries are ports of call in Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy or even ports in India, making for very nice cruise itineraries.
American Discount Vacations is proud to offer the best deals possible on all Dubai/Emirates cruises booked with us. Backed by our "Low Price Guarantee," and powered by our team of expert travel agents, we're sure to exceed your expectations when booking your next Dubai/Emirates cruise!

Escorted Tours
An escorted tour includes a professional guide, as opposed to being an independent (or self-guided) tour. Some escorted tour operators include a limited amount of time for guests to explore on their own, while others have tours that are completely escorted. Typically, just about your entire itinerary is included and planned for in an escorted tour package. You don't have to worry about what you're going to see and don't have to make reservations (for each component of the trip) with multiple tour operators - this option allows for you to just leave it to the professionals and enjoy yourself.
Depending on the tour operator, as well as on the specific tour, some tours are private (just you and your traveling companions, if you have any) while others are with other travelers that booked the same tour. In the latter case, some tour operators offer small groups (which tend to be more expensive, but also more intimate and exclusive) while some have larger groups that travel together (which provides a very social atmosphere, as you can meet many other people).
Learn More
Independent Travel
Also referred to as self-guided travel, independent travel gives you the freedom to do things at your own pace. You don't have a guide with you like you would on an escorted tour, but you can make your own schedule and choose your own itinerary.
This option is usually significantly less expensive than an escorted tour that includes similar components; however, cost and quality simply depends on the tour you select as both budget and luxury tour operators offer this type of travel.
