Luxury-seeking travelers from the region can anticipate a fresh maritime experience later this year as Resorts World Cruises plans to extend its international presence to the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman with Resorts World One (RW1). This boutique cruise ship, based in Singapore, will homeport in Dubai for a six-month period, offering a blend of premium facilities and varied dining choices.
Commencing November 1, RW1 will dock and set sail from Dubai, enabling regional travelers to embark on a sea adventure to renowned Gulf destinations. The cruise promises top-tier lifestyle and entertainment, halal-certified five-star dining, and a 24-hour butler service exclusive to The Palace, an onboard private club featuring all-suite accommodations.
The cruise itineraries feature a two-night Sir Bani Yas Weekend Cruise departing Fridays, a three-night Oman Cruise to Khasab and Muscat on Sundays, and a two-night Doha Cruise on Wednesdays. Guests have the flexibility to combine these itineraries for extended cruises ranging from four to seven nights.
Michael Goh, President of Resorts World Cruises, announced an introductory fare starting at $150 per person, covering up to five meals, world-class entertainment, and various recreational activities. RW1 is projected to make 75 visits in the region, carrying 150,000 passengers over the six-month deployment, significantly boosting cruise tourism in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
