Resorts World Cruises has officially introduced the Resorts World One in the Gulf region of the Middle East. Starting from November 1, the Resorts World One will be based in Dubai at DP World’s Mina Port Rashid, offering three weekly departures. These include the 2 Night Sir Bani Yas Weekend Cruise (departing on Fridays), the 3 Night Oman (Khasab-Muscat) Cruise (departing on Sundays), and the 2 Night Doha Cruise (departing on Wednesdays). For those seeking a longer cruise experience, passengers can combine any of these itineraries to create a 4, 5, or 7 Night Cruise. The Resorts World One will be awarded the official OIC/SMIIC* Standard Halal-Friendly Cruise Ship certification upon its inaugural sailing from Dubai. Additionally, certified vegetarian and Jain cuisine options will be available. Onboard announcements will be made in both English and Arabic.

“These are thrilling times for Resorts World Cruises as we approach the launch of our first voyage from Dubai to the Gulf with the Resorts World One on November 1,” said Michael Goh, President of Resorts World Cruises. “The response from the Gulf region and various markets in Asia, including our travel partners, has been highly encouraging, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming guests aboard soon.” He further added, “Our presence in the Gulf will open new avenues for Dubai and the Gulf region as a premier cruise destination. We look forward to this journey together, enhancing both inbound and outbound travel for the cruise tourism sector.”

Saud Mohammed Saeed Hareb, Cruise Tourism & Yachting Lead at the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, stated: “Inspired by our visionary leadership and supported by our partners, cruise tourism continues to be a cornerstone in the growth of Dubai’s tourism industry, aligning with the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, to solidify Dubai’s status as a global leader in business and leisure. This strategic partnership with Resorts World Cruises underscores our dedication to offering increasingly diverse cruise experiences in our city, reinforcing Dubai’s position as the region’s cruise hub. We appreciate the cruise line’s efforts in fully understanding the market’s needs and providing a comprehensive world-class holiday for travelers from the region and beyond. We eagerly await the arrival of the first passengers on the Resorts World One, offering them an unforgettable experience, especially in Dubai where their cruise journeys will begin and end, allowing them to enjoy the city’s extensive offerings.”
