Affordable family cruising with free admission for the youngest guests
Children under 3 years of age cruise for free on all dhow cruise and yacht packages. Baby chairs are available on request at no extra charge. Simply mention the number of infants when booking so we can prepare seating arrangements.
Children aged 3 to 11 years receive discounted ticket prices on all cruise packages. The exact discount varies by package but typically represents a significant saving compared to adult rates. Full buffet access and entertainment included.
Guests aged 12 years and above are charged the standard adult rate. All inclusions are identical for adult and child tickets — the same buffet, entertainment, seating, and service quality. The cruise experience is enjoyable for all ages.
We offer attractive group discounts for parties of 10 or more guests on all dhow cruise packages. Whether you are organizing a corporate team-building event, a school trip, a family reunion, a wedding party, or a large group of friends, our group rates provide excellent value for money.
The group discount percentage varies depending on the cruise package selected and the time of year. During peak season (October to April), group discounts are typically more modest due to high demand, while summer months (May to September) often feature the most generous group pricing. For corporate groups, we also offer customized packages that can include private charter options, branded decorations, and tailored entertainment.
To receive a customized group quote, contact our team via WhatsApp at +971 52 440 9525 or email [email protected] with your group size, preferred date, and cruise package. We will respond with a detailed quote within hours, including any applicable seasonal promotions.
Understanding seasonal pricing patterns can help you get the best dhow cruise Dubai price for your visit. Dubai’s tourism seasons have a significant impact on cruise pricing and availability.
This is Dubai’s main tourist season, with pleasant weather attracting millions of visitors from around the world. Dhow cruise prices during this period are at their standard published rates. Weekends (Friday and Saturday) and public holidays such as UAE National Day, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Eid are the busiest times, and advance booking is essential. During the Dubai Shopping Festival (December-January), special promotional packages may be available but sell out quickly.
The summer months see fewer tourists due to high daytime temperatures, which means better availability and often promotional pricing. Many cruise operators, including ourselves, offer summer specials and discounted rates during this period. The air-conditioned lower deck ensures a comfortable experience regardless of the outdoor temperature. If you are visiting Dubai during summer and looking for the most competitive dhow cruise price, this is the best time to book. Contact us via WhatsApp to check current summer promotions.
Special dates such as New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, and major Eid celebrations may have premium pricing due to extraordinary demand. These dates also feature special entertainment and decorations. Early booking (2-4 weeks in advance) is strongly recommended for holiday cruises. Our marina cruise page has details on seasonal schedules.
