Vaccinated travellers are being invited to set sail from the UAE capital after the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) unveiled its latest cruise offerings.
Abu Dhabi is building a global reputation for cruise tourism as leading cruise liner companies such as AIDA, Costa, MSC and Tui are among more than 100 cruise ships scheduled to call at the cruise terminals in Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi and Sir Bani Yas Island this season.
The facilities are owned and operated by AD Ports Group, the region’s premier facilitator of maritime industry and trade.
At the annual Seatrade conference, DCT Abu Dhabi representatives, in partnership with AD Ports Groups and Tourism365, outlined the latest cruise offerings and explained why tourists should choose the emirate for their next seafaring adventure.
