Royal Caribbean International has a total of 25 innovative ships, and five on order, it cruises to 272 different destinations across the globe on six different continents. Royal Caribbean International offers adventure-seeking guests an affordable way to travel in luxury whilst exploring some of the world’s most fascinating ports.

From island hopping through the Caribbean to discovering the historic culture of the Mediterranean, immersing in the exotic mystery of the Far East or experiencing the iconic architecture down under, Royal Caribbean International offers the chance to visit multiple destinations over a relatively short period, which would be unachievable through standard vacations.

What’s more, the ships are destinations in themselves.

“Royal Caribbean International operates the world’s largest cruise ships, including ‘Allure of the Seas’, ‘Oasis of the Seas’, ‘Quantum of the Seas’ and ‘Anthem of the Seas’, which can carry a combined total of 22,402 guests, whilst providing them with a wide range of on board amenities not seen on any other cruise liner today,” says Mohamed Saeed, general manager – Middle East, Royal Caribbean Arabia, the sole Middle East representative for Royal Caribbean International and Azamara Club Cruises.

“Our Royal AdvantageSM ensures that we deliver a personalised service whilst offering innovative experiences for a vacation that is so much more than just a cruise,” Saeed adds.

“There’s nothing to do now” is one thing you will never hear on board Royal Caribbean Cruises, such is the diversity of the activity and entertainment offerings. Whether you sail on the new ‘Quantum Class’ ships or any other, a wealth of opportunity beckons.

Royal Caribbean entertainment on-board

If you’re an adrenalin junkie or prefer a somewhat slower pace on your travels, there’s something for everyone, ensuring that no two days are the same.

Visit SeaplexSM and have a ride on the first-ever dodgem cars at sea before you experience the sheer thrill of flying with RipCord by iFLY® sky-diving simulator on the new ‘Ovation of the Seas’.

Those with a head for heights can enjoy a birds-eye view whilst whizzing across the zip line nine decks high on board ‘Harmony of the SeasSM’, or if you prefer something a little less active, relax and rejuvenate at VitalitySM Spa available on each and every Royal Caribbean International vessel.

Royal Caribbean dining

Royal Caribbean cruises are also known for their excellence in gastronomy and with all-inclusive packages alongside specialty restaurants from renowned chefs such as Jamie Oliver, you can enjoy flexible, dynamic dining whatever your culinary preference.

So, for a holiday that all the family can enjoy or a romantic break of exploration, award-winning Royal Caribbean offers endless possibilities for seeing the world in style.

Royal Caribbean Middle East cruises

Royal Caribbean will be returning to the Middle East for the 2019/2020 cruise season with its Radiance-class cruise ship Jewel of the Seas. She’ll be cruising round-trip out of Dubai in the Arabian Gulf on 7-night cruises that will alternate between the eastern and western Arabian Gulf.

On the eastward itineraries, she’ll depart Dubai and visit Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas Island, and Muscat, before cruising back to Dubai. At the beginning and end of the cruise she’ll also spend a full overnight in Dubai.

The western itinerary will cruise from Dubai to Bahrain, Doha, Qatar and Sir Bani Yas Island before calling in Abu Dhabi. She’ll then end the cruise in Dubai, staying overnight.
