If you want to enjoy night-time views of Dubai in style you have a few options: you can head to one of the amazing rooftop bars for a drink, book a hotel room overlooking Dubai Marina, or indulge in a sumptuous dinner cruise. Dinner cruises are a popular form of entertainment for both tourists and locals in Dubai, and for a good reason: they let you enjoy a great meal with a view that changes every minute. With so many options available it might be hard to choose just one so I prepared a breakdown of different dinner cruises for you.

What to expect?
Choose a sunset or later evening cruise on booking, and travel independently to the departure pier at Dubai Marina. Step out along the red carpet onto the prettily lit, glass houseboat. With an upper, open-air deck and lower, glass-enclosed deck—the plush, spacious boat is perfectly designed for relaxing over dinner and soaking in the views. Sip a welcome drink, and admire the skyscrapers around the marina, either as their lights switch on at sunset, or they’re fully illuminated against the night sky. Then, enjoy the pleasant breezes as your boat sails along the marina, passing landmarks, and then take in the stunning panoramas of the Burj Al Arab hotel, the new Blue waters Island, and the city skyline before turning back. Along the way, savor a delicious buffet dinner of international dishes alongside sodas, juices, water, tea, and coffee. See the Itinerary for a sample menu.

Your experience then ends when you leave the boat.
