Cruise season & departure ports

The Gulf cruise season runs October to April. Outside that window most lines reposition to the Mediterranean. Dubai has two cruise terminals: Mina Rashid (the historic terminal, used by Costa and AIDA) and Port Rashid (newer, used by MSC). We arrange a private SUV transfer from any hotel in Dubai or Abu Dhabi to the right terminal, included in the quote.
