Cruises from Dubai
The cruise port, how far it is from the airport and the centre, and where sailings are sold.
The cruise port is Port Rashid: Hamdan bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal. The nearest large airport, Dubai International Airport (DXB), is 20 km (12 mi) from the city centre, so allow for that transfer on embarkation day.
Where to find sailings
We take no bookings for these providers and hold no reservation with them. The provider you choose handles payment, confirmation, changes and refunds. How that works.
