Resorts World Cruises has expanded its global reach into the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman with the luxury cruise ship Resorts World One.
Cruise travelers from India will soon have a whole new experience at sea.
Discover the cruise experience from India with a flight to Dubai and embark on a cruise adventure on Resorts World One, without the hassle of traditional travel, packing and unpacking or searching for accommodation in multiple destinations.
Resorts World One combines premium amenities with diverse culinary options, ensuring a luxurious lifestyle and leisure journey across the Arabian Gulf and beyond.
For the ultimate luxury experience, The Palace awaits, a private luxury suite shaped like a ship within a ship with an exclusive restaurant, sun terrace, gym and other amenities, including 24-hour European-style butler service.
Resorts World One will sail from Dubai from 18 October 2024 onwards, offering itineraries including a 2-night weekend cruise to Sir Bani Yas Island departing on a Friday; a 3-night Oman cruise to Khasab and Muscat departing on a Sunday; and a 2-night Doha cruise departing on a Wednesday.
Guests have the flexible option to combine two or all three excursions to extend the cruise length to four, five or seven nights.
Land excursions and on-board activities will allow passengers to immerse themselves in the rich cultural fabric of Dubai and the surrounding region, particularly Muscat, Khasab and Sir Bani Yas Island.
Visits to famous landmarks, heritage sites and shopping destinations will be part of the itinerary for tourists, while Bollywood DJs, bands, pajama parties, foam parties and movies will be among the other attractions on board.
“As Resorts World Cruises embarks on this special journey, we envision a fusion of cultures, where Indian travelers connect with the vibrant charm of the cities in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The launch of the Resorts World One cruise ship not only symbolizes building a bridge between countries, but also signifies limitless opportunities for travelers to explore, discover the region and create unforgettable memories.
“With easy access and regular air connectivity from India to Dubai, Indian travellers will also have more travel and holiday options to explore multiple destinations on a cruise holiday, paving the way for an exciting new era of cruise exploration,” said Naresh Rawal, Vice President, Sales (South Asia & Middle East), Resorts World Cruises.
Resorts World Cruises operates cruises with major ports in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indonesia.
With the launch of its home port in Dubai, Resorts World One is expected to make 75 visits to the region with 150,000 passengers during the six-month period, which will contribute significantly to the growth of cruise tourism in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
Resorts World One is expected to attract a new segment of cruise passengers from India, further diversifying the cruise market in the Arabian Gulf.
To cater to a diverse audience, certified vegetarian and Jain cuisine will also be available to cater to travellers from India and others who prefer specialised vegetarian options.
With the ship’s deployment in the Arabian Gulf, Muslim cruise passengers will constitute a significant market segment, and to cater to their needs, Resorts World One will also receive the OIC/SMIIC Halal Friendly Cruise Ship Standard certification, providing regional Muslim travelers with the convenience and access to halal-certified offerings on board.
All meat is sourced from halal suppliers in the UAE and no pork is served on board.
Guests can book appointments in advance to have same-sex crew members attend to guests for selected onboard services such as spa.
