MSC Euribia

Bookings are now open for MSC Cruises’ Arabian Gulf sailings aboard MSC Euribia, which will homeport in Dubai from 8 November 2025 through 1 April 2026.

Marking its return to the Gulf after a short break, MSC Cruises said it is “seeing growing demand from GCC travellers looking for a luxurious and effortless way to rediscover the beauty of their own region”.

The season’s programme features a mix of three- and four-night mini cruises alongside seven-night voyages across the GCC.

Highlights include calls at Abu Dhabi, home to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — recently ranked the world’s eighth top tourist destination in 2025 — and the Yas Marina Formula 1 track, as well as Sir Bani Yas Island, known for wildlife encounters and water activities.

Guests will also visit Doha, where tradition meets modern design, Manama with its souks and cultural heritage, and Muscat, famed for dramatic coastal scenery and historic forts.

On board, MSC Euribia features the line’s signature MSC Yacht Club, a ship-within-a-ship concept offering regional guests an elevated experience complete with 24-hour butler and concierge service, private dining, a dedicated lounge and an exclusive sundeck with its own pool, grill restaurant and bar.

Guests can also enjoy the ship’s wider amenities including five pools and the Ocean Cay AquaPark — one of the largest at sea and home to three waterslides.

Families are catered for with 700 square metres of kids’ facilities, while dining spans 10 venues and 21 bars and lounges.

Highlights include speciality outlets such as Le Grill, blending French bistro and steakhouse concepts, and Kaito Sushi & Robatayaki, a longstanding MSC favourite.

Entertainment is led by the Delphi Theatre, hosting nightly productions as part of a full seven-day programme of live shows.

Commenting on the deployment, Angelo Capurro, Executive Director of MSC Cruises, said: “The MSC Yacht Club is one of our most highly regarded products, loved by guests for its outstanding level of service, elegant spaces and exclusive facilities, so we are proud to be bringing this to the Gulf.”

More cruise lines are adding Middle East ports to their itineraries as cruise tourism in the region is on the rise and set to be further accelerated by Connections Cruise Arabia. The game-changing annual event, launching 18 September 2025, will bring together senior cruise leaders and stakeholders to shape the future of the sector in the region.
