The Ocean Empress Top Deck with House Beverages ticket combines top-deck seating with a drinks upgrade. You board at 20:00 beside Silverene Tower in Dubai Marina and sail at 20:30 for two hours along the Marina and JBR waterfront toward Bluewaters Island and the Palm Jumeirah.
As well as the reserved top-deck table, the international and Asian buffet, live cooking stations and entertainment that every tier includes, this ticket adds unlimited house beverages. House beverages are the vessel's standard house pours, so the drinks are a step below the premium selection offered on the VIP ticket.
It suits couples and groups who want a proper evening out: a good position, a full dinner and drinks that flow without watching the bill. Soft drinks and mineral water are included too, so non-drinkers in your group are covered.
Remember that UAE rules apply, so guests need to be 21 or over to drink, and outside alcohol is not allowed. Hotel pickup is not included. If you want a VIP lounge check-in and premium drinks, upgrade to the VIP ticket.
Planning tips: the Ocean Empress boards beside Silverene Tower in Dubai Marina, close to the Marina Walk restaurants, so you can arrive a little early and have a coffee before check-in. Bring your voucher and a valid photo ID, wear smart casual clothes, and take a light layer for the open decks. Metro, taxi and your own car all work for reaching the marina; hotel pickup is not included, so plan your return journey as well because the cruise finishes around 22:30.
