The Premium Dhow Cruise Marina is the richest dhow dinner in our Marina range. You still get a two-hour sailing through the marina, but with a 5-star buffet that includes a live cooking station, plus a belly dance show and free-flowing soft drinks.
The premium marina sailing has check-in at 20:00 and cruising from 20:30 to 22:30. Once on board you can enjoy the air-conditioned lower deck or the open-air upper deck while the marina towers and JBR waterfront slide by. The buffet mixes continental and Arabic dishes, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, and soft music and entertainment run throughout.
This is the package for celebrations, date nights and visitors who want the best food a Marina dhow can offer. It stands apart from the Dinner Cruise and Economy tickets through the live station and the belly dance, which add theatre to the evening.
The 5-star dhow includes soft drinks or house drinks depending on the date, so ask our team on WhatsApp and we will confirm exactly which drinks are included for your booking. Hotel pickup and drop-off can be added at booking, and smart casual dress is recommended.
Planning tips: Dubai Marina is busy in the evening, so allow extra time for traffic and parking, or take the metro or a taxi to the Marina Walk area. Arrive early with your voucher and ID, wear smart casual clothes, and take a light layer for the open upper deck, which can be breezy after dark. Hotel pickup and drop-off can be added when you book, and you can message the team on WhatsApp to confirm the exact pier and boarding time for your date.
