POSTED: 07 JULY 2011 Destination: Cruising the Middle East TAKE A CRUISE COMPANION FOR HALF PRICE* Book one of MSC Cruises’ new seven-night Arabian Peninsula cruises aboard MSC Lirica and your partner or travelling companion will need only to pay half price. With prices starting at $849 per person for the cruise, the second passenger sharing the cabin will only pay $535 (discount based on price before adjustment of port charges) —little more than $75 a night. The seven-night cruises from new embarkation port Abu Dhabi begin on 6 November 2011 and stretch until 4 March, with the deal applying to all seven-night bookings made before 31 August 31. Fascinating ports of call include Al Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Khasab and Muscat, both in Oman, with an exciting range of shore excursions to accompany each visit. Among the many options in Dubai, for example, are a sunset dhow cruise with shopping tour and a dune-drive safari. In Abu Dhabi guests can also venture on a dune safari or come “face to face” with falcons. One of the highlights on the cruise is the beauty of the port Khasab, interestingly known as the Norwegian Fjords of the region. There is a dhow cruise and shore excursion to the fjords during the stay in Khasab, along with an exhilarating safari drive to Jebel Harim, the “Mountain of Women” — at 2097m, the tallest peak on the Musandam Peninsula.
