The Ocean Empress is a luxurious, 2-hour dinner cruise on the world’s largest traditional boat in Dubai, offering panoramic views of landmarks like the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina.
This premium dhow-style cruise sets sail from Dubai Marina for around 2 to 2.5 hours, offering a lavish buffet dinner, soft drinks (and alcohol on select packages), live entertainment like DJs, dancers, or performers, all against the backdrop of the illuminated Dubai skyline—think Marina, JBR, Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Harbour on display.
Boarding typically begins around 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Pier 7, adjacent to Dubai Marina Mall’s ferry station. The cruise departs sharply at 8:30 PM and returns around 10:30 PM.
Enjoy an expansive international buffet—Asian, Western, salads, desserts—with live cooking stations and even a RoboChef. Standard packages include soft drinks; premium or VIP packages offer unlimited alcoholic beverages.
Absolutely! The yacht accommodates all ages, including children (often with special child pricing). The buffet includes vegetarian options, and the atmosphere is safe and welcoming for families.
