Shared dinner cruises with Marina Cruise Dubai start from AED 75 per adult and AED 70 per child (ages 4–11) on the Marina Cruise Dubai dhow. The glass-roofed Crystal Deck Dinner is AED 100 (child AED 90), the Royal Upper Deck VIP experience is AED 185 (child AED 130), and a private yacht charter is AED 650 per hour (minimum 2 hours). Children aged 0–3 sail free. ### How long is the dinner cruise and when does it start? Every dinner cruise lasts about 2 hours. Boarding opens 30 minutes before departure. The Marina Cruise Dubai dhow sails at 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm, the Crystal Deck Dinner at 8:00 pm and 10:30 pm, and the Royal Upper Deck at 8:00 pm. Please arrive at the pier at least 20 minutes early. ### Where do I board the cruise? All cruises depart from Dubai Marina Walk. The exact pier number and boarding gate are sent with your booking confirmation by email. The nearest metro stations are DMCC and Sobha Realty, and the Dubai Marina tram stops are a short walk away. ### Do I have to pay the full amount online? No. There is nothing to pay online. Send your booking through the form on this page, we confirm your seats by email, and you pay at the pier before boarding — in cash or by card. ### What is included in the dinner cruise? Every shared cruise includes the 2-hour sail through Dubai Marina, an international halal buffet dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, soft drinks and water, live entertainment with a Tanoura dance and a puppet show, and views of the Marina towers, JBR and Ain Dubai. The VIP and private options add reserved seating and premium menus. ### Is the food halal and are there vegetarian options? Yes. The buffet is fully halal, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Let us know about allergies or vegan needs in the booking notes and the kitchen team will prepare accordingly. ### Can I cancel or change my booking? Free cancellation or date change is available up to 24 hours before departure. Deposits for cancellations inside 24 hours are non-refundable. If a cruise is cancelled because of weather or port authority instructions, you can choose a new date or a full refund. ### Is the Marina cruise suitable for children and birthdays? Yes. Families are welcome, children under 4 sail free, and we can arrange a birthday cake, balloons or a proposal setup on request — mention it in your booking notes or book the Private Yacht Charter for a fully personalised evening. ### Do you also offer desert safari and city tours?

Besides the Marina cruises we arrange four tours with hotel pickup in Dubai: Desert Safari Dubai (from AED 100 per person, about 6 hours), Abu Dhabi City Tour (from AED 150 per person, about 9 hours), Dubai City Tour (from AED 120 per person, about 5 hours) and Fujairah City Tour (price on request, full day).

Marina guide ## Why a cruise is the best way to _see Dubai Marina_ Dubai Marina is a three-kilometre man-made canal lined with around two hundred towers, running from the Sheikh Zayed Road side all the way out to the Arabian Gulf at JBR. From the promenade you only ever see one bank at a time. From the water you see both — the lit towers rise on either side and double in the reflection, which is why an evening cruise is the view most visitors remember. A typical Marina dinner cruise leaves Marina Walk after sunset, sails the length of the canal, passes under the Marina bridges and loops near the harbour mouth, where Bluewaters Island and the Ain Dubai wheel come into view. The water inside the Marina is calm, so even guests who worry about sea-sickness are comfortable. ### Choosing the right cruise - **[Wooden dhow](https://marinacruisedubai.com/cruises/dhow-dinner-cruise/)** — the traditional Arabian boat; open-air upper deck, relaxed and family friendly. - **[Glass-roofed boat](https://marinacruisedubai.com/cruises/glass-boat-dinner-cruise/)** — fully air-conditioned with panoramic windows; ideal in the hot summer months. - **[VIP upper deck](https://marinacruisedubai.com/cruises/vip-upper-deck-cruise/)** — reserved tables, a quieter crowd and a better menu for couples and celebrations. - **[Private yacht](https://marinacruisedubai.com/cruises/private-yacht-charter/)** — only your group on board; choose the hours, the route and the music. ### When to go October to April brings cool evenings around 20–28°C, perfect for the open deck. From May to September, pick the air-conditioned glass boat or a later 10:30 pm departure. Weekends (Friday and Saturday) sell out first, so reserve a few days ahead — with Marina Cruise Dubai you can reserve online in two minutes and pay at the pier. Want the month-by-month detail?
