Cruise Ships for Middle East Trips

The Brilliance of the Seas is one of the cruise ships offering Middle East trips, including a 16 day route from the UAE to Spain. This ship spends 9 of those 16 days at sea, which is a record for the operator Royal Caribbean. Egypt was canceled on this route due to the political unrest, although it still made the Suez Canal transit.
The cancellation of the Egypt port stop led to a wave of guest cancellations just weeks prior to sailing, and consequently prices plummeted for those willing to risk the trip. This cruise is like three holidays for the price of one. Guests get a taste of different Middle Eastern destinations, including Dubai, Muscat and Abu Dhabi, while also experiencing an ocean voyage with many days at sea.
