While our cruise is housed in a sleek modern glass yacht, we stay true to the roots of traditional Arabian hospitality. From the subtle fragrance of oud welcoming, you aboard to curated music that blends contemporary tunes with regional instruments, the cultural charm is unmistakable. Our buffet includes select Emirati dishes, and our staff wear elegant attire that pays homage to the heritage of the region.
