By Sea

Cruises
The Queen Elizabeth II was one of the first cruise ships to dock at the luxury ship terminal in Dubai, which was opened in March 2001. It now is a hotel docked in Dubai.

The terminal is equipped to handle two ships simultaneously and its deep basin gives cruise lines the options of brining in larger ships, especially in winter when it is a great alternative to the normally congested Caribbean Islands.
