Danat Dubai Dinner Cruise

There are many romantic dinner cruises operating daily in Dubai creek. Usually they are of two hours duration from 8 - 10 p.m. Guests are welcomed on board with hot towel and welcome drinks.

There is live commentary by captain who usually gives information about Dubai. Dinner is served in buffet style. Unlimited alcoholic and other drinks are also served. You can enjoy views of city from open air upper deck. Many people like to take photographs while other just enjoy the views of Dubai at night time.

The trip starts from Bur Dubai side of the creek crossing Rashid Al Makhtoom bridge and entering Deira. Cost per person for two hour cruise usually ranges between AED 125 ($ 35) and AED 250 ($ 70 appox) . Some cruisers also cover Arabian gulf apart from Dubai Creek.

One of them is "Danat Dubai Cruises". They have got this nice three story cruiser with nice restaurant and large open air seating n dinning facility. Their crew is very friendly but i did not liked their food despite the fact it was from Renaissance Dubai Hotel which is a five star hotel and member of Marriott hotels chain.

Their charges were AED 125 ( $ 35 appox ) per person but special discounts were available for groups and families. After ride of creek they took us to Arabian gulf and that too quite far away from city. The worst part started when suddenly there was sea storm and cruiser was shaking badly. All of their buffet items also fell down. Most of people got fainted. Kids and ladies were crying so they were ordered to go inside the restaurant.

Captain was talented enough that he managed to turn back and every one was relaxed when we were back to Dubai creek. But it was fun so try it next time when you are in Dubai. I have mentioned Danat Dubai's telephone and fax numbers for your help here.
