MSC Cruises has announced that the MSC Euribia will return to the Arabian Gulf for the winter 2025–2026 season, offering a range of 3-, 4-, and 7-night roundtrip sailings from Dubai. The itineraries will feature notable regional destinations including Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Sir Bani Yas Island, allowing passengers to experience the top sites in the region during the optimal traveling season.

The deployment prioritizes a luxurious travel experience by consolidating accommodation, dining, and entertainment into a single seamless offering. Passengers can enjoy the convenience of embarking directly from Dubai, thereby simplifying the travel process.

To cater to travelers seeking elevated service and privacy, MSC Cruises continues to highlight its Yacht Club offering on the MSC Euribia. This exclusive section includes personalized butler service, a private restaurant, and secluded amenities while still providing access to the ship’s full range of facilities.

Angelo Capurro, Executive Director of MSC Cruises, emphasized the rising demand from GCC residents for luxurious cruising options in the region. He mentioned that the MSC Euribia is tailored to deliver a high-comfort experience that fully encompasses the wonders of the Arabian Gulf.

The cruise itineraries take full advantage of the Gulf’s idyllic winter weather, featuring highlights such as Dubai’s architectural marvels and luxury shopping, Abu Dhabi’s iconic attractions like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and the natural beauty of Sir Bani Yas Island. Guests can also explore cultural sites in Doha and historic destinations in Manama, Bahrain.

The MSC Euribia is set to begin operations on November 8, 2025, with bookings now open for all available itineraries. Additionally, MSC has announced plans to deploy the MSC World Europa to the region for the winter 2026–2027 season, indicating the company’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its presence in the Gulf cruise market.
