Go on a ‘Cruise’ for a Day with MSC Cruises

Have you ever been on a cruise? MSC Cruises is giving residents and visitors in Qatar a chance to visit any of their two cruise ships currently docked at Doha Port . 

Embark on the MSC World Europa or the MSC Poesia with exclusive day pass access! The day pass will allow you to board the ship for the day and enjoy all the facilities and attractions offered onboard.

MSC World Europa

From her sleek interior design and 13 dining venues – to her thrilling entertainment offerings, the onboard experience on the MSC World Europa is like no other cruise ship.

Relax in the scenic Panorama Lounge, experience the excitement of the futuristic Luna Park Arena or lose yourself in the iconic Kinetic Dome. Experience a world of cuisines with brand new concepts that include the Chef’s Garden Kitchen – the first hydroponic garden at sea; the Mediterranean fish restaurant La Pescaderia ; a new onboard microbrewery; and a Gin bar where you can learn mixology.

The ship also features some of their signature favourites, like the American-style steakhouse and the Latin American street food-inspired Hola! Tacos & Cantina , the Kaito Teppanyaki & Sushi bar, and the ship’s renowned buffets.

There’s something for everyone on board, from waterpark to bumper cars and street performances. And with seven swimming pools spread across the ship, including one with a sliding roof, there’s always space to relax by the water and pool deck.

For families with children, the award-winning MSC Kids Club features state-of-the-art facilities inside a dedicated area of the ship, with a range of kids’ clubs and tailor-made programmes for every age group.

The MSC Poesia is an innovative cruise ship. Step aboard and you’ll enter a refined world of comfort, from the spectacular foyer waterfall to the Zen Garden , authentic Japanese Sushi bar and opulent MSC Aurea Spa wellness centre with steam room, sauna and divine massages to pamper body and mind – the perfect place to unwind.

The ship offers all the resort amenities you could wish for, including three swimming pools, four whirlpools and a giant poolside cinema screen. Kids and teens are equally well-served with their own clubs and parties, a dedicated Stone Age and Dinosaur Play area, stunning video games and even a DJ disco!

The gourmet cuisine onboard brings you specialities from around the world but retains its Mediterranean heart, rooted in the values of the Italian slow food movement. With MSC, every succulent dish is freshly prepared with care by skilled chefs and prime ingredients.

The varied lounge bars also offer refreshing drinks – original and authentic – from the Grappolo d’Oro wine-tasting bar to the Mojito cocktail bar and the ‘sumptuous’ cigar room.

The Day Pass for any of the two cruise ships is only QAR182 and includes access to MSC World Europa or MSC Poesia, and all their public facilities and attractions onboard, plus a variety of dining options. Food and drinks are payable on board.

Please note that you need to present a valid Hayya Card to access Doha Port and the ships.

Doha, Qatar Cruises

Doha is the capital of Qatar and the most populous city on the coast of the Persian Gulf in the east of the country, north of Al Wakrah, and South of Al Khor. Whether it's the stunning and constantly changing skyline or the massive investments, Qatari authorities make in landmark cultural icons. This multicultural city is home to most of the country's population and expatriate communities. It has been rising from the desert and is an ambition brought to life by the world's most talented architects and their teams. Now, you can turn your transit in Doha into an incredible experience while discovering Qatar on a Qatar cruise trip vacation. A Doha cruise trip can be a great way to experience all that the city has to offer, as well as the surrounding areas of the Persian Gulf.

Doha Highlights

In 2022, the city slated to host the soccer World Cup will be the hub of one of Asia's most dynamic economies. The city's impressive skyline is constantly enhanced by new wonders, which makes it a popular tourist destination. You can also enjoy a wide variety of cultural festivals. It's the place to be if you want to see the latest international films or the best Arabic musical performances. A few highlights of Doha can be found here.

1. Creating Its Own Future

As skyscrapers sprout from the ground like palm trees in a desert oasis, Doha is paving its way into the future. Although it's in a development phase, the city remains relatively small. It is ideal for short-term visitors because sights like museums, galleries, and souks are easily accessible. The fact that the city is not forgetting its tradition and history while it undergoes such rapid development is comforting. Doha keeps one foot firmly in the past even as it strives to create a bright future.

2. Eating and Drinking

You can sample all the indulgent sweet and savory dishes of Qatari cuisine while on a cruise to Doha. Qatari cuisine features bold flavors combining influences from Africa , India , and the Mediterranean . Qatari cuisine uses rose water, Yemeni honey, dates, and camel meat cooked to a tender state. The most popular Qatari dish is Machboos, a thinly sliced grilled meat wrap served at lunchtime. You'll find this traditional dish in local restaurants around Souq Waqif, where it's similar to Indian biryani.

3. Shopping

A serious pastime in Doha is shopping, which includes everything from big names in fashion to fragrant spices. The Pearl is an artificial island in the city where you can enjoy the city's best shopping experience. This futuristic suburb is awash from the coast of Doha with luxury labels. It represents international fashion's crème de la crème. The historical Souq Waqif occupies the opposite end of the spectrum. There is nothing more Middle Eastern than a trip through this ancient labyrinth in Doha, which has become one of the city's most popular attractions. Aside from dried fruits, nuts, and woody incense, you'll find clothing, spices, jewelry, and Bedouin rugs here.

Interesting Spots to Visit

For a taste of traditional Qatari culture, you can visit the city's many museums and cultural attractions on a Qatar cruise trip. An impressive seafront corniche lines Qatar's capital and largest city, lined with strikingly modern architecture. A traditional dhow ride will give you an incredible view of the sea. There aren't many famous tourist attractions in Doha, but there are some exciting attractions, along with a glittering skyline that constantly changes. Tourists can visit the following beautiful spots on their cruise trip from Doha.

1. Katara Village

One of the best places to visit in Doha is Katara Cultural Village, located on the eastern coast between West Bay and The Pearl. TEDx Doha and Ajyal Youth Film Festival are two of its most significant events. It is designed to mimic the look, feel, and atmosphere of a traditional Qatari Al Faraj through its buildings and facilities.

2. The Pearl

There are Mediterranean-style marinas, residential towers, private villas, hotels, and top branded boutiques and showrooms on The Pearl - Qatar, an artificial island off the coast of Qatar. There are dozens of restaurants, waterfront cafes, and shops around the world at the Pearl - Qatar, making it a trendy dining spot. Due to its ambiance, architecture, and alfresco dining, the Pearl is one of the most visited spots in Qatar and is often called the Arabian Riviera . The Pearl - Qatar offers a world-class example of modern architecture. This feature makes it stand out from other full-time residences and makes it an ideal place where beauty is everywhere you look.

3. Inland Sea

Visiting the Inland Sea is a must to experience desert adventures in Qatar. A UNESCO natural reserve 60 km from Doha, the Inland Sea of Khor Al Adaid is one of Qatar's must-see places. During high tide, the dunes meet the sea in one of the few places in the world. The site offers breathtaking landscapes and a chance to see unique species. Khor Al Adaid is home to rare turtle species and dugongs. Only 4X4 vehicles can drive across the dunes to reach this place.

4. Islamic Cultural Center

The Islamic Cultural Center, also called Fanar, is a place the whole family should visit. Non-muslims are welcome to participate in various activities offered by this charitable organization. Visitors are often drawn to the center because it organizes several exhibitions and activities throughout the year. Fanar offers Arabic courses to anyone who comes here, regardless of background. The courses are offered all year long and come in various types.

5. Museums and Galleries

The Qatari government has invested money in building its cultural infrastructure, with some fantastic results. In addition to paintings, ceramics, and carpets, the Museum of Islamic Art features various other art forms. There are plenty of cultural attractions, including the Arab Museum of Modern Art and the strikingly designed National Museum of Qatar.

If you're looking to experience the beauty and culture of Doha and the Persian Gulf on a cruise, consider CruiseBooking for your Qatar cruise ship booking. A Doha cruise trip can be a memorable and enriching vacation experience, offering the chance to explore the vibrant city and the beautiful countries of the Persian Gulf.

With Doha CruiseBooking, you have the opportunity to choose from a variety of cruise lines and ships, including luxury liners and more budget-friendly options. You'll also be able to customize your itinerary to include stops at various ports of call, such as Bahrain, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, as well as excursions and activities in each destination. We offer a wide range of options and personalized support to help you plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.

When to Visit?

Doha is located in the Middle East and has a hot desert climate with high temperatures year-round. The best time to visit Doha is in the cooler months from October to April. The city is generally more incredible during these months than the rest of the year. The temperatures are more comfortable, ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit during the day and dropping to the mid-50s to low 60s Fahrenheit at night. This is also the peak tourist season in Doha, so you can expect larger crowds and higher prices. On the other hand, if you're looking to avoid the crowds and find more affordable prices, you may want to consider visiting during the hot summer months from June to September.

SC SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH MSC CRUISES TO CHARTER TWO CRUSIE LINERS DURING QATAR 2022

Ships will offer 4,000 cabins to fans during fifa world cup™.

Doha, Qatar, 18 November 2019 – Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) has signed an agreement with MSC Cruises to charter two cruise liners to accommodate fans during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ä .

The cruise liners, which feature a combined capacity of 4,000 cabins, will act as floating hotels during the tournament. They will be berthed at Doha Port, giving fans a spectacular view of the West Bay skyline.

Chartering cruise liners for fans has long been part of Qatar’s accommodation strategy, with the country keen to offer sustainable solutions for the month-long tournament, which will kick-off on 21 November 2022.

His Excellency Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti , Minister of Transports and Communications, congratulated the SC for its collaboration with MSC and said significant progress had been made in accomplishing the country’s ambitious plans in the field of transport and communications, which will serve all visitors during the FIFA World Cup ä and provide an exceptional experience.

Al Sulaiti said: “The Ministry of Transport and Communications has completed the development of Doha Port to accommodate multiple large passenger ships and enable the port’s capacity to receive the largest cruise ships in the world, serving fans and visitors who come to Qatar during the 2022 World Cup.”

Al Sulaiti also noted that the Ministry has completed the development of standards to facilitate access to Qatar’s transportation system, in addition to providing a comprehensive information portal on mobility and applications that visitors and fans will be able to use during the tournament.

His Excellency Hassan Al Thawadi , Secretary General of the SC, said: “We are pleased to collaborate with MSC Cruises to deliver this unique accommodation option for fans in 2022. We are sure fans from all over the world will be excited at the prospect of staying on board a cruise ship, with a fabulous view of West Bay, and fast access to all the stadiums and fan zones.”

Pierfrancesco Vago , Executive Chairman, MSC Cruises, said: “We are delighted that Qatar has selected our ships to ensure that tourists who visit the country during the upcoming FIFA World Cup have high-end accommodation and services available to further enrich their experience. The tournament is one of the world’s most popular events and this will be another opportunity for holidaymakers from across the globe converging on Doha to experience our ships and enjoy the unique international experience that only MSC Cruises can offer.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the State of Qatar will charter MSC Cruises’ MSC Europa and MSC Poesia . Scheduled for delivery in 2022, MSC Europa is currently under construction in Saint-Nazaire, France. As the first liquefied natural gas-powered ship in MSC Cruises’ fleet, she will run on this fuel while at berth in Doha. Being the most environmentally friendly marine fuel currently available, her air emissions will be kept to a minimum. She also features, like all cruise ships from MSC Cruises’ fleet, advanced waste and water treatment systems, in addition to a wide range of cutting-edge environmental technologies for cleaner air emissions and minimised environmental footprint.

In addition to floating hotels, Qatar’s other accommodation options will include hotels, apartments and fan villages.

Yasir Al Jamal, Chairman of the SC’s Host Country Operations Office and Vice Chairman of the Technical Delivery Office, said: “We are determined to deliver a range of accommodation options which will suit every taste and budget in 2022. It is important we provide sustainable solutions for the country while ensuring an unmatched fan experience.”

In 2022, the cruise ships will be served by shuttle buses which will take fans to Qatar’s transport infrastructure, including Doha Metro, from where they will be able to access stadiums, fan zones and other attractions.

Doha Cruise

Artificial islands and real richness

A journey to Qatar becomes special on an MSC cruise.

A cruise to  Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Qatar  will introduce you to  Doha , the country's  futuristic capital  on The Gulf. A city with an awesome skyline and new  super modern skyscrapers . 

The  Aspire Tower  in Doha (300 meters) dominates the skylines. It is the highest building of the country, whose shape is akin to a torch. This building is located near the  city of sport , which has already hosted events such as the  XII Pan Arab games . Much of Doha, including places of worship such as the new mosque in the  Qatar Faculty of Islamic studies , seems to be already in the future. Don't miss a visit to the Pearl, a futuristic artificial circular port which is being developed to the north of the city centre, and yet, as you will notice on your MSC  excursion , the ancient heart of the city still beats strong. 

In the historical centre of  Doha  you will find a  Suq  where everything – from camels to gold – can be exchanged, and the  Al Khoot fortress , dating back to the end of the nineteenth century and now converted into a museum. During your cruise to  Doha  with MSC Cruises, some excursions will lead you on the discovery of the north of the country and the history of this fascinating Emirate. In Ash Shamal the  Al-Zubara fortress  rises up from the middle of the desert and dates back to the thirties. The building, which at first sight  seems an enormous sand castle , has been completely restored and transformed into a museum. Near the fortress you can also visit the archaeological remains of another, even older, defensive structure,  Qal’ at Murair . Also you will find  Zubara , a village of traders and pearl divers, a settlement which dates back to the nineteenth century, and later abandoned.

Earn up to $600 in onboard credits when you book a cruise with Royal Caribbean now through June 6 at noon EST. Choose from three nights up to seven nights, with destinations ranging from Alaska to Bermuda.

Through its loyalty program, The Crown & Anchor Society, Royal Carribbean seeks to give its gets more perks and benefits the more they cruise. Earn one Cruise Point for each night you sail, plus double points for a suite. Royal Caribbean has six loyalty tiers, and one 3-night cruise is enough to get you started at Gold Status. Perks include discounts on food and beverages, access to special events, in-state room services and more.

The best rewards are available to Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members, requiring 175 and 700 points, respectively. These points accrue over your lifetime, so while it can take some time to reach this status, loyalty pays.

Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line advertises an onboard credit of up to $50, plus 40% off cruise rates and a free room upgrade right now. You can find cruises sailing to The Bahamas for as low as $174 per person.

Carnival’s VIFP (Very Important Fun Person) Club has five tiers, starting at Blue for your first trip. It’s somewhat easier to reach Carnival’s Top Tier of Diamond membership, since you need just 200 points. You can achieve Platinum with 75 to 199 points. However, you don’t earn double points for suites. Every night of sailing counts as 1 loyalty point.

Perks for top-tier members include priority check-in and boarding, free chocolate, and a VIFP logo gift, which Carnival brand ambassador John Heald recently revealed is a blue and red tote bag adorned with the VIFP club logo.
