Abu Dhabi is set to increase the number of cruise liners taking tourists on trips around the Arabian Gulf from the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal.

The new cruise liners are just one of a number of new initiatives from the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT- Abu Dhabi) aimed at enhancing the overall cruise experience in the UAE capital.

A new visitor information centre at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal will also be built as Abu Dhabi continues to elevate its position as a premier cruise destination and enhance the cruise experience.

Posting on X, DCT- Abu Dhabi said: "We're proud to announce a series of strategic initiatives, to strengthen our role as a leading cruise hub and invite cruise guests to discover Abu Dhabi’s top attractions and hidden gems.

"The announcements were made at this year's Seatrade Cruise MED, the leading cruise conference, hosted in Málaga, Spain. The event attracted over 2,000 visitors, and 175+ cruise line personnel from more than 80 countries.

"As part of our continued commitment to elevate the emirate's position as a premier cruise destination and enhance the cruise experience, the new initiatives will offer an exclusive digital cruise guide.

"The initiatives will also include an exclusive benefit for crew members of cruise liners operating in the Arabian Gulf, with a Cruise Crew Pass which will offer significant discounts on F&B, retail, and attractions across the capital.
