Emirates and MSC Cruises have extended their partnership for another two seasons. This move solidifies Dubai’s standing as a premier cruise hub. This announcement was made at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, reinforcing a decade-long collaboration between the two entities.

This partnership aims to enhance guest experiences and boost Dubai’s cruise tourism growth. For the next two years, travelers can avail the Fly&Cruise holiday package with MSC Cruises, which offers return Emirates flights from 21 European and American airports.

The packages, which include Emirates flights, are available from numerous locations including:

  • Italy (Milan, Rome)
  • Germany (Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Dusseldorf)
  • United Kingdom (London Heathrow, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle)
  • Amsterdam

  • Stockholm
  • Vienna
  • Zurich
  • São Paulo

Passengers disembarking from their cruise at Port Rashid can conveniently check in their luggage and get their flight boarding passes up to four hours before flight departure.
