Key Highlights of 2017

The 2016-17 season was a great success for Dubai Cruise Tourism, as we saw over 625,000 cruise tourists arrive in the city via a total of 157 ship calls, reflecting increases of 15 per cent and 18 per cent respectively when compared to the previous season. The season also saw operations by Thomson Cruises, the first UK-based cruise line to home port in the region, two cruise lines making their debut in the region, and several maiden ship calls.
