News /Break the bank on the most extravagant shopping trip ever...
Royal Caribbean International has launched the world’s most extravagant shopping trip - and it costs a whopping £26,000 before you’ve even bought anything.
The Ultimate Shopaholic package will let big spenders live out their wildest shopping dreams in glitzy Dubai, browsing the latest collections in Gucci, Dior, Armani and Chanel in one of the world’s biggest malls.
This package is available to guests embarking on a cruise from Dubai on the luxurious multi-million pound cruise ship Jewel of the Seas.
While docked for a night in port at the start of the Middle Eastern trip, VIPs can head off on the Ultimate Shopaholic shore excursion in Dubai.
It includes a style consultation by image consultant to the stars, Rose Arbaji, on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa.
Guests will then indulge in a visit to the Dubai Mall for a luxury personal shopping experience with Ms Arbaji where they can ‘shop until they drop’ as they live out the ultimate retail therapy dream.
The jaw-dropping package was created by Royal Caribbean International, after research found Brits believe Dubai will be one of the three best global shopping destinations by 2020 after New York and London.
Managing director, Royal Caribbean International UK and Ireland, Ben Bouldin, said: “In true Royal Caribbean style, we’ve let our imaginations run wild and have created a playground for those who love to indulge in retail therapy, and what better place to do it than Dubai?
“Shopping is still a favourite pastime of the British public and they are expecting big things from Dubai’s retail offering in the coming years. This is an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience and guests will really need to pinch themselves to be reminded it isn’t a dream.”
The huge price tag also includes a professional photo shoot on the golden sands outside the famous sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, a personal hair styling and make-up session, a three course gourmet meal at the Burj Al Arab and a three-and-a-half hour spa extravaganza at the nearby Rose Arbaji Centre
Ms Arbaji, who curated the excursion, said: “Dubai is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary shopping experiences.
“Guests indulging in this shore excursion will visit the city’s most extravagant locations, be guided through the Dubai Mall’s most premium brands and dine at the world’s most luxury hotel. This truly is the ultimate experience for shopaholics everywhere.”
The ‘Ultimate Shopaholic’ shore excursion is exclusively available to guests sailing on Jewel of the Seas from December 2019 to March 2020.
Bookings are now open for Jewel of the Seas Dubai sailings and can be made here.
