Cruises in Aqaba

There are plenty of cruises to Aqaba Jordan, well known as the Pink City. Since the Gulf of Aqaba is the only sea route to Jordan there are several cruise lines that offer you varied itinerary choices--ranging from 10-day cruises to 75-day cruises.

Cruises

You can hop onboard "Le Diamant" a luxury yacht under the Compagnie du Ponant fleet. This yacht can accommodate up to 226 passengers and takes you on a 10-day cruise from Athens, Greece to Aqaba, Jordan. But if you want to go on a longer cruise and visit several other ports, you should consider booking a cruise on the Regent Seven Seas-Seven Seas Mariner. This ship takes you on an 18-day cruise and stops at Aqaba for nearly 10 hours. This gives you plenty of time to explore the sights and sounds of Aqaba. The ship sets sail from Istanbul and journeys through several other ports like Port Said, Safaga, Aqaba, Muscat and lastly Dubai. But if you’re already in Aqaba you may want to take cruise from this port.

Cruises from Aqaba

Sea Cloud Cruises takes you on an 11-day Middle Eastern cruise aboard the Sea Cloud Hassar. The ship departs at 6 p.m. from Aqaba and takes you on a voyage to Hodeidah, while making stops at other ports like Ain Sukhna and Safaga. You could also choose to take a cruise from Aqaba to Dubai aboard the mv Minerva. The prices vary according the type of accommodation you choose, the length of your cruise and the cruise liner you select. Make sure you book in advance and find out if you're required to obtain visas to get off at any port of call.
