DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has highlighted the city’s enduring popularity and diverse appeal as a leading cruise destination during the 2022 edition of Seatrade Cruise Global, a leading event for the global cruise industry, which took place from 27 – 29 April 2022 in Florida, USA.

DET once again participated during the annual cruise industry event under the Cruise Arabia banner, alongside 15 co-exhibitors and stakeholders comprised of tourism boards, port operators, airline and destination management companies from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Oman. The unified stand promoted the region’s far-reaching cruising capabilities, highlighting the resilience of the cruise and maritime industry and the appeal of the region to global cruise lines and their passengers.

With key exhibitors participating alongside DET such as DP World, Dubai Harbour, Emirates Airline, Arabian Adventures, Sharaf Tours and Orient Tours, Seatrade Cruise Global provided a valuable platform for DET’s partners to facilitate discussions on homeporting opportunities, to discuss itineraries featuring Dubai as a port of call and highlight the city as a gateway to the region. The event also enabled DET and stakeholders to reconnect with global cruise lines as the industry continues to recover and return to growth
