I love hearing different perspectives, and today we welcome Thomas and his guest post about Bateaux Dubai! Enjoy, C.
Tired of the usual Dubai package tour program that everyone you know seems to have gone on? Perhaps it’s now time to see and experience Dubai from a different perspective. Stand on the decks of the Bateaux Dubai Dinner Cruise and fill your senses with all the mesmerizing sights, sounds and aromas emanating from the city and the nearby souks.
Some may argue that what the Bateaux offers is nothing new as there are plenty of other hotels and travel agencies providing travelers with a tour of the historical Dubai Creek. However, no other tour compares to the level of luxury the Bateaux provides.
A gem among the rocks
Stand anywhere along the river and you will notice a plethora of traditional dhows and sailing vessels of varying designs, sizes and origins. These boats constantly fill the docks and jetties of Dubai Creek from sunrise until sundown.
Yet even with the constant hustle and bustle, the Bateaux stands apart — a massive modern floating work of art amidst a legion of traditional wooden boats.
Red carpet treatment
Step aboard the Bateaux where guests are treated like royalty. Be prepared to be greeted by a fleet of uniformed staff, each ready to accommodate any special requests. Sip on your welcome drink and nibble on a few canapés while watching the afternoon’s colors change, and observe the soothing darkness slowly envelop the city.
Once the Bateaux leaves the port, guests are ushered into the dining area where they are served with a delectable four-course gourmet meal. From inside the air-conditioned glass-enclosed space, guests can savor the mix of local and international flavors while relishing an unimpeded view of the glittering city skyline.
Beginning last August 1, 2018, an extra treat awaits guests of the Bateaux. A live piano performance now accompanies each evening meal.
During the course of the cruise, guests can order alcoholic drinks to go along with their meals. Alternatively, guests can have their dining options upgraded to include access to the ship’s fine selection of wines and beers.
Guests are free to order and drink alcoholic beverages while onboard the Bateaux. However, as a family-friendly establishment, each passenger is also advised to watch their alcoholic intake. This is to ensure the safety of all people who are onboard.
