28 Night World Cruise sector sailing from Dubai to New York aboard Queen Mary 2.

Lavish Dubai and colourful Oman embody the intrigue of the Arabian Gulf. Transit the historic Suez Canal for time ashore in Greece, Spain and the UK before crossing the Atlantic to New York.

Highlights of this cruise:

Dubai
Dubai is full of fascinating contrasts and distinctive blends. Here you’ll uncover Eastern and Western influences, extraordinary extravagance, stunning man-made resorts, and a culture that intrigues.

Beyond the endless shopping opportunities, there are memorable sights at every turn, including Jumeira Mosque, the glittering Gold Souq, and the Heritage Village showcasing Bedouin craftsmanship.

Muscat
In this low-rise gem between the Arabian Gulf and scenic mountains, your first impression will likely be from the Sultanate of Oman’s beautiful main palace, but there is a great deal more to Muscat.

Forts Mutrah, Jalali and Mirani guard Muscat’s entrance, and once ashore you’ll wonder which direction to explore in. Maybe start with the pink marble Zawawi Mosque and its gilded dome.

Athens
From Piraeus, you visit Athens – the world famous ‘birthplace of modern democracy’. This is a magnificent opportunity to explore its universal legacy of architectural, artistic and political triumphs.

Visit the perfectly proportioned Parthenon built during the Golden Age of Peracles, stroll the ancient columns of Stoa where Plato once lectured, or tour the tavernas and twisting lanes of the Plaka.

Barcelona
Delve into the Picasso Museum or Miró Foundation. Take in Gaudi’s rare architectural genius with Parc Güell, Casa Mila and Casa Batlló – and his incredible unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia.

Post-sightseeing, take a shady spot in one of Barcelona’s numerous cafés for a dose of Las Ramblas’ charming evening atmosphere of street performers and social city life.

Southampton
The ideal start or ending point for a memorable voyage, the United Kingdom's premier passenger port and sprawling South Coast city, Southampton, was home to iconic transatlantic liners of yesteryear.

Its great location means you’ve access to a range of historic sites, charming villages and national landmarks, and the great metropolis of London with all to see and do there.

New York
See the bright lights of the Big Apple, an international mecca and melting pot of culture, cuisine, architecture and art. Salute the great Statue of Liberty and prepare for the city that never sleeps.

Visit colourful Greenwich Village, the legendary Central Park, or any number of world-famous museums, galleries and sights. Or devote your New York time to shopping the big-name stores.
