You can currently book a 6-night cruise on board the MSC Virtuosa for merely €299pp, incl. full-board. You can either board in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, from where you would travel to Sir Bani Yas, Dammam, and Doha, before then going back to your port of embarkation.
If you start your trip in Dubai, the cruise would be from November 28 until December 4, 2021. Starting in Abu Dhabi would push both dates back by one day.

For €299 (per person), you would be staying in an inside cabin. An outside cabin would cost €359 per person, while a cabin with balcony costs €479 pp.
Depending on how much you drink, it may be worth considering getting the “Winter Special including drinks package”. With that package, all drinks that cost up to €6 are included. The inside cabin, with this winter special, costs €419 per person, the outside cabin €479.
The Ship
The MSC Virtuosa can hold up to 6,334 passengers in almost 2,500 cabins. Across its 15 decks, you’ll find 21 bars and 11 restaurants. Of those restaurants, 3 are included in this deal: An à-la-carte restaurant, a steak house, and a tacos restaurant. But you don’t have to spend all your time eating as there are also 5 swimming pools, 9 whirlpools, and facilities to play basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and much more.
The cabins are roughly 16-22 square meters big and have an interactive TV. Of course, you’ll also have a bathroom with a shower, a safe, and air conditioning.
