You’ll tour cities filled with captivating history, eat wonderful foods, see unique sites, and make memories you’ll have for a lifetime. Continue below to preview some of the best things to do on your MSC Cruises vacation to Dubai and India:

• Old Dubai Walking Tour (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) If you’re a fan of sightseeing at a slower pace to absorb what you’re looking at, then a walking tour of Old Dubai will be perfect. You’ll begin the day with a drive to the Al Bastakiya district, with a short stop at the saltwater Dubai Creek. This area is known for its historic houses with wind towers – which are a method for cooling a building without electricity. Then you’ll pass through the textile souk and the heritage area before finishing your tour at the Dubai Museum.  

• Dune Safari (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) When you visit the desert, a thrilling dune driving adventure is almost mandatory. Ride with an expert driver in a modern four-wheel vehicle and experience the thrilling ride over Arabia’s golden sand dunes. Afterwards, relax at a secluded camp site to enjoy the breathtaking views of the desert.  

• Sheikh Zayed Mosque (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is one of the world’s best examples of neo-Islamic architecture and should be a stop for everyone visiting Abu Dhabi. It is one of the largest mosques in the world and has features like chandeliers beset with Swarovski crystals, marble-clad columns inlaid with mother of pearl, pools to reflect the beautiful arched walkways, and more.  

• Gods and Temples of Mangalore (New Mangalore, India) Tour the famous Jain temples of Mangalore, you’ll begin with a stop to see the statue of Bahubali – a Jain saint, then you’ll visit Dr. Soan’s farm where you’ll see exotic fruits and spices, then you’ll end your tour with a stop at the 15th century temple Moodbidiri which features over 1,000 pillars, none of which are alike. If you’re looking for a fascinating cultural tour – then make this a ‘must do’ on your Dubai and India cruise.  

• Fort and Castle Tour (Muscat, Oman) Your first stop on this fascinating tour of Oman’s most impressive structures is Nizwa Fort, which was built in the 17th century and designed to withstand the vibrations from 24 cannons. Climb to the top for a stunning panoramic view of Nizwa. Then you’ll head to the Jabrin Castle, one of Oman’s 17th-century fortifications. Finally, head back to Nizwa with a stop at the Bahla Fort – the first and oldest Omani fort to be built in the Islamic style.  

• Elephant Tour (Goa, India) Don’t miss your opportunity to see the gentle giants up close and in person at the elephant rescue tucked away in the rainforest of the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary – Goa’s only national park. After leaving your ship, enjoy the hour-long scenic drive to the sanctuary, where you can soak up some of the gorgeous scenery. Once you arrive, enjoy an elephant ride to the water’s edge, and then you’ll have the opportunity to swim alongside them or even try giving them a cleansing scrub to go with their bath!

Deal: Holland America Line is offering a "Kids Cruise Free" promotion on select itineraries in 2024. The offer applies to several itineraries including Hawaii , the Caribbean and the Panama Canal; to qualify, children must be 18 or younger and cruising as third and/or fourth guests in the same cabin as adults. As with similar promotions, taxes and port fees are still required for each child's sailing.

Family-friendly perks: Amenities onboard Holland America ships include kids clubs and youth programs, as well as shore excursions oriented to families with little ones in tow. Plenty of stateroom options can also accommodate larger bookings. The Nieuw Statendam and Koningsdam ships, in particular, feature oversized staterooms with beds for four, a large sitting area and a spacious veranda.

Deal: Norwegian Cruise Line lets third and fourth guests cruise free on select itineraries throughout the year. Cruises to which this promotion applies are offered all over the world, including bucket-list destinations like Alaska and the Mediterranean .

Some of the itineraries that qualify for free third and fourth guests also come with complimentary amenities like an unlimited open bar, specialty dining, shore excursions and/or complimentary Wi-Fi. Additionally, some of the itineraries include generous discounts on the total cruise cost , as well as free airfare for a second guest (when booked through the cruise line).

Family-friendly perks: With Norwegian's all-ages kids clubs, family dining, entertainment and activities included in one bundled rate, planning a kid-approved vacation with the cruise line is a breeze. Many Norwegian ships also feature an array of family-friendly staterooms with plenty of extra space. For example, the luxurious Norwegian Prima offers a two-bedroom family villa with a large balcony in "The Haven" – its exclusive area for VIP guests.

Deal: Royal Caribbean offers a "Kids Sail Free" deal several times each year, allowing children 12 or younger to cruise free provided they are the third guests (or beyond) staying in the same cabin as at least two paying adults. The only catch is that blackout dates apply – typically during holiday and school breaks.

Family-friendly perks: There's a reason so many families choose Royal Caribbean ; kid-friendly amenities range from age-specific programming to zip lining at sea. The line's  exclusive island for cruisers , Perfect Day at CocoCay in  the Bahamas , is also a big hit with young passengers thanks to its waterslides and splash areas.

This offer is valid on all sailings offered by the line, many of which feature destinations in desirable ports along the Mediterranean such as Barcelona , Marseille and Rome .

Family-friendly perks: Costa Cruises vessels offer abundant family-friendly amenities, from water parks to arcades to mini golf. Kids clubs are available for children ages 3 to 11, and they provide entertainment like arts and crafts, themed parties, and games galore. A teen zone also hosts cruisers ages 12 to 17 who want to mingle, sing karaoke and play group sports when ships aren't in port.
