Costa Ship Dubai

Dubai has become a big pull for cruise ships, its hot and sunny has beautiful beaches and most of all has a port, this makes it an ideal stopover for a cruise ship. You don’t have to stay too long (let’s be honest sometimes too much of Dubai is not a good thing) . Costa cruises has been using Dubai as a base for ‘winter sun’ cruise sector since 2006, when it placed it first ship in Dubai.

Costa likes Dubai so much it will hold the naming ceremony of its newest Ship right here in Dubai, the name of the ship has already been chosen, Costa Deliziosa the only thing that remains is to make it official.  This is a bit of an improvement for the Cruise sector in Dubai as recent plans for the QE2 to be made into a floating hotel have been put on hold, as have the plans to make the artificial reef where the QE2 was to be moored.

Costa expects to have three ships sailing out of Dubai by 2010 , carrying over 100,000 passengers each year.
