Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal is officially open

The facility is the region’s first twin-terminal cruise port

Carnival Corporation has celebrated the official launch of Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal in partnership with Shamal Holding following a strategic partnership signed in 2018 to develop the new cruise port.

Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal spans more than 120,000 square metres (nearly 1.3 million square feet) and includes two purpose-built terminal buildings that offer passengers and crew a seamless embarkation and disembarkation experience. 

The event was marked by the arrivals of Costa Firenze and AIDAbella from the Italy-based Costa Cruises and Germany-based AIDA Cruises brands, and coincided with the start of the cruise season, as well as both ships’ homeporting seasons from Dubai.
