Climb aboard Alishba for a two-hour dinner cruise in Dubai Marina and watch the city light up around you from the water. The evening brings together Marina sightseeing, a buffet dinner, and live entertainment, with open-air seating on the upper deck and an enclosed lower deck if you'd rather stay indoors. Go with Alishba Costa for an easy, relaxed night out, or pick Alishba Royale if you want the more premium double-deck setup. Either way you're sailing in Dubai Marina, and either way it suits couples, families, tourists and anyone who'd like dinner and waterfront views in a single evening.
On Costa, a Dubai Marina dhow cruise with Alishba costs AED 150 per adult and AED 100 per child. On Royale, it's AED 200 per adult and AED 150 per child. Whichever you pick, the ticket covers the two-hour sailing, buffet dinner and live entertainment. Prices can change on special dates.
Alishba Costa is a relaxed Dubai Marina dinner cruise for families, couples, tourists and groups. The regular two-hour evening cruise includes buffet dining, live entertainment and Marina views from open-air and enclosed deck areas.
Costa is a practical choice for guests who want an affordable Dubai Marina dhow cruise with dinner, entertainment and waterfront sightseeing in one evening. Its relaxed atmosphere also works well for families and first-time visitors.
Alishba Royale is a premium Dubai Marina dinner cruise for couples, special occasions, VIP guests and business hosting. The two-hour evening experience combines a spacious double-deck setting, curated buffet dining and Dubai Marina night views.
Royale is designed for guests who prefer a more refined cruise atmosphere, with live saxophone-style entertainment and the choice of open-air upper-deck or enclosed lower-deck seating.
Every Alishba dinner cruise in Dubai Marina comes with a two-hour sailing, an international buffet dinner, live entertainment and views of the Marina skyline. On Costa, the buffet has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. On Royale, it's a curated spread served in a premium double-deck setting.
Pick the open-air upper deck if you want the skyline all around you, or the enclosed lower deck if you'd prefer to be indoors. If you have dietary needs, have a look at the Costa menu and Royale menu before booking. And if you're still deciding, you can compare dinner cruise options to see which one fits your evening.

The regular Alishba Marina cruise runs from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM. Plan to reach the boarding point before departure, not right at 8:30 PM. Your booking confirmation shows the exact reporting time, the pier and a location map, so keep it handy on the day.
Not sure where to go or what to check before you head out? Our Dubai Marina dhow cruise boarding guide covers it.
Reporting time & boarding point: Please follow the exact time and pier shown on your confirmed Alishba booking.
As the dhow pulls away, the Marina starts to open up around you. Tall residential towers line both sides of the water, and the Cayan Tower's twisting shape stands out against the sky. You'll pass JBR and Bluewaters Island, and Ain Dubai rises over the skyline as the night gets darker. Yachts sit along the waterfront, and the lights reflect on the water the whole way. The exact movement can vary with marine conditions.
