Thanks to an increased demand in the Persian Gulf region, Royal Caribbean has decided to extend its third consecutive season in the Gulf to six months. This will run from November 2011 through April 2012 and will be the longest season ever for Royal Caribbean in the region.
Cruises during this season will be comprised of 18 round trip 7-night sailings and two Dubai and India 12-nights sailings. Brilliance will starts her 7-night itineraries in Dubai, then sail to Fujairah and dock in Muscat, where guests can enjoy an overnight stay in the port. Brilliance then continues with a sea day, via Abu Dhabi and then back to Dubai.
In addition, Royal Caribbean is the only cruise line in the region that will offer two new 12-night sailings that include stops in India. Coming from Dubai, Brilliance of the Seas will spend three days at sea before stopping in Goa, New Mangalore and Cochin before docking in Muscat and then sailing back to Dubai.
