Fly to the sun in Dubai
There’s nothing like a holiday in the sun. And it’s always sunny in our home city, Dubai.
The weather is perfect for outdoor adventures or simply soaking up the sun on the beach. Kids will love the theme parks and water parks, desert safaris and seeing the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
The city offers some of the best shopping, dining and hotel stays in the world, so everyone can enjoy a holiday they’ll love.
Thailand
If ancient temples and wild jungles sound like your idea of fun, you’ll find that in Thailand.
If you simply want to unwind at a spa resort and take dips in the pool surrounded by palms, there’s plenty of that too. It’s no wonder Thailand is a dream destination for so many travellers. Look forward to beautiful landscapes and delicious cuisine. You can even try Thai food on your way there with our regional onboard menus.
The best time for a holiday in Thailand is between November and April.
Seychelles
Dreams of the Seychelles conjure up images of giant granite boulders tumbled on to white sandy beaches and palm trees leaning over the lapping turquoise ocean. The Seychelles really is as picturesque as you can imagine.
There are 115 islands to discover in the Seychelles. Your Emirates flight will land on Mahé, the largest island and home to the enchanting capital, Victoria. From there you can travel to your beach or jungle resort, or set sail to Silhouette, La Digue, Praslin and more.
Mauritius
Mauritius is an island where you can enjoy all-out adventure or total relaxation.
Explore the jungles and waterfalls of Black River Gorge, or go whale and dolphin watching off the coast of Tamarin. If you’re looking for more seclusion, you can take a boat trip to remote islands.
The best time to fly to Mauritius is May to December, so book now and end the year with an amazing holiday on this Indian Ocean island.
Vietnam
Whether you're looking for a cultural break, foodie escapade or thrilling escape in nature, Vietnam has all that and more.
Start up north in the capital Hanoi with its fascinating mix of Chinese and French influences reflected in its architecture and cuisine. It's also your starting point for the astoundingly beautiful Halong Bay and some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Then head down to Da Nang in central Vietnam to marvel at the Marble Mountains or travel further to the ancient town of Hoi An and imperial city Hue. If you're looking for a vibrant urban adventure, set off for the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City in the south and be swept away by its crowds, noise and energy.
