New
cruise line boosts Dubai hub
Imperium
Cruises to set sail in June
Imperium
Cruises, a division of UK-based Imperium Holdings, has announced plans
to base two ships in Dubai this year, operating itineraries to the Red
Sea and Indian Ocean from the Arabian Gulf port.
According
to chief executive officer, Kaiser Helman, the new operation will make
Dubai a regional cruise hub, and eventually bring in between 120,000
and 150,000 passengers annually through the Dubai Cruise Terminal.
“We
have been researching this project for nearly two years, and
identified a gap in the cruise market for ships to homeport in Dubai
on a year-round basis,” he said.
“Traditional cruise regions such as the Caribbean and even
the Mediterranean are congested, and what we will offer here in terms
of itineraries and product is very different from existing
operations.”
Two
ships, formerly part of the defunct Renaissance fleet, have been
chartered from Cruiseinvest – the first, renamed “The White
Goddess”, will arrive in Dubai in May prior to launch of cruises
to Egypt in June.
The
second, “The Goddess Nayna”, is scheduled for a
refit in October 2002 and will then begin cruises from Dubai to the
Indian Ocean and East Africa in late November.
“Our
first itinerary will take in ports in Oman, Yemen and possibly Saudi
Arabia, before turning round in Hurghada – where there is potential
for excursions to Luxor and Cairo, as well as add-on hotel stays,”
said Helman.
“The
second will visit Salalah, Mombasa, Zanzibar, the Seychelles and
Muscat, offering passengers an exotic combination of safaris and
islands.”
The two
ships, each with a 777-passenger capacity, will be tailored to the
regional market, with announcements in Arabic and English, and Middle
East cuisine and entertainment on board.
“We
expect to attract a good mix of nationalities, with European, Gulf
resident and Asian passengers, and one of the key incentives of our
product will be that it offers a flavour of Arabia, as well as
interesting destinations,” claimed Helman.
In
addition, Imperium Cruises is setting up its head office in Dubai, as
well as adding new offices in the UK, Germany and India.
