Royal Caribbean to extend third season

Royal Caribbean’s second Gulf Season was almost fully booked before Brilliance of the Seas set sail from her homeport of Dubai leading to an extension of the 2011/2012 season.

Since January Brilliance of the Seas has been sailing seven night cruises in the region, starting in Dubai and calling at Fujairah, UAE and Muscat, Oman before spending a day at sea and heading back to Dubai via Abu Dhabi.

This season the company has also introduced two new 12 night itineraries which for the first time include ports in India.

Helen Beck, Royal Caribbean International’s regional sales director said “We were in the happy position that the majority of our seven-night sailings were close to being sold out, with some limited availability on the late March and April sailings. We’re equally pleased with the performance of our new 12-night itineraries to India and they are on track to sail at full capacity also.”

Due to the high demand, the company has decided to extend its third consecutive season which will comprise of 18 round-trip seven night sailings and two Dubai to India 12 night sailings from November 2011 through to April 2012.
