About this Alexandra dinner cruise

Alexandra is for guests who want the classic dhow look and feel — wood finishes, open decks and a shared dinner table — rather than a megayacht party deck. The route stays inside Dubai Marina, so you are watching skyscrapers, yachts and the Marina Walk promenade light up, not open-sea sailing.

It sits in the mid-value band on our Marina comparison: above the budget pick, the Al Mansour dhow cruise, and usually below larger premium vessels like the Ocean Empress dinner cruise in VIP. If you want traditional dhow character with a reliable buffet dinner, Alexandra is one of the clearest choices on the hub.

What you get on board

Your ticket typically includes:

  • International buffet dinner
  • Soft drinks, water, tea and coffee
  • Live Tanoura dance show
  • Dubai Marina skyline views from open and air-conditioned decks
  • Shared seating on a traditional wooden dhow

Shared hotel transfer is AED 40 per adult from centrally located Dubai hotels. Private two-way transfer for up to 6 guests is AED 350.

Onboard entertainment highlights

Every Alexandra dinner cruise includes a live Tanoura dance show — a traditional Sufi spinning dance performed on deck.

Tanoura show

Live traditional spinning dance on every Wed, Fri and Sat sailing.

International buffet

Starters, mains and desserts served onboard.
