About this Ocean Empress dinner cruise
Ocean Empress sits above the traditional wooden-dhow picks when guests want more deck space and a bigger shared-dinner atmosphere. The sailing stays in the Dubai Marina / Palm view corridor — skyline photos, not open-ocean crossing.
Choose Standard if you want the best price on this vessel. Choose VIP if you want upgraded seating and a more premium drinks/dinner package. If you want a classic small dhow feel instead, look at the Alexandra dhow cruise or the Al Mansour dhow cruise.

Dear Business Owner:
PLEASE Read EVERY WORD of This EMAIL –
You Can Thank Me Later –
You might be aware of the Government’s PPP Program where qualifying businesses received Funds to help them retain their employees as a part of the CARES Act.
The program has been expanded and now the more generous ERTC Fund program has been revised so more businesses qualify and can receive potentially up to $26,000 PER W-2 EMPLOYEE.
The time to apply is NOW!
We work with an accounting firm that specializes in assisting businesses with the application process to ensure that they get all the money they qualify for. For example, did you know that if you provided health care benefits to your employee and their family, that the funds paid out for those benefits also count as wages in the calculations. That is why our expert accounting team is getting some sizable checks for the businesses that they work with.
To find out how much your business potentially qualifies for, just go to this website, and take 1 minute to fill out the simple initial inquiry form to see what your business qualifies to receive.
