Nakheel launches new Palm cruises

New cruise takes a closer look at Dubai's shoreline with trips around the Palm Jumeirah crescent

Dubai property developer Nakheel has introduced a cruise service to provide tours of the Palm Jumeirah and World Islands.

The service, dubbed 'Cruise with Nakheel', was launched yesterday and will sail around Palm Jumeirah's crescent, promising new views of the island's luxury resorts and marinas.

Four boats of different sizes will offer the daily service, which starts at the Nakheel offices on Al Sufouh Road between 9am and 5pm.

"Cruise with Nakheel is a new concept for marine tourism. Travellers can now go 'inside' Palm Jumeirah and enjoy views as never before," said Saeed Harib, Managing Director of Nakheel Marine and Leisure.

A 24m double-decker houseboat is the biggest vessel with an indoor and shaded outdoor seating area with a capacity of 30 people, which is available for hire along with smaller motor boats. CLICK HERE TO SEE IMAGES FROM PALM JUMEIRAH CRUISE
