It’s a nice experience, staff was welcoming, food was good, views were great, but luxury should be removed from the description. The actual boat was old.
Sublime boat trip

Highly recommend!! This trip is most definitely a must., Absolutely fantastic. So beautiful flowing along the can looking at all the different spectacular hotel designs and scenery so much to see. The buffet food was delicious with a great choice, lamb chops gorgeous. Wine very nice. What made the night as well was the saxophone player wow truly amazing we got up and danced. This has got to be one of the best trips in Dubai. One to book. Picked up and dropped off no worries there. You won’t be disappointed with this trip.

The boat and crew were lovely the transfer guy was very thoughtful. The only complain I have is that I paid £30 for some photos to be emailed and as yet I have still not received them

Sadly it was not a luxury cruise, the commentary you could barely hear and it sounded like it was a recording, the music prior to departing was literally on repeat, which kept playing until the sax started, food was very average. It was basically dinner on a boat while cruising around the canal. The sax player was good but it was like everyone was there separately on their own, as there was no interaction it had a weird atmosphere! Wouldn’t recommend if you want a fun night with others but nice to see the lights at night, we just had no idea what we were looking at. Wouldn’t recommend at all:(
Worth for money experience.

The staff are absolutely lovely however the alcohol choices are few and actually pretty horrible when it comes to wine. Not to mention ridiculously and over the top expensive. A little long as well.
Great it's been
