Overview
An evening dinner cruise on the mega yacht Lotus is a chance to spend the night on board one of the world's largest and most luxurious mega-yachts and to see Dubai from the water. The 220-foot yacht welcomes up to 500 guests, and its several decks are divided into zones with different moods.
What awaits you on board
The Lotus stands out for its modern design and thoughtful layout. Its decks host a party zone for socialising, a restaurant, a lounge for quieter time and a cinema. A pool and a jacuzzi complete the space, making the evening feel like a resort stay — only with a panorama of the illuminated city around you.
With several decks and capacity for up to 500 passengers, there is room both for a quiet evening for two and for a large group.
Buffet dinner
The heart of the evening is a buffet dinner. Arabic and international cuisine sit side by side on the menu, so you can try both familiar dishes and local flavours.
- Barbecue — freshly cooked meat dishes.
- Canapés — light snacks.
- Desserts — a sweet finish to the meal.
Drinks and ticket options
A bar on board serves soft and alcoholic drinks. When booking, you choose a package: food with soft drinks, a package with unlimited alcoholic beverages, or VIP tables — with and without alcohol. Age restrictions apply to alcoholic drinks.
The VIP ticket includes seats on the upper and lower deck of the yacht and premium-class alcohol.
Entertainment programme
Live music and dancing accompany the evening, including the traditional Tanoura dance. During Ramadan, entertainment may be limited, which is worth keeping in mind when choosing a date.
Cruise route
During the cruise you can see the city's main landmarks from the decks:
- Dubai Marina;
- Palm Jumeirah;
- the Dubai Eye observation wheel;
- the Atlantis hotel.
The route may change depending on weather conditions, so it is best to check the actual sailing path on board.

Practical tips
If you want a seat by the rail with a view of the city, plan to arrive for boarding at 6:45 pm — there will be time to look around the decks and choose a zone to match your mood: the party zone, the lounge or the restaurant.
