Resorts World One is expected to make 75 calls in the region with 150,000 passengers over the six-month period, which will significantly contribute to the growth of cruise tourism in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
Resorts World One will attract a new segment of cruise passengers from Asia, increasing diversity to the Arabian Gulf cruise market.
Resorts World One will operate from the Hamdan bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal at Mina Rashid.
Muslim cruise passengers will be an important market segment and in order to cater for them, the Resorts World One will receive the official OIC/SMIIC standard halal-friendly cruise ship certification, providing regional Muslim travellers with the convenience and access to certified Halal-friendly offerings onboard the ship.
