All aboard your private Musandam cruise voyage
Discover the dramatic coastline and fjords of the Musandam (also known as the Norway of the Middle East) with close friends or family aboard a traditional, hand-crafted Omani dhow.
Once used by traders on epic voyages across the high seas, today, the dhow sets sail to the less-discovered side of Oman. From mornings exploring quaint fishing villages unaffected by the passing of time to afternoons cruising azure waters boasting some of the world’s most famous diving sites and evenings watching the sunset flicker over the Hajar Mountains, there’s never a dull moment on board. The beautifully designed 90-foot (27.5-meter) vessel features three bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms to accommodate up to six people.
The experience would not be complete without enjoying sumptuous meals from a menu specially crafted by a private chef, who can also customize meals to individual requests or dietary requirements. Morning and afternoon snacks are always available, alongside breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you’re seeking adventure, why not tour the fjords in kayaks (both single and twin), snorkel, hand-line fish, or perfect your tubing skills? For the ultimate relaxation, a selection of spa treatments by seasoned Six Senses Spa therapists is available, as well as morning yoga classes or cooking classes on board.
The voyage glides along the glistening waters of Haffa, Sanna’t, Lima, Charia, and Hamra, taking in the arresting beauty of the underwater world first-hand, with tailor-made dive experiences to explore the colorful corals and sea creatures for novices and experts alike. Inside the Dhahab, there’s a wide selection of board games and a relaxing private lounge to watch movies on demand. At night, the daybeds on the upper deck and the captain’s deck provide the most picturesque platform for stargazing.
