With the development of the Dubai Cruise Terminal and a successful 2009-2010 cruise season flying over one thousand eight hundred passengers, Seawings, the Middle East's only Seaplane tour operator will continue to expand its cruise operations. Given the current market growth and demand for exciting experiences expected for the 2010-2011 cruise season, Seawings will have two seaplanes permanently based at Port Rashid Cruise terminal as well as a fully operational check in terminal lounge.
Commenting on the expansion, Prerna Fogat, Business Manager of Seawings said, "Since starting operations in late 2007, the partnership with the cruise lines has been a successful endeavour. With the cruise segment growing and guests having very limited time in each destination, we worked to establish an operation departing directly from the Port Rashid cruise terminal to offer guests a way to see Dubai and all its icons in less than an hour. The seaplane experience provides guests with a unique way to discover the sheer scale of Dubai from the sky."
The additional capacity, with the two seaplanes permanently based at the cruise terminal, will allow Seawings the ability to handle the required demand as it enters the 2010-2011 cruise season.
With the increase of Cruise line traffic and cruise liners like Costa, Aida and Royal Caribbean adding extra fleet to the region, Seawings will continue to develop its seaplane services and will design packages and offerings specifically for the cruise lines and their guests.
