Iglu Cruise has reduced the price of an 18-night holiday including a cruise to the Middle East and an Emirates stay to £999 per person. Putting this deal together separately could cost up to £350 more.

This deal departs on 30 April, 2012, and includes:

• Flights from London Heathrow to Barcelona
• 15-night cruise to Dubai onboard Royal Caribbean International's Voyager of the Seas
• $100 per stateroom onboard credit
• Transfers to and from the hotel in Dubai
• Return flights from Dubai to London Heathrow
• A choice of a 3-night stay at a central Dubai hotel, or at a beach resort near Dubai

Voyager of the Seas first stops in Alexandria, where it will stay overnight to give plenty of time to discover the city, before sailing through the Suez Canal. The cruise will then continue to Sharm el Sheikh and Safaga, before arriving in Dubai. The price includes full-board accommodation in an Interior Stateroom. Oceanview Staterooms are an extra £230, and Balcony Staterooms an extra £460.

The stay will be at either the 3-star Citymax Dubai Hotel Bur, in the historic centre, or the 5-star Al Hamra Fort Hotel, in Ras Al Khaimah (45 minutes from Dubai).

Voyager of the Seas offers family-friendly activities including three swimming pools, six Jacuzzis, a rock-climbing wall, a 9-hole miniature golf, an ice-skating rink and a golf simulator. The centre point of the ship is the 4-deck atrium with shops, eateries and bars including the Pig 'n' Whistle, a traditional British pub.

My Time Dining means guests can choose free seating at the main dining rooms**. Alternative eateries include Italian restaurant Portofino.
