Most of us have been dreaming of our next overseas trip, and finally, with international borders opening up, those dreams can start to become a reality.
Imagine that dream holiday costing you absolutely nothing - well, that could be a possibility with our latest cruise competition.
In conjunction with Emerald Cruises, Australian Community Media and Explore are giving away an eight-day Arabian Peninsula luxury yacht cruise for two, including flights.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience exploring the gems of this region on the intimate and luxury ship Emerald Azzurra in your own private balcony suite. The prize is valued at $20,000 and departs on January 3, 2023, from Doha to Dubai.
To enter, visit our Explore travel website and look for the competition story or scan the QR code in the main photo on this page. The competition opened at 12.01am on Saturday, May 14, 2022, and closes at 11.59pm on Sunday, June 19, 2022. Full terms and conditions can be found on the link on the entry form.
Get a taste of the itinerary, including five excursions and the chance to experience Emirati culture and traditions. From the Qatari capital of Doha, guests sail to the stunning Sir Baniyas Island for an indulgent day at the beach. In Abu Dhabi, tour the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque before the Omani port city of Khasab breaks up busy days of exploration with more beachside relaxation.
Visit Fujairah and witness the oldest Emirati mosque, then dip your toes in the emerald waters of Zighy Bay as you admire the mountainous landscape of the Musandam Peninsula. The trip concludes with a guided tour of Dubai and a traditional Emirati cultural experience.
To see the full itinerary and options, visit the Emerald Cruises website.
All up the experience includes flights from Sydney, airport transfers to and from the yacht, seven nights in a balcony suite, onboard meals and beverages, unlimited WiFi, a short excursion in every port and Gocycle electric bicycles.
