Rayna Tours Seacation

5/5

Until I started living in Dubai honestly I didn’t know what a seacation is nor had I ever been on a cruise. For me, like most people, Cruises were a fantasy meant for the high and mighty - for the rich and the famous - as seen in the movies. But thanks to Rayna seacation that I got to experience it first hand and also realise that cruises are not a privilege for the wealthy only. They can be enjoyed by everyone at reasonable prices and honestly, they make so much economic sense than a regular tour because a cruise is like a world on its own packed with entertainment, activities, cuisines and parties - it’s pretty much a one stop shop that actually moves along taking the sailors places, literally. I honestly feel a lot of people still don’t know just how much fun and pocket friendly cruises can be and being on one doesn’t have to be a one time bucket list check but a recurring experiences across different ships sailing through the varied experiences
