"Safari" is the Swahili word for adventure and that's just what we have in store for you. We sail up and down the coast Somalia

LOL. Do I get my own fully loaded AK47? From the testimonials I want first class passage please - up close and personal.

This is really sick, and the worst part is that their are people out there who will respond

Hello, I would like to take a family vacation on this cruise. Do you have something to steady firearms for my elderly mother?
My family also requires nonsmoking rooms and my teenage daughter is a vegan but I'm not sure how long that will last. Thank you in advance for a timely reply. Last year we went on a Disney cruise and it was total crap. I'm trying to make it up to the family.
Do we get to keep our kill and is there a taxidermist service on board?

As Sage says, some people not familiar with the piracy problem off Somalia might take this nonsense seriously.

I tell you what though, have a look at Cruising the Arabian Gulf on visit-dubai.co.uk . We had an interesting and enjoyable cruise from the cruise Terminal at Port Rashid on the Costa Romantica 2 years ago.
We visited Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Fujairah [UAE] and Oman in a week's cruise. Interesting to view other Gulf countries/cities in comfort. Most passengers were Italian and French, with some Brits, Germans, Belgians, Dutch and Scandinavians...... and a few Aussies.

Another option that I fancy is calling into Dubai and cruising to Mumbai, Sri Lanka and the Far East.

I am also interested in a cruise to Madagascar [ I think the wildlife there is a bit special , especially the lemurs] and Mauritius , but anything sailing past Somalia could have a problem.
They need a few well-armed international gun-boats in that part of the Indian Ocean. Those Somali pirates are threatening oil supplies and tourism in the region.

Nobody done a Costa Romantica cruise as mentioned on visit-dubai.co.uk, then ?
Out of Port Rashid and around the Gulf.
We enjoyed it ....but not as good as Pand O's Oceana in the Caribbean.
The best food we had was the QE 2 in the Med 3 years ago . She's come to Dubai now and so I have given her a mention on visit-dubai.co.uk
