MSC Cruises is looking to make the most of its Arabian Gulf sailing packages by offering a special Valentine's Day cruise this February.



The move will see the MSC Lirica transformed into a lover's paradise from February 12th to 19th as it embarks on its recently created Middle-East tours.



As part of the Valentine-focused cruise, MSC will be offering a special Rose Petal Package of luxury items for the romantically inclined.



This includes a bottle of Il Vino dell'Amore along with a Moscato Spumante and petit fours as part of the deluxe package.



The deal is MSC Cruises latest attempt at drumming up interest in its Abu Dhabi focused cruises.



It comes after the firm announced that its MSC Lirica vessel would be conducting cruise holidays along Oman and the United Arab Emirates through the winter months.



Back in October, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority chairman HH Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan welcomed the arrival of the MSC Lirica to the region.



"We hope she has set a course that many others will follow," he said at the event.


Does this sound like a good Valentine's Day trip or simply a cash in?
