If you are planning a trip, it is extremely useful to be aware of upcoming cruises. This will allow you to plan ahead, and also know if there is a cruise that looks good that you can book as an alternative in case you do not have a choice of another ship. When you’re in Aqaba, take advantage of the opportunity to see Petra and Wadi Rum while your cruise ship is docked at the port. A day trip would be an easy way to see both these destinations while enjoying the luxuries and comforts of your cruise ship.
