Zahara helps augment cruise tourism in Oman

Oman (SANEPR.com) March 27, 2008 -- Zahara Tours recently welcomed passengers on board Silver Cloud, the luxurious vessel of the Silversea cruises and the unique ship, The World. The World is the only resort community circumnavigating the globe which offers passengers the choice of owning a home or enjoying a unique vacation experience at sea.

Being the land tours operators for a large number of cruise ships in Oman, Zahara meticulously plans off shore excursions for the travelers showcasing the Sultanate’s rich heritage and scenic locales.

Highlighting the tours conducted for cruise passengers, Gautam Broota, General Manager at Zahara Tours, commented, “Our commitment to showcase the best of Oman outlines the effort that we put in to organise the offshore excursions for all our guests. In the light of the tourism development initiatives undertaken by the government and its prospects for the future of Oman’s tourism sector, we constantly explore ways and means to boost the cruise tourism industry.”

Further commenting on the land tours conducted for passengers on board Silver Cloud and The World, Broota added, “Our alliance earlier this year with Silversea cruises is aimed to broaden our spectrum of services notably to our clients alongside exposing them to a choice of memorable 5 star cruise holidays.” He added, “The World, on the other hand, is a unique concept ship which is strikingly beautiful and provides the passengers the experience of a private yacht, seaside villa or exclusive country club. It was a challenging, yet exciting experience to organise the off-shore excursions for its passengers who seek to explore the world while being residents on board the ship.”
