Msheireb Museums, in partnership with Qatar Tourism (QT), announced the successful conclusion of the 2023-24 cruise season recently, highlighting its vital role in enhancing visitors' experiences by offering a glimpse into Qatar's rich culture and heritage.

The 2023-24 cruise season, which ran from October 2023 to April 2024, welcomed a record-breaking 378,000 passengers across 73 vessels, showcasing Qatar's growing prominence as a global cruise destination.

As part of its partnership with QT and in collaboration with the cruise contracted DMCs, Msheireb Museums hosted an average of 8-10 cruise group visits per week since October, introducing visitors to the district's four heritage houses: Bin Jelmood House, Company House, Radwani House, and Mohammed Bin Jassim House, while visiting Msheireb Downtown Doha.
