If the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a landmark in Abu Dhabi that you are planning to visit soon, then you will be glad to know that now you can do so with a catamaran cruise.

Operated by Costa Azzurra , the electric catamaran service is certainly something visitors Louvre Abu Dhabi must not miss. Lasting for 30 minutes at the cost of AED350 or for an hour at the cost of AED600, every catamaran can sit up to two people at a time. So, you might want to take this tour with your special one! It should be noted that this tour runs every day between 10 AM to 10 PM, which means visitors are expected to arrive 15 minutes before their slot, according to the information available on the official website.

Not The Only Water Related Experience Available Here

However, at this point, it’s worth noting that this is not the only water-related experience that is available at the iconic landmark in Abu Dhabi. Perched on the Arabian Gulf, this museum had previously launched guided tours on a kayak! However, unlike the catamaran ride, the kayak tour runs only one trip daily for up to 25 people. Moreover, this service is available from Tuesday to Sunday and it costs AED126 per person. As such, this tour begins at 5:30 PM and lasts for about an hour.

Don’t Forget To Explore The Ongoing Exhibitions

And while you’re here, once you’re done taking the ride, don’t forget to check out the museum’s ongoing exhibition. Yes, this includes Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design, which presently features 400 pieces of jewellery, textiles, photographs, and drawings. All of these show the influences of Islamic art on Cartier’s designs. Another exhibition called Letters Of Light is also happening at the museum, which presents holy books of the three Abrahamic religions – the Christian bible, the Hebrew, and the Quran. Not to mention, you also get to explore sacred texts featuring works of skilled calligraphers, artists and bookbinders.

Catamaran Louvre Abu Dhabi

Apart from taking a tour on a kayak around the Louvre Abu Dhabi , now you have the opportunity to learn about the museum’s impressive architecture via an electric catamaran cruise. 

Operated by the Costa Azzurra company, catamaran tours take place every day of the week from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. A tour can last 30 minutes or an hour. The first option costs AED 350, and the second one costs AED 600, with up to two people per catamaran in both cases.

The minimum age of a participant is 18 years old. Those who are younger must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that the participants should arrive 15 minutes earlier to get ready.

Situated on Saadiyat Island and surrounded by water, the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum covers 24,000 sqm. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, a winner of the Pritzker Prize (an analogue of the Nobel Prize in architecture). In this project, the architect has combined oriental traditions and modern design. 

catamaran louvre

The museum comprises more than 50 snow-white pavilions and covered passages separated by many water channels and boasts a huge openwork dome, which is a true architectural marvel. The dome is made of durable materials (steel, iron, and aluminium) and seems to be woven from white lace. It creates a shadow that resembles “the shadow of date palms in an oasis”, and visitors feel as if the museum is under the open sky on the high seas.

To get more information and book an electric catamaran ride, please visit the official website of Louvre Abu Dhabi .

Among the other exciting activities offered by the museum are a drawing class and the Art History Walks Series . You can also watch Mindful Art Moments (a series of videos of three artworks from the museum collection) and a webinar studying the role of art engagement in museums and galleries to improve one’s health and well-being.

Artist residencies

The Art Explora Festival is a project for exchange, dialogue and cultural cooperation on a Mediterranean scale. As part of its mission to support contemporary creation, the festival will develop a programme program of cross-regional residencies. The curators associated with the project are inviting artists, scientists and researchers from the various countries crossed by the Art Explora Festival to take part in residencies on board the ship, then in another Mediterranean city for a month. Over thirty artists from fifteen Mediterranean countries will have the opportunity to develop their project and travel to another country in the region. These residencies will enable artists to create a narrative around this Odyssey, and support mobility and contemporary Mediterranean creation through a vast network of residencies, institutions, curators and artists.

SAILING: A WORK IN ITS OWN RIGHT

At the invitation of the Foundation, French contemporary artist Laure Prouvost has designed a set of sails for the museum boat, evoking these aerial lands with sagacity and delicacy, taking us into spaces unencumbered by spatial and mental freedoms.
