Let it snow
You can make your Antarctica/Alpine wish list of skiing, snowboarding, and meeting penguins true without leaving the comfort and warmth of Dubai or bumping into icebergs – the Kempinski MOE is offering guests free access to Ski Dubai when you book any room category until April 30. The package includes access to sledge, ski and toboggan activities in the snow park and the chance to see the daily Penguin March. What makes it doubly better than Antarctica is the Mall Privilege Pack with credit worth Dh5,000 that you can use at stores or the hotel’s restaurants. Visit kempinski.com/dubai

Hoff on Board
Die-hard Baywatch fans, it’s time to leave the beach and hit the high seas: When the Costa Favolosa cruise ship sets sail on November 4, passengers will be joined by the world’s most famous reel-life lifeguard – David Hasselhoff. The Baywatch star – the most-watched man on television – is set to get up close and personal with his fans during the Official Fan Cruise Tour, which will see The Hoff sing West End and Broadway hits, sign autographs, meet and greet fans, and participate in a personal Q&A. The six-day cruise will sail through the Mediterranean Sea, stopping at Savona, Rome, Barcelona and Marseille. Cabins start at Dh3,185 per person (based on inside cabin double occupancy).

BROW WOW

TAG, IT’S YOURS

SLEEP IN IT
The mask-like Ostrich Pillow lets you burry your head in a downy cocoon of polystyrene microbeads that block all light and most sound so you can get your 40 winks anywhere, anytime. It’s an eyemask, neck pillow and sleep pod all rolled in one. The extra openings on top let you slip your hands in for support. From Dh345, amazon.com
