Trending for 2019: Asia

House of Travel’s Jeff Leckey has spent more time at sea than Captain Jack Sparrow. If he says Asia’s trending, you can bet your buried treasure he’s right.

WHY ASIA? Cruising in Asia is the ideal way to see multiple countries on one itinerary, without any long sea days in between.

CROWD-PLEASERS.The most popular cruises are 5-10 night itineraries, taking in Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong. The perfect fusion of East meets West.

GO SHORT. Shorter Asia cruises out of Singapore will often include Penang, Langkawi and Phuket, giving you a taste of three countries and three different islands to explore.

GO LONG. Longer Asia itineraries may include Bali, the Philippines and some of the remoter islands in Indonesia and Malaysia.

EXPLORE.There are exciting optional shore excursions on offer, allowing you to explore bustling cities, history, culture and many ancient temples. As well as plenty of opportunity to sample amazing food and flavours.

VISAS. Cruise lines will often take care of visas required for Vietnam and Cambodia, but wherever you’re sailing to, ask your consultant how to make the entire visa process seamless.
