Princess Cruises announced two new Asia cruise opportunities, offering unique itineraries that explore some of the most alluring ports in the region.
Departing in October and November 2013 aboard Diamond Princess, these 10- and 11-day Asia cruises sail roundtrip from Singapore, taking in some of Southeast Asia’s ports of call, including Bangkok, Bali, Nha Trang and Phuket, as well as two ports not usually visited on Diamond Princess itineraries: Penang, Malaysia and Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
The new cruises are:
Southeast Asia – 11 Days (Departing Oct. 24, 2013):
Sailing roundtrip from Singapore, Diamond Princess will call at Brunei, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Sihanoukville (Cambodia), Bangkok and Ko Samui in Thailand.
Malaysia Peninsula & Indonesia – 10 days (Departing Nov. 4, 2013):
Also cruising roundtrip from Singapore, passengers will explore exotic Bali, Malaysia’s Capital of Kuala Lumpur, Penang (Malaysia) and Thailand’s beach resort of Phuket.
For those with more time, both sailings can be combined into a 21-day Southeast Asia Grand Adventure.
Passengers on these sailings can enjoy shore excursion options that include the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Long Son Pagoda with its bird’s-eye view of Nha Trang, the artisans of Mas Village in Bali and Phuket’s Buddhist temple at Wat Chalong. An overland excursion offers visitors the opportunity to visit the Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
