This appealing, easy-to-take, double-cruise-and-stay holiday from Perth removes all hassle from travel to and around Asia.
There are no airports and no flights – just a 12-night cruise from Fremantle to Singapore, eight nights accommodation in a four-star Singapore hotel with daily breakfast, then a 12-night cruise home from Singapore to Fremantle.
The ships are Princess Cruises all the way and top class: Diamond Princess to Singapore and Sun Princess back home. The cruises visit attractive destinations: Bali, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) on the way to Singapore; and Phuket, Langkawi, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Bali on the way back to Australia.
All shipboard main meals (excluding specialty restaurants) are included and so is most shipboard entertainment.
It couldn’t be easier – and the price is a real bargain.
The holiday, named ‘The No-Airports Asia Express’ and sold by Worldwide Cruise Centres (worldwidecruisecentres.com.au) lasts over a month (34 days) and costs from A$4699 per person twin share. That’s less than A$147 per night. Making it even better, several special bonuses apply.
