New Asia cruise opportunities from Princess

Princess Cruises has announced two special new Asia cruise opportunities. 

Departing in October and November 2013 aboard Diamond Princess, these 10- and 11-day Asia cruises sail roundtrip from Singapore, taking in some of the best of southeast Asia’s ports of call, including Bangkok, Bali, Nha Trang and Phuket, as well as two ports not usually visited on the ship’s itineraries – Penang, Malaysia, and Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

The new cruises are:

Southeast Asia – 11 days (departing October 24, 2013):
Sailing roundtrip from Singapore, the ship will call at Brunei, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam; Sihanoukville; Bangkok; and Ko Samui.

Malaysia Peninsula & Indonesia – 10 days (departing November 4, 2013):
Also cruising roundtrip from Singapore, passengers will explore exotic Bali; Kuala Lumpur; Penang; and 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 skilled artisans of Mas Village in Bali, and Phuket’s most important Buddhist temple at Wat Chalong. An overland excursion gives visitors the opportunity to visit the magnificent Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
