10 Great Reasons to Take a Cruise in Southeast Asia
Did you know that cruises generally have the highest reported satisfaction rates of any kind of holiday? Not surprising really, when you consider that cruises have been reinvented over recent years to provide exactly what customers want – modern comfort, quality entertainment, great food and exciting itineraries.
Talking of exciting itineraries, we don’t think there’s a better place to cruise than Southeast Asia. In the Far East you’ll experience an unbeatable mix of culture, stunning scenery and some of the friendliest people in the World.
Here are our top 10 reasons to take a cruise in Southeast Asia:
1. See more of Southeast Asia
With so much to see in the Far East, it’s difficult to decide on which country to choose – by taking a cruise you can see a number of countries in one holiday.
2. Make new friends
Whether it’s in the gym, the casino, a restaurant, or anywhere onboard, if you want to meet new people – you will! You’re all sharing in great experience and people invariably leave with new friends for life.
3. Take the family
Cruise ships, such as the Costa Allegra in Southeast Asia, offer a host of activities and a variety of entertainment for the whole family. Kids can enjoy themselves while parents relax by the pool.
4. Be pampered
Join a Costa Cruise for an oasis of comfort. Enjoy the services of a cabin steward who’s always at your service, an incredible Spa and breakfast (or indeed any meal) served in your luxury cabin. Relax, be pampered and unwind.
5. Fantastic food
Gone are the days when the only dining option on board a cruise was very formal. Cruises now offer a variety of options so you can eat formally or casually, in the open air, in a restaurant or in your cabin – any time of day or night.
6. Only pack once
Cruising is a hassle free way of seeing many places on one holiday and instead of the stress of travelling you can sit back and relax in the spa, enjoy some entertainment, get active with the ship’s sports facilities or simply sit back with a cool cocktail. No contest.
7. Port Excursions
Many believe that taking a cruise means you can’t explore the countries you visit – not true! A host of port excursions are available to ensure that you can really explore the countries you visit.
8. Keeping control of the budget
Most cruises operate on full board basis, meaning that all your meals are included in the price of your cruise. That means you won’t need much spending money when you’re away.
9. Stay in Shape
You can walk around the Promenade, hit the gym, do laps in the pool, play tennis, take a golf lesson plus many other options besides. If you want to stay in shape on holiday, you will! In fact, with so much to do, you’ll probably find you’re in far better shape on return than when you left home!
10. Enjoy the party
From the lively Piano Bar to the exuberant casino, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the evening’s entertainment. And no worrying about getting a taxi home – simply walk back to your cabin at the end of night.
