Asia Cruises with Costa
Far East Asia is a spiritual place, infused with the gods of past and present and the ancient spirits of the land and the family. From inspiring coastlines to snow capped mountains; Far East landscapes hold a closeness and vibrancy that captivates and enchants. In a land where tigers still roam free, nature is still the driving force in the Far East. Star Clippers will operate a winter season in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore from December 2016 to April 2017. This marks the cruise line's return to the region for the first time since March 2010. Star Clipper will end its summer season in the Mediterranean and sail via the Suez Canal and Sri Lanka to its winter home port of Phuket, where it will operate seven-night round trip cruises on two different routes, as well as some voyages to Singapore.
There are two Thailand itineraries, northbound and southbound, as well as seven departures that either begin or end in Singapore. Star Clipper will explore the many islands scattered off the coast of Phuket, accessible only by water, with some of the most beautiful beaches and dazzling marine life in the world. There will be numerous opportunities for sunbathing, snorkeling, watersports and exploring on foot.
