Spice Route Reverie – Saigon, Bangkok & Penang
About this cruise
Clear the calendar from January 20, 2028. This one's 14 nights from Singapore, and the route visits Phuket, Pulau Penang Island and Pulau Langkawi Island, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. 3 countries (Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam) across the Southeast Asia, each with its own character. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Diamond Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. You start in Singapore and come back with stories from Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.
