We take you to places you’ve only dreamed about or seen in the movies or read in books. Our chefs are one of the best in the world serving scrumptious buffet that can rival even the Michelin-rated land-based restaurants. We hosted lavish weddings, debuts, reunions, and birthday parties, or intimate engagement dinners for when one of our guests pop the question. There’s no small detail that we haven’t thought about, and no personal need of any of our passengers that we haven’t anticipated.

Our restaurant has a panoramic 360-degree view, which gives you an unobstructed sight of what the world outside of your borders has to offer.

Depending on your cruise, we will visit historic cities, ancient municipalities, world’s greatest beaches, romantic destinations, and Virgin Islands. We immerse in different cultures, soak in local customs and traditions, and sample local cuisines. Every day is an adventure when you travel with us.

The fact is that an ocean or river cruise is the last thing that families choose when they go on a trip. There’s a misconception about the cruise being very expensive, or only for old people and retirees. But more and more people have discovered the value of going on a cruise. For instance, the revenue of the cruise industry since 2008 already reached more than $35 billion. Guests, meanwhile, spend an average of $1,700 for each cruise.

Here’s what your money can buy when you take a voyage with us:

• All accommodations, food and amenities are free of charge (you save money on hotels and food)
• You get free connection to a Wi-Fi allowing you to update your social media accounts of your trip
• You get shuttled from the vessel to the downtown area, and vice versa
• You get free beverages (as long as it’s not alcoholic)
• Liquor prices are discounted, including wines which cost about half with us compared to when you buy them on shore

With all the activities lined up in any of our vessels, you won’t have time to be bored. Perception aside, most of our guests are young and active (although we do love our retirees), and they want to mingle and socialize.

Here are some of the activities during the duration of your trip:

• Yoga and Pilates
• Gym and aerobics
• Movies or the Dreamworks experience
• Plays and lectures
• Fitness classes
• Dancing and music
• Kids’ play areas
• Ice skating
• Mini golf
• Outdoor movie screen as you soak in the pool
• Rock climbing
• Play basketball, tennis and volleyball

When you dine at our restaurant, it’s like being pampered in a Michelin-rated bistro. This is one of the reasons why you get great value for money when you go into an ocean or river cruise because you always get treated to a delectable feast.

Every day is an adventure for your eyes and taste buds. We always like to surprise our guests with a mouthwatering spread that they subconsciously look forward to meal time every time they are on board the ship.

• Authentic Italian cuisine at Giovanni’s Table
• Get a taste of the international cuisine at the Windjammer’s café
• Premium cut steaks at Chops Grille cooked just the way you like it
• Burgers and fries in the ‘50s-themed café at Johnny Rockets
• Have a perfect cup of coffee at Café Latte-Tudes
• Grab a beer or pint at the English Pub or the Schooner Bar

You want cooking or baking lessons for you or your kids? We can certainly arrange that!

Our knowledgeable chefs and instructors will accompany you in one of the tours for an explosion of senses. Not only will you get to sample the local cuisine on the shore, you will also leave with a new appreciation of the customs and culture of the area through food.

Or how about a food truck? You won’t ever look at hotdogs the same way again with our SeaPlex Dog House, where gourmet hotdogs are served.

• 5-star accommodations at a fraction of a price
• Elegant interior that reminds you of a 5-star hotel
• Luxurious bed and linens that guarantee a good night’s sleep each time
• Massages and reflexology services on call to soothe those tired muscles and nerves
• Almost 1:1 in staff to guest ratio

But really, you don’t take a cruise just to be stuck on the ship in the vast ocean. No matter how much we try to get you preoccupied, seeing the same sight everyday can quickly get monotonous. Don’t worry. Have we got an adventure planned for you!

• 3-Night Malaysia Explorer Cruise – You get to choose between two itineraries: the Penang stopover or the Kuala Lumpur destination. Penang, of course, is one of the oldest places in Malaysia including capital George Town, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. Take your selfie or groupie with the famous Twin Towers as the backdrop while you’re in Kuala Lumpur. Visit Little India and soak in the culture or shop until you drop because of the very cheap prices.
  
  
• 4-Night Isle of Southeast Asia Cruise – You start at day 1 in Singapore and back again to the same dock on the fifth day. Along the way, you also make stopovers in Penang in Malaysia and Phuket in Thailand, which boasts of as among the best beaches in the world with its powdery sand shorelines and turquoise sea. You also get to visit some temples and let your hair down as you sample Thailand’s always lively nightlife.
  
  
• 5-Night Spice of Southeast Asia Cruise – From Singapore, you make your way to Port Klang and Penang in Malaysia until the third day. Then you travel to Phuket and cruise on the fifth day before making your way back to Singapore on the sixth day. Port Klang is the largest port in Malaysia. You can visit museums, temples and sample local cuisine there as you soak in the local culture.
  
  
• 7-Night Spice of Southeast Asia Cruise – You start in Singapore on the first day and end up again on the island on the eighth day. Aside from Port Klang, Penang, and Phuket, you also get to visit Langkawi in Malaysia. Langkawi Island is the largest of the more than 100 Archipelagic terrestrial territories that are nestled in the Andaman Sea. There are so many things to do here from fishing, diving, skydiving, bird-watching, island hopping, spelunking, hiking or just getting your tan on the beautiful beaches. There are 99 islands in Langkawi, with Langkawi Island being the biggest.
  
  
• 7-Night Thailand and Vietnam Cruise – Singapore will still be the port of call. But this cruise will jump off in the historic Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam then proceed to Laem Chabang in Thailand before going back to Singapore. Formerly Saigon, Ho Chi Minh was named after the former chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Vietnam. For war buffs, Ho Chi Minh is a mecca if only for the Cuchi tunnels which became the home of the guerillas during the duration of the Vietnam War. You can also marvel at the architecture and get a glimpse of its French colonial past. Laem Chabang, meanwhile, is a port city of Chonburi Province just an hour’s drive away from Pattaya. You can visit the Wat Pho, the famed reclining Buddha in this cruise. You will also head off to the Siam Square for fresh food and shopping at bargain prices.
