South East Asia Cruise Deals


With its sweeping coastlines, bustling cities and vibrant, green landscapes, it's no surprise South East Asia cruises are growing in popularity. With itineraries typically lasting between 7 and 14 nights, you'll have plenty of time to get to the heart of this part of the world, and if you'd rather extend your cruise you can always choose a cruise and stay package, giving you longer to explore at the beginning or end of your journey. What's more, with so many cruise lines sailing in Southeast Asia, you can choose from a river cruise, expedition cruise or even a tall ship voyage.

Best time for a South East Asia cruise

Covering such a huge land mass, the climate in Southeast Asia varies drastically between countries and regions. However, to make the most out of the dry weather, most cruises operate from November to March, although if you travel at the beginning or end of the season fares are likely to be lower and destinations less crowded.

What to do during a cruise around Southeast Asia

No matter how you're looking to spend your cruise, Southeast Asia really does have it all. For the adventurous type there's plenty of opportunity to get out and explore, from watersports off the stunning coastline to hikes through the tropical scenery. Alternatively, if you'd like to learn more about the history of the countries across Southeast Asia, there are plenty of ancient temples and historical monuments to discover, as well as thriving cities which throw you deep into local life. However, a cruise doesn't have to be completely fast-paced, so if you'd rather take it slower you could always spend a few hours lounging on the beach and lapping up the sunshine.

Top Southeast Asia Cruise Destinations and Shore Excursions

South East Asia cruise to Bangkok
