Come December, it’s always a race to finish up everything that needs to be done, so travel plans might be the last thing on your mind. But with most flights and tours fully booked, planning a last-minute getaway that’s not just a drive up to Johor Bahru might be a tad difficult. Then again, nothing is impossible – and as proof of that, here are two fabulous cruise adventures in the region put together by Asian luxury line Dream Cruises on the gorgeous Genting Dream. The best part? It comes with a festive twist.
Island Escapade
Newly launched this December is the Island Escapade, a five-night trip to three destinations in Malaysia and Thailand. Start from homeport Singapore aboard the Genting Dream before reaching your first stop in Port Klang on the second day. Guests can disembark for a quick trip around the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur for shopping and sights.
Then, the cruise takes you towards George Town, one half of the UNESCO World Heritage site on the Straits of Malacca, where you’ll be able to delve into the rich culture behind the trading port. On day three, you will head to the gold sands of Patong Bay in Phuket, Thailand before cruising day back home after that whirlwind adventure. Psst, we hear the cruise’s onboard entertainment is nothing short of mindblowing.
Travel Period: 12 December 2017 – 25 March 2018
Treasures of Indonesia
If you’re planning a trip to neighbouring Indonesia this month, why not consider sailing down to two of its towns instead? Also for five nights on the Genting Dream, the trip takes you down to the port city of Surabaya for its first stop, where you can immerse yourself in museums and exotic cuisine for a day. The ship then makes a second port at Celukan Bawang, Bali, where black sand beaches beckon.
On the two cruising days between Singapore and the Indonesian islands, folks looking for a good time can check out Genting Dream’s own night and beach clubs under the Zouk umbrella, where there are bowling alleys, pool tables, signature cocktails and parties galore – under the stars, no less. Then, retire to your spacious accommodation, whether it’s the cosy Inside Stateroom, private Balcony Stateroom, grandiose Dream Executive Suite, or the mega extravagant Garden Penthouse.
Travel Period: 12 December 2017 – 18 March 2018
And of course, whichever trip you choose, Christmas markets, festive feasts, and seasonal workshops will kick the festivities up a notch, culminating on New Year’s Eve with fireworks! Live performances indoors will slowly make its way to the deck for the countdown, with spectacular fireworks on Genting Dream to welcome 2018.
