Marella Cruises and South East Asia

These last couple of weeks have seen Thomson Holidays change to Tui and Thomson Cruises change to Marella Cruises. Not sure why but we will go with the flow.

Anyway, last week they finally released their Winter 2018/2019 programme and I have to say I am particularly excited about one of their new destinations offered on Marella Discovery. You still have the Canary Islands and the Caribbean along with the odd Mediterranean sailings but this should be a real catch for Marella Cruises on one of their most popular ships. South East Asia.

The Marella Discovery will be sailing a few types of itineraries before reaching Asia, from Malaga to Jordan, then Jordan to Dubai, Dubai to Malaysia, with some alternative itineraries in between. Once she reaches Malaysia, Langkawi to be exact, this will be one of two home ports for the next few months. The 2nd home port will be Bangkok.

Tui flights will operate direct flight services from Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester and you will get overnights in both home ports during the cruise.

The ports of call for these itineraries are what stood out for me and most likely a trip I will not be able to resist.

Malaysia – Langkawi, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and  Malacca

Thailand – Bangkok and Koh Samui

But also Singapore, Vietnam and Cambodia.

The prices are amazing too. As with Marella Cruises, the price includes your return flights from selected airport, all overseas transfers and gratuities.. but don’t forget that the Marella discovery is also an all inclusive ship. so drinks too.

Plus to top that the ship will be making it’s way back to Europe late March 2019 and will be offering similar sailings back, so if you fancy it you could include India and the Emirates too.

With prices starting from just over £1700 per person what is not to like?
