2. Fly-Cruise Tour and high-end travel services on international cruises
Most cruise ships that travel internationally combine with airlines to create a new type of tourism: “fly-cruise tour.” This is a harmonious combination of two means of transportation – airplane and luxury cruise ship in one tour program. From Vietnam, tourists go to an intermediate Asian country in the tour program by air to start the long journey, enjoy the high-class amenities on a 5-star ship and explore different unique cultures at each stop.
Tour prices from travel companies typically include airfare, airport taxes and surcharges, port transfers, cruise ship packages, sightseeing fees, meals, checked baggage, and travel insurance.
For special cruise tours that do not include airfare, you can still book discounted airfare through the cruise's partner airlines. When booking a tour, you should carefully ask the cruise consultant about the free pick-up service to the right cruise when leaving the port. That way, you just need to go to the meeting point to get to your cruise.
3. Note before boarding: Prepare health and Visa
When deciding to travel by boat, you should consult your health status before going, clearly understand the risks that may occur when traveling in different countries. In case of seasickness, you can have a cup of hot ginger tea or a cup of green tea. This drink can help you feel better and more alert. You can also use the medical support products on the ship or bring your own to avoid seasickness.
Some countries on your cruise require you to have a visa. Cruise companies or travel agents can assist you with obtaining a tourist visa while you are in another country. You can also apply for a visa yourself at the consulate of the country you want to visit.
4. Enjoy free services on the cruise
The price of a cruise cabin always includes on-board amenities such as on-shore transportation, three-meal meals, drinks such as tea, coffee, milk, and fruit juice. In addition, the rich Asian-European culinary world from buffet to a la carte, from fast food to snacks will satisfy the most demanding tourists. However, you need to pay attention to the right restaurant serving buffet meals included in the tour price. Because there are some special restaurants on the boat that serve food exclusively for tourists, you will have to pay for these services. Some cruise tours also include tickets to BBQ parties, or music parties on the sea...
The cruise also brings you from one surprise to another. Outdoor swimming pool, challenging adventure games or indoor entertainment space with a variety of activities from roller skating, sports dancing to relaxation and fitness classes such as GYM, Yoga, Boxing, ... exclusively for active young people.
Elderly travelers can relax quietly in the giant library on the cruise ship and children also have their own world of games that maximize their intelligence and motor skills such as Ocean Exploration, Fashion Design, Game Factory... If you love casinos, you can try your luck at the casino, participate in games of luck, and entertainment such as cards, slot machines...
In addition, on international cruise ships there are also fashion stores of famous brands such as Guess, Coach, Fossil, Chanel... which are extremely ideal for those who love shopping. What is special is that the items here are all tax-free and the discounts often attract many tourists to shop.
5. Discover the wonderful entertainment paradise
And of course, when the boat docks, you should have the port and destination information ready to have interesting sightseeing activities during the day. What's more special, when traveling by sea and docking in countries around the world, the cruise also helps you to visit places that not all air tours can easily organize at the same time. These include the pristine island of Langkawi in Malaysia, the peaceful island of Mallorca in the land of bulls or the dynamic city of Sapporo in Japan. You should pay attention to the arrival and departure times of the cruise at each destination to return on time, usually having to be on board 1 hour before the ship leaves the port.
Cruising around the world, you will realize that the joy of traveling is not only to visit famous places, but also to enjoy every moment on the journey to tourist destinations. Instead of being tired for many hours traveling on the plane, you will have more time to enjoy the trip, participating in interesting and classy entertainment activities right on the cruise.
