5 Nights Spice Of Southeast Asia Cruise – From Singapore

Given the events over the last few years, having the proper travel documents has been a considerable concern of many guests prior to enjoying a carefree vacation. Passport, visa and inoculation regulations may vary by destination and may change from time to time. For your protection, your passport expiration date needs to be at least six (6) months after the sailing termination date. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel and health documents such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc., that are necessary for air travel, disembarkation at the various ports of call and re-entry into the appropriate country of origin.

Visa

Based on nationality, many countries still require an entry visa. It is the guests’ responsibility to identify and to obtain all the necessary visas before commencing their cruise. 

For Cambodia and Vietnam

All nationalities require visas for Vietnam with the following exceptions: Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

All nationalities require visas for Cambodia with the following exceptions: Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Laos.

Please Note: The following nationalities will find it extremely difficult to secure a visa for Vietnam and Cambodia, whether through us or by themselves; Pakistan, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and Nigeria. 

Inoculation/Health

We recommend that all guests, regardless of their sailing date check with their health care professional or a Travel Medicine Specialist certified by the WHO for guidance. Other informational resources can be accessed at the Centers for Disease Control Traveler’s Health website. 

As detailed in our brochure, all guests must ensure that they are medically and physically fit for travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization website. (WHO) provide guidelines as to which vaccinations are required in each country. In many cases inoculations are recommended, but in some circumstances they are required.

Please remember to bring your passport with you, as well as any other required documents your cruise confirmation email requests. Make sure to have your documents handy in your carry-on bag for easy access. We ask that guests do not pack passports and other required documents in checked bags, as failure to show these documents may result in denial of boarding.

When you’re onboard, the right look will vary by venue, time of day, and activity. Here are a few types of suggested attire you’ll see, and some recommendations for what to bring:
Daytime: Casual
You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, polos, sundresses, and blouses are all the right amount of laid back. Shorts are welcomed for breakfast and lunch, but please keep swimwear to the pool deck.
Evening: Smart Casual
Think of this as a step up from your typical dinner wear. Dress to impress with collared shirts, dresses, skirts, and blouses, or pantsuits. Jackets, sport coats, and blazers are snazzy and welcomed.
