‘Good Morning Vietnam’

Another ‘Colours & Cultures’ Escorted Group Cruise & Stay Departure

19 Days       September 20th 2008

Dear Shipmates

 

At long last, here’s the news of our next exciting group departure following the many calls from clients wanting to book, no matter where we go, so we are pleased to announce ‘Good Morning Vietnam.’ Why not join us when we discover the charm and colourful cultures of the Far East, especially the up and coming destinations of Vietnam, Borneo & Malaysia, as well as two great stays at Hong Kong & Singapore, pre & post cruise. When it comes to itineraries in this part of the world, there is only one cruise line that we work with, Star Cruises, Asia’s leading Far East specialist.

 

Now I know we usually use Celebrity Cruises on our renowned groups, but with this itinerary we are sailing on the Superstar Gemini, as this is her home and nobody does it better. Now I have to say she is no giant 5* ship, the Gemini is a good 3 star + plus product, with 5 star service and all we hear from clients is that she is the most friendliest ship on the high seas with a crew and staff who are second to none. Unlike the mega-ships, she weighs in at just over 19,000 tons with a maximum of 800 passengers but offers a warm and friendly intimate service taking care of your every need.  Our ports of call are wonderful, offering you a real taste of this ultra-friendly part of the world, rich in cultures, local customs and colour, all individually unique with some very interesting shore excursions, ranging from the Hanoi Highlights with it’s history of the Vietnam war to the world famous Semengoh Orang Utan Rehabilitaion Centre as well as the chance to go white-river-rafting, a certified grade 2 thrill ride (suitable for novices & beginners,) in Kota Kinabalu. These are all tours that you will never ever forget, just look at our exclusive itinerary :
