Seamless Travel Experience In Asia, many cruises start and end at ports with nearby international airports, streamlining your travel. Whether flying in or exploring after your cruise, these airports facilitate easy access to your journey's beginning or next adventure. For instance, Singapore's Changi Airport, a top-ranked global airport, serves as a starting point for many Southeast Asia cruises. Similarly, Hong Kong's International Airport is close to cruise terminals, conveniently pairing city exploration with cruising. With international airports near key cruise ports in Asia, your travel can be smooth and hassle-free from start to end. Cultural Immersion Fly-cruising in Asia is a great way to immerse yourself in the heart of Asian culture. These itineraries often include port calls in culturally rich destinations, allowing you to explore beyond the typical tourist spots. From savouring local cuisine to witnessing age-old traditions, each port brings a new cultural adventure. Additionally, with more extended shore excursions, you can delve deeper into the local culture and explore the vast tapestry of Asian history and heritage.

Top Tips for Fly Cruising Fly cruising has become increasingly popular among travellers exploring different parts of the world. With so much to see and do, it's essential to make the most of your trip and experience all your destination offers. Here are some tips to help you maximise your fly cruising experience. Plan Ahead Before embarking on your fly cruising adventure, research your destination and plan your itinerary accordingly. Immerse yourself in the city's vibrant life for a few days before setting sail on your cruise. Plot out must-visit spots, thrilling activities, and mouthwatering local dishes you're eager to try. Adding these few extra days to your travel plans can also be a great buffer against any unexpected flight delays, turning potential stress into a seamless travel experience and an opportunity for more exploration! Take Time to Explore As mentioned earlier, if you're flying into a new destination, it's worth spending a few extra days exploring the place and the local culture. It's a great way to get your bearings and immerse yourself in the local way of life. Pack Smart When packing for your fly cruise holiday, consider the weather and the activities you'll be doing. Remember to pack comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Also, check with your cruise line to see if there are any dress codes on board the ship. Book your Airport Transfer with the Cruise. When onboard the cruise ship, guests have the luxury of booking an airport transfer for the end of their journey. This extra perk guarantees a smooth shift from sea to land, taking the hassle out of last-minute travel plans and ensuring the adventure flows until you're home.

Cruise holidays are one of the most popular choices for hassle-free travellers, offering a wholesome experience that combines luxury, adventure, and relaxation. From the stunning views of the open sea to the world-class amenities and endless entertainment options, a cruise vacation has something for everyone. However, proper packing is essential to make the most of your time at sea. Bringing the right items can make your cruise experience seamless and carefree, while forgetting key essentials can lead to frustration and inconvenience. As such, we have compiled a comprehensive guide on what to take on your next cruise holiday, covering everything from the necessary travel documents to the most comfortable shoes for exploring exotic ports of call. So, let's get started with our comprehensive guide and walk you through the packing process, ensuring you're well-prepared for an unforgettable adventure. 1. Preparing for your cruise When preparing for a cruise holiday, it's important to be well-informed and ready for every aspect of the journey. Beyond the initial excitement of booking your cruise, you'll need to take time to research and plan to ensure that you have a truly unforgettable experience. Firstly, consider the destinations and port of call on your itinerary. By researching the local culture and climate, you can prepare appropriate clothing and items such as sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent. The length of time spent at each port should also be taken into consideration. If you have longer port hours, you may want to pack a day bag with items like sunscreen, water bottles, and snacks to enjoy your time ashore fully. Conversely, shorter port hours may require lighter packing, allowing for more relaxation on the ship. If you plan a trip with Resorts World Cruises, you can find all the necessary information on Genting Dream's or Resorts World One's itinerary. In the itinerary, you'll find the departure ports, destinations, upcoming travel dates, departure times, and destination port hours. Additionally, consider the number of travel days at sea. If you have more sea days, you may want to bring items for onboard activities, such as books, electronic devices, workout clothes, and swimwear. If you are on a shorter itinerary with fewer sea days, you may want to prioritise packing items that can be used for multiple purposes and only fill for activities and entertainment that are most important to you. For Resorts World Cruises, you can refer to Genting Dream's and Resorts World One's website brochure for all the onboard activities before your cruise. When it comes to onboard activities and entertainment, check with your cruise line for a schedule of events and amenities. This can help you decide what clothing and items to pack, such as dance shoes, clothes for themed parties, and beachwear for poolside relaxation. On top of that, while cruising on Resorts World Cruises' ships, you can look at RW Daily , an onboard digital publication available in your stateroom or lift lobbies . It provides all the information you need, such as shows and performances across different venues, activities, workshops, and dining options, including opening hours and more. Finally, consider the cruise line atmosphere when packing. Luxurious cruise lines may require semi-formal attire, including cocktail dresses and button-down shirts. In contrast, other cruise lines can allow for more dressy casual outfits. Overall, planning and packing with these factors will ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable cruise holiday. Once you have these information, you'll be able to kick-start your packing list. 2. Essential Documents and Travel Essentials Before we get into the fun stuff, it's important to ensure you have all the essential documents and travel essentials packed and ready to go. First and foremost, remember your passport, visa (if required), and cruise tickets. These are the three most crucial documents you'll need for your trip. Double-check that your passport is valid for at least six months from your travel return dates . It's also essential to bring cruise-specific documents such as your boarding pass and reservation confirmations. Travel insurance is another critical document to have with you during your cruise vacation. This type of policy can cover unexpected events during your trip, such as trip cancellation, medical emergencies, and even lost luggage. It offers peace of mind and financial protection, so you can enjoy your vacation without worrying about unplanned expenses. When it comes to packing valuable or essential items, be sure to keep them in your carry-on bag. Packing them in your carry-on ensures you have access to them throughout the trip, and they won't be lost or damaged if your luggage gets misplaced. In conclusion, remember to pack all the necessary documents and travel essentials to ensure a smooth, hassle-free, and enjoyable cruise vacation. And remember to always keep these items in a secure, easily accessible place. 3. Packing clothes for a cruise trip When it comes to packing clothes for your trip, many factors must come into play when choosing your wardrobe options. You'll need to consider the climate of your destinations, the planned activities, and the dress codes enforced by your cruise line. It's important to note that the climate varies from port to port and can change any time. Therefore, pack clothes that cater to both indoor and outdoor temperatures. For example, if your cruise destination includes tropical locations, pack lightweight and breathable clothing items such as, - T-shirts - Shorts - Dresses (preferably made from cotton, linen, or rayon) - Rain jacket or umbrella If your itinerary includes colder climates, pack layers of warm clothing such as, - Sweaters - Long pants - Jackets - Warm socks Apart from considering the climate of your destinations, it would help if you also packed appropriate clothes for your planned excursions and activities onboard. - Cultural Excursions – Long pants and covered shoes for temples - Food Excursions – Comfortable and loose outfits - Water sports adventures – Rash guards - Hiking – Athletics outfits - High-element activities – Long Sleeves and covered shoes - Foam party outfit – Swimsuit and lightweight cover-ups Cruises often have various dress codes depending on the cruise ship and the number of days of the trip. It is recommended that you pack at least one dressier outfit for semi-formal nights. Semi-formal night attire typically includes cocktail dresses or pantsuits for women and a collared shirt, tie, and dress pants for men. For casual nights, pack dressy casual wear such as a sundress for women and a dress shirt for men. When packing, choosing versatile items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits without taking up too much space is also essential. You can wear a dress for semi-formal and dressy casual for nights by adding accessories such as jewellery, a scarf, or a cardigan. You can also pack blouses that can be worn with shorts, skirts, or pants. Remember to pack essential accessories such as sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and pyjamas. Bring a separate laundry bag to separate your dirty clothes from your clean ones. If you plan to work out during your vacation, pack your workout clothes, running shoes, and headphones. In conclusion, packing for a cruise requires planning, research, and thoughtful consideration of the activities and destinations. Pack clothing items that are versatile, lightweight, and wrinkle-free. Remember to balance fashion with function, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy your cruise! 4. Cruise Cabin Essentials Packing on a few cabin essentials can offer a more seamless and comfortable trip. Basic amenities may be available onboard . However, you may bring your preferred toiletries and personal care items for comfort. To maximise storage space, consider bringing magnetic hooks, over-the-door organisers, and plastic bags for dirty laundry. Travel adapters and chargers are also necessary for any electronic devices and cameras. On Resorts World Cruises' ships, our cabins offer USB charging ports by the bed and type G and type I electric sockets. However, do note that due to safety reasons, power extensions are not allowed onboard. By remembering these essentials and adequately packing them, you can enjoy a hassle-free and comfortable cruise experience. 5. Health and Safety Items Health and safety items are essential for anyone embarking on a cruise vacation. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned cruiser, it is essential to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. These may include a well-stocked first aid kit and prescription medication for common ailments such as headaches, colds, and allergies. Motion sickness is a prevalent issue among travellers, especially when cruising. To address this concern, travellers can consider motion sickness remedies such as ginger, Dramamine, or Sea-Bands. Alternatively, free motion sickness pills are available at the onboard clinic if you are on Resorts World Cruises' ships. By being prepared and taking necessary precautions, you can ensure an enjoyable and safe vacation. 6. Entertainment and Leisure Entertainment and leisure are vital aspects of a cruise vacation. Even though there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained from day to night with production shows, workshops, special activities, and facilities, you can still bring a few things for your leisure time, such as electronic devices and chargers to books, e-readers, and audiobooks for relaxation. Be sure to download movies, books, and games before your trip. Alternatively, you can pack travel games like Scrabble or Cards Against Humanity for activities with friends. 7. Practical Tips Preparing for a cruise involves packing, and to ensure hassle-free travels, it's important to pack efficiently, maximise luggage space, and avoid exceeding weight limits. However, on Resorts World cruises, you will never have to concern yourself with this as there are no baggage and weight limits. In conclusion, a cruise vacation is an excellent way to unwind, have fun, and explore new parts of the world. With proper planning and packing, you can ensure that your experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Remember to research your itinerary and destination, pack versatile clothes that cater to indoor and outdoor temperatures and remember essential documents such as your passport and travel insurance. Additionally, keep in mind the dress code guidelines and plan accordingly. With these tips, you'll be ready to set sail on a one-of-a-kind adventure that will create lasting memories. So, get packing and get ready for an unforgettable journey of a lifetime!

Delicious mooncake treats and flavourful English and Chinese teas will be overflowing, too! 2. UWeekly 22nd Anniversary Cruise (24–27 Sep) DJs | Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Music, entertainment, and nonstop fun: Cruises will typically have all three, but if you hop aboard Genting Dream in the last week of September, expect some extra treats. Singapore lifestyle magazine UWeekly will be celebrating its 22nd anniversary at sea with Mandarin music station UFM 100.3, taking cruise passengers of all ages on the most exciting expedition. Besides the usual privileges you’ll enjoy on an all-inclusive tour — and there are a lot — joining the UWeekly anniversary journey involves additional perks.

Tips for multigenerational cruises Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Official Website Plan your vacation ahead of time. To get the best deals and staterooms, you’ll want to start vacation planning way before your scheduled tour date. It’s especially crucial to make reservations in advance if you’re interested in joining themed cruises and events. Pick the right ship. After all, you want every member of the family to have fun. Look for ships with the right facilities and activities for both kids and senior citizens. Schedule activities together, too! In your desire to ensure everyone’s having fun, you might forget the most important activity: family bonding. Sure, the kids should enjoy their playtime; adults need a bit of quiet adults-only moments, too. But make sure you’re spending time together on these cruises, too, whether that means family dinners or family-oriented events. Multigenerational vacations promise a memorable experience for the entire family. From fun-filled activities for the kids to endless opportunities for the elderly to relax, all-inclusive family cruises are value-packed — plus, it’s a great way to bond together away from home!

Peep our tips for a smooth sailing experience at sea. Setting sail for the very first time? Summer is the perfect time for a first-time cruise, with sunny skies and calm waters awaiting travellers. Beyond beautiful weather and stunning seascapes, there’s a lot to love about at-sea vacations: It’s adventure-friendly, good for all ages, all-inclusive, and a fun way to explore new countries. If this is your first time on a cruise, then you’re definitely in for a treat with Resorts World Cruises. Here are a few essential first-time cruise tips to help you make the most out of your getaway at sea. Ready to tick sailing off your bucket list? Make the most of your first-time cruise on the magnificent Genting Dream with amazing discounts in August and September. For a limited time only, book using UOB Cards to get up to S$300 off + an additional S$50 off! Additional $50 off per cabin is limited to the first 600 cabins booked. To avail of these incredible markdowns, use the promo code UOBNATAS when booking your cruise. Other awesome promos: The Palace Bring a Friend for Free, Kids Cruise Free, and Seniors enjoy 5% off . Booking period: 1 Aug – 10 Sep 2023 Sailing period: 1 Aug 2023 – Apr 2024  SAIL AWAY  Must-know tips for your first time on a cruise 1. Start with a short cruise  Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Sailing can take you all around the world, but for your first-time cruise experience, you may want to start with nearby destinations. Try dipping a toe in the water first! That way, you can slowly figure out what parts of the cruise you like — and the ones you’re less enamoured with. If you’re coming from Singapore, Resorts World Cruises is an excellent cruise liner for your first journey on the high seas. Two- and three-night cruises to places like Thailand and Malaysia are the perfect way to test the waters. Even experienced cruise passengers enjoy a quick sailing trip every now and then. Shorter cruises are wallet-friendly and convenient, offering a fun getaway that you won’t have to take too much time off work. Running out of vacation leaves? No problem. 2. Prepare all your travel documents Image credit: Aaftab Sheikh via Canva Pro Going by boat doesn’t mean you get to skip all the paperwork that comes with travelling between countries. Before boarding, make sure all your documents are on hand. A valid passport is always a requirement, but Resorts World Cruises also requires a valid long-term pass and re-entry permit for Singapore residents or a valid visa for foreigners. Each ship will probably ask for different requirements, so it’s best to confirm with your cruise liner or agent before the trip. 3. Pack smart Image credit: martin-dm via Canva Pro Frequent travellers take packing seriously, and it’s no different on a cruise! You want to make sure you have everything you need, after all. Some essentials include personal toiletries, a travel outlet adapter, a power bank, and a day bag for shore excursions. Remember to pack the most important items in your carry-on bag, even for shorter trips. That’s because it can take a few hours to get checked luggage. Medications should always be somewhere you can easily access, along with chargers, sunblock, sunglasses, and a change of clothes. 4. Splurge on luxury options Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Looking for something a little more upscale for a special occasion? Here’s one of our best insider tips for first-time cruise passengers: The Palace. Found in all Resorts World Cruises’ ships, this opulent ship-within-a-ship is an all-suite enclave designed for five-star travellers. A vacation at The Palace promises posh suite accommodations with premium amenities. More than that, The Palace spoils travellers with all sorts of luxury privileges: exclusive access to The Palace Restaurant and The Palace private pool; priority entry to theatre performances, spa facilities, and the Chef’s Table; and a Happy Hour with complimentary drinks. You’ll even enjoy a 24-hour butler concierge service! Embrace luxury travel on the high seas with your best bud at The Palace! From 1 Aug to 10 Sep 2023, cruise passengers can take advantage of Resorts World Cruises’ Bring Your Friend for Free promo. Yes, you can book a stay at The Palace and bring your best pal to enjoy the five-star experience with you for FREE.*  CRUISE WITH A FRIEND  *Terms and Conditions apply 5. Make a game plan for your cruise activities  Image credit: Resorts World Cruises If it’s your first time stepping on a cruise ship, you’ll be surprised at its sheer size and magnitude of onboard activities. Truthfully, these vessels are more like full-fledged floating resorts than anything else! Spend your first hours aboard reviewing the map of the ship and exploring the various areas. It’s best to know where everything is — and what amenities you can enjoy on the ship. For example, endless fun activities await on the premier cruise ship Genting Dream. Pristine cabins and suites aside, there are swimming pools, a waterslide park, a ropes course, a zipline, a theatre, and even a beach club for nighttime escapades. Travellers on a two- or three-day trip will have no problems filling their itineraries to the brim. (Although, relaxing poolside for two straight days is fine, too, if that’s your kind of vacay!) Tip: Leave time for shore excursions, too! Cruises are mostly about the journey, but surely, it’s also a little bit about the destination, right? 6. Plan your meals well Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Official Website Foodies on their first-time cruise, rejoice! You’re not a castaway here, so there’s no getting hungry on a cruise. Each trip with Resorts World Cruises is inclusive of multiple meals daily. Eat as much as you want at the halal buffet restaurant The Lido or the semi-buffet dining establishment The Dream Dining Room. Guests at The Palace will also enjoy dining at the exclusive restaurant within the all-suite enclave. Planning to try speciality dining experiences? There are plenty of choices, too, from fine dining at Silk Road Chinese Restaurant to Japanese and Korean favourites at Umi Uma. Just make sure you book early — it’s easy to run out of tables at these popular restaurants. 7. Join a themed trip for a unique first-time cruise experience Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Official Facebook Page Here’s the thing: Not all cruises are created the same. If one-of-a-kind experiences float your boat, then a themed cruise might be right up your alley! There are a wide variety of special-interest cruises available for a limited time, from carnival-themed trips to food festivals at sea. Sailing the open ocean is memorable enough on its own, but finding a fun theme to enjoy at sea takes a first-time cruise up a notch! Upcoming themed journeys with Resorts World Cruises include the UWeekly 22nd Anniversary (24–27 Sep 2023) with karaoke nights, games, and an anniversary dinner. If live performances are more your speed, hop aboard a Getai Theme Cruise (11–13 Oct 2023) for a two-hour Getai Music & Comedy Show that offers top-notch entertainment. And more fantastic celebrations are slated for the year, including the Halloween extravaganza Halloween At Sea and holiday festivities at the Xmas Wonderland.  MORE CRUISE EVENTS  8. Be ready for cashless payments Image credit: Georgi Dyulgerov Although most cruises are all-inclusive, travellers should be prepared to shell out some money for extra activities they may want to indulge in onboard. It’s always a good idea to check the types of payment methods available on the cruise you’re joining. For instance, Resorts World Cruises accepts Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, GrabPay, AliPay, WeChat Pay, and KakaoPay. At the same time, make sure you have a little cash on you for gratuities and additional expenses during shore excursions. 9. Prep for seasickness Image credit: Ryan Johns First-time cruise passengers should be prepared for motion sickness, even if large modern cruise ships are far more stable than sailing in old-school boats. But don’t let this keep you from enjoying the journey; there’s over-the-counter medication you can buy to prevent you from getting seasick. If you get a sudden bout of motion sickness during the cruise, step outside your cabin. Fresh air and gazing at the horizon can help! Travellers prone to seasickness may also want to pick a cabin or suite around the middle of the ship where the rocking isn’t too much of an issue. 10. Keep an eye out for cruise deals Image credit: Resorts World Cruises Cruises are already pretty affordable for an all-inclusive getaway, but it’s even more budget-friendly if you book one of the many great cruise deals around. Look around for the best deals and most wallet-friendly prices, so you can maximise the value of your first time on a cruise. Nothing makes us more excited than a great deal, after all! Stick to your vacation budget with Resorts World Cruises’ awesome markdowns with UOB! Enjoy up to S$300 off + an additional S$50 off your first cruise when you book using UOB Cards. Plus, you can get an additional $50 off per cabin if you book the first 600 cabins. It’s as simple as using the promo code UOBNATAS when booking on the Resorts World Cruises website. Booking period: 1 Aug – 10 Sep 2023 Sailing period: 1 Aug 2023 – Apr 2024  SAIL WITH RESORTS WORLD CRUISES  Brought to you by Resorts World Cruises.

Fall in love in the deep blue. Running out of date ideas and seeking the ultimate romantic escapade? Look no further than the high seas. Whether you're wooing a new flame or celebrating an anniversary, an all-inclusive cruise with Resorts World Cruises will enchant and delight. Known for premier ships and resort-style entertainment, the cruise line delivers an experience to remember for travellers eager to journey by sea. But as much as cruises are about adventure and exploration, they're also an opportunity to treat your significant other to your most unforgettable romantic date yet. Not yet convinced? Here are some of the top reasons why you should start planning a cruise for your next couple's getaway. 1. Spectacular views When you're on a ship, you're surrounded by the ocean 24/7. That means couples can count on a panoramic natural backdrop for their love story (and Instagram updates) all day and all night. From secluded beaches and the open sea to charming coastal towns and the glittering stars at night, the views from a cruise ship are a feast for the eyes. Sprawling decks on the Resorts World Cruises vessels promise breathtaking seascapes. But if you want your own slice of paradise, treat yourself and book a Balcony Stateroom on the Genting Dream or a Palace Suite on Resorts World One. Private sunset moments? Yes, please. 2. Luxury experiences at The Palace for five-star couples If you're willing to splurge a bit more to pamper your special someone, Resorts World Cruises delivers a signature five-star experience with The Palace. The all-suite private club is an extra-luxurious world on the ship — and it goes beyond just the elegant suite accommodations. Guests of The Palace are treated like royalty with 24-hour butler concierge services and a private lounge to chill in. They're also given access to exclusive areas, including a pool and Jacuzzi area, Palace Restaurant, and Palace steamroom and sauna. If the occasion calls for something extra special, The Palace can provide. Trust us when we say this one's proposal-worthy. 3. Extended dates Take your partner on a cruise and you won't have to say goodbye after a movie and a dinner. Rather, you can have date night every night on the ship — and then continue where you left off as soon as you wake up! Dress up for a delicious meal at one of the specialty restaurants, and lounge poolside enjoying each other's company. If you and your significant other find it a challenge to spend quality time together at home, then a cruise presents the perfect opportunity to reconnect! 4. Making memories in new destinations There's nothing quite like seeing the world with your favourite person, don't you think? Not only is the adventure more fun with The One by your side but travelling as a couple can help create deeper bonds and more meaningful memories together. It's also a great way to speed up the getting-to-know-you phase if you haven't been together for very long — they say you never really know someone until you travel with them! With Resorts World Cruises, you'll get to explore some of Asia's most amazing destinations, from the white-sand beaches of Thailand to the vibrant foodie scene of Malaysia. Other destinations include China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. 5. Incredible dining options If the way to a man or woman's heart is their stomach, then your partner is bound to fall head over heels in love after a day or two on Genting Dream. The resort-style cruise ship features 35 restaurants and bars onboard, with crowd-favourite The Lido buffet restaurant standing out as the only halal-certified dining spot on a cruise in Asia. Sister ship Resorts World One also delivers a fantastic foodie experience: It has a diverse array of complimentary and specialty restaurants that primarily serve flavourful Asian cuisine. 6. Enjoy world-class amenities on a floating resort Whether your partner is an adrenaline junkie eager for thrilling activities, a leisurely traveller seeking a relaxing break, or an explorer keen to see new cities, Resorts World Cruises' tours allow couples to make the most of vacation time aboard their ships. Love thrills and spills? The Rope Course and Zipline on Genting Dream is a one-of-a-kind feature geared towards thrill-seekers. Need a little couple's pampering? Crystal Life Spa is your stop. And if you're just after a bit of swimming and sunbathing, Parthenon Pool on Resorts World One is the hangout spot we'd love to spend all day in. 7. Everything is taken care of When you're planning a romantic getaway, you want it to be stress-free, of course. Nothing sours romance more than a failed itinerary! Luckily, tours with Resorts World Cruises lift the burden of planning, managing, and coordinating your trip off your shoulders. With their all-inclusive packages, travellers can rest assured that most expenses are covered, transportation is seamless, meals are provided, and all you need to do is pack and show up. The only thing the cruise liner can't help you with is romancing your partner. So, do you want to take your relationship to the next level? Set sail on Resorts World One or Genting Dream for a memorable cruise with Resorts World Cruises with your special someone. Brought to you by Resorts World Cruises.

Take a few days off and set sail on the ultimate tropical cruise to Phuket. Pristine white beaches, dreamy isles, and vibrant cultural gems, it's no wonder why so many travellers can't get enough of Phuket. Thailand's Andaman Coast is the ultimate summer destination, a place where a blissful postcard getaway is never out of reach. Coming from Singapore and Malaysia, the best way to get immersed in this blissful tropical landscape is by exploring it by water. Even for first-time sea voyagers, cruising Phuket is exceptionally glorious: It's comfortable and convenient, equipped with everything travellers need when exploring the world. Already imagining your sailing adventure to Phuket? Here's everything you need to know for a journey at sea that's just as magical as your Thailand destination. Planning a cruise to Phuket Getting there Sail to a tropical paradise with Resorts World Cruises' three-day cruises to Phuket from Singapore and Port Klang, Malaysia. Travellers in Malaysia can kick off the cruise from Port Klang, head to Singapore, and then sail off to Phuket before returning to Port Klang. On the other hand, a Singapore cruise to Phuket will take passengers straight to the mesmerising island of Thailand. Either way, Resorts World Cruises will take you on an unforgettable sightseeing tour. If you're coming from Port Klang, you'll even enjoy exploring the shores of two countries! Best time to cruise Phuket Whether you're in town to swim, shop, or soak up the sun, Phuket is a year-round tropical destination. Even when there's rain in Thailand — the monsoon season is usually from May to October — tourists will typically see rain showers interspersed with plenty of sunshine, too. Thus, you can pretty much enjoy exploring and cruising in Phuket any time of the year! Meet your ride, Genting Dream What better way to make the most of your vacation time than by starting the adventure literally the moment you step on board? It's the best thing about cruising to Phuket or other places: You don't have to wait to get to your destination to get the party started. With a holiday cruise, a ship is more than just a means of transportation — it's the first destination of your whirlwind adventure! And we can't ask for a better ride than Genting Dream. One of the biggest ships sailing Asian waters, Genting Dream feels like a floating resort. It's decked out with plush rooms and fancy suites, exceptional dining spots, exciting nightlife options, and world-class recreation and entertainment. Dining and entertainment Although you're cruising to Phuket, don't be surprised if your time onboard ends up being one of the highlights of your trip. For one, food and drink are top-notch; the buffet-style Lido is a crowd-favourite, serving a wide array of international cuisine. The only halal-certified cruise in Asia, Genting Dream spoils its diners with delectable halal, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options every meal. Bar City is your stop when you're ready for a nightcap, with the bar's premium wine, whiskey, and cocktail drinks. Party animals typically head to the Zouk Beach Club for pool parties that go on till the wee hours of the night. Expect a night to remember as you dance with fellow revellers to high-octave DJ sets. When it comes to entertainment, Genting Dream doesn't disappoint either. The ship guarantees there's space for everyone, from the Zodiac Theatre for mesmerising ballets to the 6 Waterslide Park for exciting and splashy escapades in the water. Cruise passengers who are up for even more thrills will be psyched to find an entire rope course aboard the ship. There's even a zipline for anyone who wants to take their adrenaline rush to the next level. Prefer to be pampered? Indulge in "me time" at the tranquil Crystal Life Spa, where professionals will treat you to Asian and Western spa treatments that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated. Incredible accommodations Balcony Stateroom After sightseeing in Phuket and exploring the magnificent Genting Dream, you deserve a perfect night's sleep — so you can do it all over again the next day, of course! Luckily, you'll have your pick of comfy rooms on the ship, from the small yet pristine Interior Stateroom to the sprawling Balcony Stateroom that's appointed with a cosy outdoor terrace over the ocean. Best things to see and do in Phuket Phuket Old Town Image credit: adisa via Canva Pro It's easy to get lost in the delights of Genting Dream but Phuket is just as much of a dream to explore. Bask in the vintage, old-world vibe of Phuket Old Town, a historic quarter teeming with colourful colonial buildings. Now, these beautiful Portuguese- and Chinese-style buildings serve as cafes, boutique shops, galleries, and guesthouses — not to mention, it's a stunning backdrop for travel snaps on the 'Gram! Stay until the sun comes down and you'll see the streets come alive with bustling night markets. Wat Chalong & Big Buddha Image credit: vichie81 via Canva Pro Temples are one of the mainstays of any Thailand itinerary. And so when you're visiting Phuket, make sure you don't miss the largest and most popular one, Wat Chalong. Don't miss dropping by the Grand Pagoda for a peek at the temple's most sacred relic: a bone fragment of Buddha encased in glass. Also worth a visit is the Big Buddha. As the name suggests, it's a massive marble statue perched on a hill in the southwestern part of Phuket. Tourists can catch a glimpse of the massive Buddha statue from kilometres away. But we recommend taking the hike up the hill for a closer look; not only is it much more majestic up close, but the panoramic views from the top are one of the best on the island. Patong Beach Image credit: Gam1983 via Canva Pro You can't go cruising to Phuket and not make your way to a beach. The famous Patong Beach is always a good pick, a white stretch of the coast that's home to sandy shores and, perhaps more notoriously, a legendary nightlife scene. Chase the wildest parties on Bangla Street, where the party is known to go on till morning. Even for travellers who aren't keen on ragers and bars, Patong Beach is a fun stop. Besides the ocean, there are shops and dining spots that are worth exploring. Beautiful islands Bamboo Island | Image credit: Pjjaruwan's Images via Canva Pro What's a tropical getaway without visiting a handful of beautiful isles? Luckily, you'll never run out of islands when cruising around Phuket Province — it's home to 39 tiny ones, after all! It'll take you a couple of trips to see them all, but try to hit a few on your next visit. Off-shore excursions in Phuket with Resorts World Cruises include island hopping to picturesque islands like Phi Phi Leh Island, Phi Phi Don, and Bamboo Island. Mouthwatering Thai cuisine Image credit: PUVORA via Canva Pro When in Thailand, you can't miss out on world-class Thai food! It's one of the biggest draws of the country, after all, whether you're visiting the bustling capital or hopping from island to island. Expect a bit of a milder flavour in Phuket compared to the eye-popping spice found in the rest of Thailand, but don't worry — the dishes are definitely just as much of a highlight on this island as it is elsewhere. Phuket Town, as the capital, features some of the best dining spots on the island, from noodle restaurants to street food stalls. On Sundays, the vibrant Phuket Walking Street Night Market in the Old Town is especially famous among locals and tourists, with authentic local delights such as pad thai, satay, fried noodles, noodle soups, and many more. Before leaving Phuket, we also recommend dropping by Cashew Nut Factory for a few bags of one of the island's most beloved products. Ready to seize the day and see the best of Phuket by sea?
