A novel way to take advantage of the boost in Costa Serena cruise tourism

With the Costa Serena returning to its homeport in Port Klang, Malaysia, Hwajing Travel is launching a fantastic new 6-day, 5-night cruise itinerary exploring Vietnam and Hong Kong. This launch aligns with Malaysia’s recent efforts to boost its cruise industry, following Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s announcement about plans to enhance Port Klang as a major cruise homeport.

Who The Cruise Is For

Kenny Cheong, Managing Director of Hwajing Travel and Tours, expressed enthusiasm about the recent joint statement from the Transport and Tourism, Arts, and Culture Ministers. He highlighted the forthcoming improvements to cruise terminal facilities and streamlined immigration processes, which are expected to enhance Malaysia’s appeal as a premier cruise destination.

For those looking to set sail, Hwajing Travel’s new 6D5N cruise on the Costa Serena departs from Port Klang on 15 December. The voyage includes stops in Phu My, Vietnam, where travellers can explore Ho Chi Minh City, and Hong Kong, known for its iconic harbour. Priced from RM1599 per person, this cruise offers early bird perks such as “Kids Cruise Free” and 10 percent off for seniors, making it an excellent choice for family vacations.

More Discounts

Additionally, there’s also a 50 percent discount for the third and fourth passengers. Note that this is a one-way cruise and does not include airfare. In December, Hwajing Travel will also offer three other cruises from Port Klang: a 4-day, 3-night trip to Phuket, and a 3-day, 2-night trip to Penang. The Phuket trip is particularly noteworthy as it is the only cruise from Port Klang to this destination in December, providing an affordable island getaway.

Onboard the Costa Serena, guests can enjoy a range of activities and amenities, from savouring Italian and Asian cuisines at various dining venues to experiencing fun-filled events like the Venice Carnival Party. The ship features authentic Italian pizza at Pizzeria Pummid’Oro and delicious gelato at Gelataria Ciccolateria Amarillo.
