The good news keeps on coming for Malaysia’s cruise sector following
the announcement by the country’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke that a
technical committee will be established to promote cruise industry
development.
Malaysia is keen to strengthen its position as a homeport
destination, in line with Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism goals to advance
the cruise sector.
“The initiatives to enhance our cruise terminal facilities to
accommodate international cruise ships and streamline immigration
clearance for cruise passengers, mark a significant step forward for
cruise tourism in Malaysia,” said Kenny Cheong, managing director of
Hwajing Travel and Tours.
“In addition to hosting Seatrade Cruise Asia in 2026 – one of the
largest cruise industry events - the targeted improvements to the
cruise passenger experience will position Malaysia as a premier cruise
destination and a key player in South-east Asia’s cruise market,” Cheung
added.
Hwajing Travel is offering a 6D5N cruise onboard the
Italian-flavoured Costa Serena, sailing from Port Klang on 15 December,
to Phu My and Hong Kong. Guests can visit Ho Chi Minh City from Phu My,
Vietnam, before continuing to Hong Kong.
The cruise is priced from RM1599 per person (US$358) coupled with
early bird promotional perks such as “Kids Cruise Free” and 10% off for
seniors, offering value for multi-generational family holidays to
Vietnam and Hong Kong.
There is also a 50% discount on the original price for the third and
fourth passengers. This is a repositioning one-way cruise which excludes
air tickets.
Hwajing Travel is also offering three other voyages in December from
Port Klang, Malaysia: a 4D3N trip to Phuket and a 3D2N trip to Penang.
