Cruise line to make Asia debut

Voyages of Discovery is swapping Antarctica cruises for Asia in winter 2009-10.

The lineââ¬â¢s single ship Discovery will operate this winter in Antarctica but be redeployed the following winter for a season of Far East cruises. 

Destinations will include Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Hong Kong.  

Add-on tours include a mid-cruise, two-night stay in Agra for the Taj Mahal, three Kenyan safaris and city stays in Singapore, Bangkok and Cape Town.

A 15-day Asian Capitals and Vietnam cruise departing on January 17, 2010, start at Ã&#pound;2,475 per person, including an early booking discount, with stops at Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Ha Lond Bay and Hong Kong.

Early booking savings of up to 50% are available for bookings made at least 90 days before departure. Savings are also available for passengers wanting to combine two or more cruises.

A ââ¬Åâœstrictly limitedââ¬~ number of cabins have no sole occupancy supplement.

A no fuel surcharge guarantee is offered on all future cruise bookings.

Managing director David Yellow said: ââ¬ÅâœFollowing on from the success of our adventurous Antarctica programme, weââ¬â¢ve decided itââ¬â¢s time to offer something completely new and different.

ââ¬ÅâœOnce again weââ¬â¢re blending the unusual with the exotic, but this time Discovery will venture much further east.ââ¬~
