Travel Tips for Cruising in Asia
Visas & Entry Requirements
-
Some countries (like Vietnam or India) require a visa — even for cruise passengers.
-
Always check with your cruise line or government travel advice before departure.
-
Many ports allow visa-free day entry when arriving by ship — but it varies by country.
Currency & Payments
-
Local cash is handy for small purchases or markets — especially in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
-
ATMs are widely available in port cities, but check for international card support.
-
Many vendors now accept cards or mobile payments in major cities like Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
Getting Around
-
Many ports offer shuttle buses or taxis into city centres.
-
In places like Bangkok (Laem Chabang) or Ho Chi Minh (Phu My), expect a longer transfer to main attractions.
-
Public transport in cities like Tokyo, Singapore, and Busan is excellent — clean, efficient, and safe.
Language & Communication
-
English is spoken at most terminals and tourist spots, but having key phrases in the local language is helpful.

Translation apps like Google Translate can be a lifesaver.
-
Signage in cruise ports is often multilingual.

Stay hydrated and pack sun protection!
Cultural Tips

Dress modestly when visiting temples or sacred sites.

Shoes are often removed indoors in Japan, Korea, and some parts of Southeast Asia.
