10 Major Cruise Ports in Asia

Asia is a land of spices, rustic charm, and an amalgamation of several cultures, cuisines, and religions. It is crowded and vibrant in several aspects. The ever-changing landscape, terrain, languages, and age-old traditions attract tourists worldwide to experience Asia. 

While one can book a flight from the UK or the US straight to Singapore, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, or Hong Kong, the best option is a cruise voyage. As they say, the journey is more beautiful than the destination. One can choose from many itineraries ranging from a two-week trip between Hong Kong and Singapore while stopping at Vietnamese ports or exploring the Indonesian islands. 

Many cruise ships frequent Thailand, Malaysia, China, and South Korea. Myanmar and Japan are emerging cruise destinations in Asia. The cruise season in Asia lasts from November till March. Some cruise companies, such as Chinese companies that target local markets, offer year-round services. 

Let us have a look at the ten major cruise ports in Asia.

Table of Contents

1. Tanjung Benoa Cruise Port, Bali

Indonesia is lined with paddy fields, steep slopes, fruit plantations, welcoming people, and unique Buddhist architecture. Bali is a resort vacation that offers several tours and exciting excursions. The most exciting cruises in the itinerary fall in line with Nyepi day or the Balinese New Year in March.

The principal port of Bali, Indonesia, Tanjung Benoa cruise terminal, is assessed by a three-mile channel. It has an eastern and southern berth for accommodating two cruises simultaneously. 

The cruise terminal hosts famous cruise lines, including the Royal Caribbean, Cunard, Costa, Celebrity Cruises, and P and O Australia. More than 50,000 foreign tourists visit Bali on a cruise every year, boosting the local economy, which is almost entirely based on tourism and related services. 

The modern terminal building is endowed with all the facilities. An added advantage is the port’s proximity to famous places such as Sanur, Denpasar, and Nusa Dua. 

Most cruise ships dock near Berroa town. Take a taxi to explore Ubud Monkey forest and Taro Elephant Safari Park. Adventure lovers can go rafting on the longest river on the island and relax in resort hotels. Denpasar airport is around 11 kilometers from the port.

2. Laem Chabang Port, Bangkok

The Laem Chabang cruise terminal serves the capital of Thailand. Bangkok is an enchanting city on the Chao Phraya River close to the Gulf of Thailand.

 Thailand is the only Asian country that was never colonized and was founded in 1782 by King Rama I. Nationalistic in essence; the people call their country ‘Muang Thai’- The land of the Free. 

Bangkok is known for its gold spire Buddhist temples, ancient architecture, canals, mountains, and the traditional lifestyle unhindered by western influences. 

The large cruise ships are welcomed at the Laem Chabang International terminal, 25 minutes from Pattaya. This terminal has food and beverage kiosks, an information center, a duty-free zone, and souvenir shops. 

Small cruise ships use the second cruise terminal, called the Khlong Toey. It was opened in 1947 and functioned as the principal cruise port till 1990. It is close to the city center and the food market. 

3. Ha Long Cruise Port, Vietnam

Vietnam is a land of misty hills, glistening rice plantations, high waterfalls, sparkling white sand beaches, and clear waters. It is a nature’s paradise and home to beautiful towns and cities. Vietnam is also renowned for producing the cheapest beer in the world. Bia Hoi is locally brewed without any preservatives and is said to be good for health if consumed properly.

Given its merits, Vietnam is a famous Asian cruise destination. Tourists can visit Hanoi, the capital, from Halong Bay port, Ho Chi Minh, or the Cai Lan port. However, the Ha Long international cruise terminal is the only harbour capable of accommodating the world’s biggest cruises and yachts headed toward Ha Long Bay.

The modern terminal design is inspired by the tranquil and poetic villages of Vietnam, which produce food for the country. It is situated amidst Bhai Chay Tourist hub along the Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The port has six wharves, four for yachts and cruise ships and the other two for the biggest international cruise vessels.

4. Hong Kong Cruise Terminal

Cruise ships in Hong Kong either dock at the Ocean Terminal, close to Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon peninsula, or the Star Ferry Terminal or Kai Tak terminal, the newly built facility located in the heart of Victoria Harbour. The former became operational in 1966 and contains two berths for accommodating cruise ships weighing up to 50,000 tonnes. The latter was constructed in 2013 and welcomes 220,000 DWT cruise ships on its 380 m long cruise berth.

Victoria Peak, the Temple Street night market, and the Stanley market for shopping are famous attractions. One can enjoy harbor cruises or ride on ferries. Many excursions are organized to Lantau island, which houses the monastery containing the world’s biggest outdoor Buddha statues, and Macau, known for its nightlife and casinos.

Hong Kong’s maritime location offers it an added advantage in trade and tourism, two essential revenue streams for its economy. The natural deepwater harbours can berth the most advanced vessels while providing swift services.

5. Port Klang Cruise Terminals, Malaysia

Port Klang is the biggest and busiest port in Malaysia. It has two cruise terminals that receive international cruises. The Port Klang Cruise Centre, owned by the Glenn Marine Group, serves Kuala Lumpur, the capital and one of the most visited cities.

6. Port of Incheon, South Korea

The International Cruise Terminal of Incheon is the gateway to the South Korean capital of Seoul, housing over 10 million residents. It is a center of commerce and tourism. Seoul offers a perfect blend of modernism with traditionalism; bustling streets alongside palace gardens and skyscrapers contrasted with ancient shrines.

Incheon is a historic city, first entered by Westerners in the 1880s. It was also the place where General Douglas Macarthur landed during the Korean War. South Korea has become a preferred destination of travel, owing to the Kdrama popularity worldwide.

The Cruise terminal strives to provide the best customer service and develop an aesthetic passenger facility. It was constructed in 2017 and began operations in April 2019. The terminal covers 7,400 m2 and has two floors, a departure hall, a mobile gangway, an arrival hall, baggage check-in, and an information desk.

The cruise port of Manila has two piers measuring over 450 meters. Once tourists arrive, a small welcoming party is organized by the staff for the tourists and the crew.

Art lovers can explore the Metropolitan Museum of Pinto Art Museum and the many sculpture gardens. Manila is ideal for shopping, and you can find rare pieces of art, clothes, and jewelry at affordable prices.

10. Thilawa Port, Myanmar

The deepsea port of Thilawa is situated 24 kilometers from Yangon. It is known as the Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa or MITT. The cruise ships must sail for three hours upstream before reaching the dock. Most cruise liners offer a shuttle bus service to the port exit. People cannot walk on the port premises since it is a busy commercial facility. 

One of the most famous hotels in Thilawa is the Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon. It is a 5-star hotel offering a royal holiday experience. Yangon is famous for its handicrafts and handmade pottery and clay items. Most of these are made by disadvantaged groups.

Things to Do on a Cruise to Asia

The lands of China, Japan and Korea all have an air of mystery to most Americans. This is because for many years travel was restricted (or even forbidden), so Asian culture is still filled with mystery – and in many instances hasn’t been overwritten by modern technology and trends. That’s not to say that Asia is stuck in a time warp, because with one trip to Tokyo you’ll feel like you’ve been catapulted into the future. Outlined below are some of the top things to do when cruising to Asia and the Far East:

• Take a stroll along the Great Wall of China. The wall was built in several pieces over time, but connected throughout the centuries. Though it’s not really visible from space, it’s still an incredibly large landmark at over 5,000 miles long.  
• Attend a Sumo wrestler tournament in Japan. This traditional Japanese sport has many customs attached to it, and you’ll be surprised at how exhilarating the matches can be.  

• The Forbidden City is the palace complex that was home to China’s emperors from 1420 to 1912. There are a number of exciting artifacts here, so take a tour to get better insight into China’s past.  
• Celebrate with a drink and some karaoke. Japan is the birthplace of this beloved pastime that has been adopted the world over. In Japan, most karaoke is done in a small room with just your friends.  

• Head to Chengdu where the giant panda’s live. You can learn all about these adorable creatures at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.  
• Take a fun trip to the Korean Folk Village just outside of Seoul where you can see what life was like centuries ago in Korea and discover the crafts and skills for which Korea and its people are known.

What’s the culture and history of Singapore?

The island of Singapore was settled by the British in the early 19th century, who then built up the port and encouraged international trade to the area. Singapore gained independence in 1965 and quickly became one of the wealthiest and most expensive places in the world as investments in housing, education, and trade began to expand. Singapore’s culture is a melting pot, known for influences from both Asia and Europe, where you’ll hear residents speaking many languages from English to Mandarin to Tamil. Its warm climate year-round makes it a favorite for tropical weather lovers.

Where can I go shopping near the Singapore cruise port?

Find luxury brands and well-known names when you’re shopping at the Marina Bay Sands Mall, which is just a short 15-minute ride from the cruise center, particularly if you’re interested in high fashion and Singaporean designers. Singapore’s Chinatown is also a must-see for its energy, where vendors not only sell cheap eats at their stalls, but also offer fashion from independent and emerging designers and artists looking to support their craft. Because so many vendors also sell food, you can hop from boutique to boutique and stay close to some of the best food before your cruise from Singapore. 

How can I get around Singapore?  

Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is comprehensive and easy to navigate, not to mention efficient and clean. Hop off at the Marina South Pier station, just a short walk from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre, after spending time in downtown Singapore and the city’s main sights. Of course, taxis are very common in Singapore, but only stop at designated stands to drop you off once you’re in the city to curb traffic and make the drop-off process smoother for the city. Singapore doesn’t host ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft currently. The city’s trishaws are mostly a tourist activity now, so be careful not to pay too much for one. 

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

The official currency of Singapore is the Singaporean dollar (S$). Tipping isn’t common practice in Singapore, and credit cards are considered the norm here. You can find currency exchange at banks and conveniently at the cruise port, called the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore.

Asia's summers tend to be hot and humid – great weather for lounging on a tropical beach, but if you're looking for cooler temps, visit at the end of spring or the start of autumn.

English is spoken and taught in many Asian countries as a second language, but it's always handy to know a few words in the local language to help you navigate the place and culture.

Stop for food at the spots you see crowded with locals: you might have to queue a little, but the busy spots are sure to serve up the best, most authentic dishes.

Cruise port schedule, live map, terminals, news.

Region Australia - New Zealand - Pacific Ocean Islands

Local Time 2024-09-12 10:49

Port Busselton WA cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Busselton WA, Margaret River, Western Australia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Busselton is a port city in Western Australia, with population around 25,000. Busselton is located approx 220 km (140 mi) southwest of Perth (Western Australia's capital city). The town was named after its founders - the Bussell family (four brothers and three sisters) who emigrated to Fremantle from England in 1830. Busselton (as Cattle Chosen) was officially founded in 1835 as one of Western Australia's earliest settlements. Through the city flows the Vasse River.

Since the early-20th-century, Busselton developed as a resort town and received city status in 2012. Today it is best known for the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and its coastline (between capes Yallingup and Naturaliste) popular among tourists for the camping sites and seaside resorts. Besides tourism, the current-day city's economy is also based on winegrowing (Margaret River wine region), commerce (retail shopping), manufacturing, agriculture, commercial fishing.

The city is served by two highways - Bussell (linking to Bunbury and Augusta) and Vasse (to Pemberton) Caves Road is a scenic route linking to Augusta. Buses link to Perth. Busselton Margaret River Airport (in the Yalyalup suburb) serves regularly scheduled domestic flights linking with Melbourne (Jetstar Airways) and also charter flights (by Virgin Australia) linking with Perth, Barimunya, Boolgeeda, West Angelas.

Port Busselton (locode AUBUS) has the Southern Hemisphere's longest pier (wooden jetty) with length 1841 m (6040 ft) out to sea. The jetty was constructed to serve the shipping trade but the port was closed in 1972. The jetty sustained serious damages - in 1978 (by Cyclone Alby) and in 1999 (by fire), but was later restored and improved. Since 2003, the historic pier serves as a tourist attraction offering a train ride and an underwater observatory.

Busselton is the cruise port to Margaret River Town (population around 5,000) famous for its craft breweries and surrounding wineries. The River's coast (to the west of the Town) is a worldwide famous surf break location, with a coastline of 130 km (80 mi) between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Hamelin. Here are also held major surfing competitions. Cowaramup Bombora is a big wave surf break producing some of Australia's largest waves. Margaret River Town is just 9 km (6 mi) to the east of the Indian Ocean. Margaret River Wine Region is well known for its wine production and tourism. Annually, the region is visited by 0,5+ million tourists. Margaret River Wine Region has vineyards covering nearly 55 km2 (21 mi2) and 140+ wineries, most of which are boutique wine producers.

The road distance between Busselton and Margaret River is approx 50 km / 32 mi (via Bussell Highway running north-south/southwest) or at around 40 min bus travel distance.

One of the world's premium wine-producing regions, Margaret River produces only ~3% of Australia's total grape production but holds over 20% of the country's premium wine market. The region is sized 100 km (60 mi/north-south and 27 km (17 mi/east-west). Its soil, climate (lacking extreme temperatures) and humidity levels provide perfect conditions for making dry vintage wines with high-quality fruit flavors. Grape varieties are evenly split between red and white (Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Merlot, Sauvignon blanc, Verdelho).

Another major tourist attraction is Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Of all the several hundred caves, only 6 are open to the public, including the Mammoth Cave located approx 21 km (13 mi) south of the town. The cave is self-guided and with disabled access.
