Small Ship Cruises in Thailand

Stunning scenery, delicious food, Thailand has it all and an adventure cruise is the best way to take it all in.

About Thailand Cruises

Thailand is a very popular destination for small ship cruises and island hopping. The Phang Nga Bay area near Phuket is renowned for resembling paradise on earth, while the Similan & Surin Islands off the Thai west coast have their own claim to fame. In the south, the Phang Nga Bay near Phuket is renowned for resembling paradise on earth, including Phi Phi Islands, Krabi, Koh Ha, and Koh Yao Noi. Famous for featuring in Hollywood movies such as ‘The Beach’ and James Bond: ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’, the scenic Phang Nga Bay is dotted with dramatic green, lush, limestone islands adorned with stunning white beaches. There are plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking. Some islands are hollow and can be visited inside at low tide for monkey and wildlife spotting. This is an all-year-round destination where you can explore caves and beaches and climb to island viewpoints to watch the sunset; adventure cruises in Thailand offer it all. Alternatively, cruise around the beautiful Similan and Surin Islands, located northwest of Phuket, 70km from the beach village Khao Lak. Established as a national park in 1982, the islands are well known for their rich birdlife on land plus spectacular corals and diverse marine life underwater, ideal for swimming, diving and snorkeling.

Best Thailand cruises and areas to visit

The two main areas for adventure cruises are northwest of Phuket : the Similan & Surin Islands, and the islands east/southeast of Phuket: Koh Phi Phi , Koh Ha, Koh Lanta, Krabi, and Koh Yao Noi.

Similan & Surin Islands

Located off the west coast of Thailand, the Similan & Surin Islands are a must-visit for their rich birdlife, vivid corals, and stunning marine life. The islands have been declared a national park since 1982. Wavy palm trees and huge boulders align the beaches of the Similan Islands, rendering a beautiful, rugged picture. The Similan Islands consist of 11 islands, all best known by their number. Donald Duck Bay, at the northern end of Island Number 8, is one of the most photogenic spots. It is idyllic, with pristine beaches and unique rock formations that are relatively easy to climb. The scenery of Surin Island, with evergreen forests, mangroves, and small beaches, surpasses even that of the picturesque Similan Islands.

Ko Racha Noi

Located 22 kilometers south of the main island of Phuket and 10 kilometers from its sister island Ko Racha Yai, Ko Racha Noi is a world-famous scenic bay. The waters around Ko Racha Noi are beautiful emerald green and home to scores of marine life, such as lionfish, scorpionfish, stingrays, and barracuda. Exploring the waters around Ko Racha Noi will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who snorkels or dives there, regardless of their level of experience.

Phang Nga Bay - Southern Phuket

Phang Nga Bay is a world-famous scenic bay located east of Phuket and includes the islands south of Phuket. The lush tropical limestone islands with white sandy beaches are great for adventure cruises on small ships as distances are relatively small. Swim and snorkel around the islands of Phi Phi , Koh Ha, Krabi, Koh Lanta, and Koh Yao Noi. Some of the islands are hollow, and at low tide, it is possible to kayak under the island and explore the inside. Enjoy the islands’ tropical jungle vegetation, birds and monkeys, and little villages, and hike up the hills to watch the sunset from a viewpoint or relax on the beautiful beaches.

Railay Beach

If you want to see the Railay Peninsula's beautiful beaches and mountains, then a boat ride from Ao Nang is your only option. Railay Beach  is just a 15-minute trip that will take you all around this peninsula and its incredible natural scenery. The three main beaches on the peninsula are: Railay East, known for its beautiful sunrise, but it's otherwise best avoided, as it is part of a mangrove swamp and doesn't make very nice swimming or sunbathing. Anyone interested in swimming and sunbathing should head westward towards the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Railay West is where we find most restaurants and bars on this side of the island. Several alleys connect it with the east coast.

Best time to cruise in Thailand

Cruising around the Similan & Surin Islands is best from November to May when the Andaman Sea is calm, and the weather is beautiful. The islands of Phang Nga Bay are great for adventure cruises all year round due to their more protected location off the east coast of Phuket. Thailand is famous for its incredible sunsets, especially with the picturesque islands in the background.

How to get to Thailand

Thailand’s capital Bangkok is one of Asia’s major hubs; all major global airlines serve this airport. From Bangkok, it is a short 1.5-hour domestic flight to Phuket, although many airlines fly directly to Phuket as well. Alternatively, you can fly easily into Phuket via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Phuket airport is a 50 min taxi ride to Chalong Pier from where your small ship cruise will depart.

Thailand Cruise Tips

Plan well ahead for your cruise adventure to ensure availability for your desired cruise and choose your trip at the right time of year. The same applies to arranging your flights and transfers; it is best to do that well in advance to avoid non-availability. It is highly recommended to book your flights to arrive in Phuket a little earlier, maybe 1 or 2 days before your cruise departs, to allow for any possible (luggage) delays and/or to get adjusted to the new time zone so you will be well rested. Thailand cruise packing tips include sunscreen, sunglasses, bathing suits, insect repellents, hats, light but long sleeve shirts as the Thai sun can be fierce, and a hoodie for chilly evenings. If you have your snorkeling gear, we recommend bringing it on your cruise as it fits you properly. Most boats also offer snorkeling gear on board, in case you do not have your own. Do not forget to bring a long sleeve shirt and shorts for swimming/snorkeling to avoid sunburn. Travel advice Visitors from most Western countries can obtain a ‘visa on arrival’ single entry stamp that allows them to stay for up to 30 days. Please check with the Thai embassy in your country for more details. Ensure that your passport has a minimum of 6 months validity from the date you will arrive in Thailand. Entry may be refused if a passport is damaged or has missing pages. You may be required to show a confirmed return or onward ticket to leave Thailand within the maximum days you are allowed to stay in the country.

Additionally, visa-on-arrival visitors may also be asked for evidence of adequate finances for the duration of their intended stay, equivalent to 10,000 Thai Baht per person or 20,000 Baht per family. The currency in Thailand is the Thai Baht, which you can withdraw from ATMs all around the country. There are also plenty of exchange booths at Phuket airport and around Phuket. The most commonly accepted credit cards include Mastercard and Visa.

Phuket cruise port

Region Asia

Local Time 2024-04-11 01:37

Port Phuket 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 Phuket, Thailand. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Phuket is a port city and Thailand's only island province, with total population around 420,000. Phuket City is on the island's southeastern coast and has population around 80,000 (metro over 250,000). The city is one of Thailand's oldest (16th-century-founded as part of the Ayutthaya Kingdom) and developed by Chinese immigrants as a major seaport in the 18th-century.

By land area (approx 543 km2 / 210 mi2), Phuket Island is Thailand's largest, similarly sized as Singapore (approx 710 km2 / 270 mi2). The island is in the Andaman Sea and is connected to mainland-Thailand via Sarasin and Thepkasatri Causeway. Phuket Island has numerous traditional villages, lush vegetation, pristine white-sand beaches, scenic seascapes (with huge limestone pillars towering over Phang-Nga Bay's turquoise waters).

Apart from tourism, much of the wealth of the province derives from tin production, which started in the 16th century. Phuket Town was presumably the first city in Thailand to feature paved roads and cars. Even today, the city of Phuket remains Thailand's center of tin production, with coconut, seafood and rubber also adding to the prosperity of the island. Much of its revenue is reinvested to further develop Phuket. The island's capital is Phuket Town. It was built in the middle of the last century in order to replace Thalang, which was destroyed in 1800 by the Burmese. The architecture features attractive Sino-Portuguese style, reflected in the spacious residences created by wealthy Chinese tin barons as testimony to their success.

Phuket cruise terminal

Cruise ships to Phuket Island dock (anchor) at the following ports:

During high season (November through April) cruise ships anchor near Patong Bay - the island's main tourist / beach destination (where the Sunset Beach Resort is located) and passengers are tendered to shore (via the ship's tender boats).

During summer / rainy season (May through October) ships dock at Ao Makarm port (deep-water port with 1 pier) located approx 8 km (5 mi) from Phuket Town. When ships stay in Phuket overnight, they usually dock at Ao Makarm and tender their passengers to Patong and back. The tender boat ride between the cruise port and the beach resort is approx 1,5 km (1 mi).

Passenger tendering to Patong Bay (Sunset Beach Resort) includes boat docking on a jetty across the Sunset Hotel. There are many taxis that offer sightseeing tours. Depending on whether (sea condition), passengers may be tendered to a different location. Kalim Beach (on the Patong's north end) can also be used as tender boat pier.

Large cruise ships dock at Phuket Port, which is about 20-min drive to Phuket Town. Passengers are usually transported via chartered by the cruise ship company shuttle buses. Taxis are available at the docking pier, but their rates are generally expensive (and negotiable). Taxi drive distance from the cruise ship port to Patong is about 45 minutes.

Luxury Cruises to Thailand

On a cruise to Thailand, you’ll discover some of the world’s best unspoiled beaches, taste exotic flavors, and immerse yourself in cultural traditions that date back centuries. 

Sail to the always exciting and enchantingly chaotic capital of Bangkok, where you’ll find magnificent temples, golden Buddhas, vibrant street life, and welcoming people. Discover some of Thailand’s best beaches in Ko Samui, where you can bask in the shade of a coconut palm. In Phuket, take in the splendor of golden-roofed Buddhist temples, and sample delicious food famous for its fragrant Thai spices. Luxury cruises to Thailand with Celebrity offer a genuine feast for the senses. 

Thailand Cruise Highlights

City life in bangkok.

In Bangkok, life is vibrant, welcoming, eclectic, and chaotically exciting. Take in the sights via a canal tour and watch traditional puppeteers re-enact ancient folklore tales. Wander through the massive Chatuchak Market to browse and shop for handmade clothes, spices, crafts, and Thai fabrics. Enjoy a drink high in the sky on the 63rd floor of the State Tower, a skyscraper topped with a lavish dome, and take in panoramic views of the glittering city skyline. 

Ancient Buddhist Temples

On cruises to Thailand, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the most revered and ancient temples and Buddhist holy sites anywhere in Asia. Thailand is home to around 33,,000 active temples including the massive and ornate Wat Arun in Bangkok which lights up the skyline at night. Take a trip up Nakkerd Hill in Phuket to see the famous Big Buddha statue that looks over the city. For a more rustic experience, visit the terracotta-hued Wat Ratcha Thammaram in Ko Samui which pays homage to legendary sea monsters and ancient Buddhist warriors.

White Sand Beaches

When visiting Thailand, don’t miss world-renowned beaches like Maenam in Ko Samui, with over four miles of unspoiled, silky white sand underneath your feet. Try a surf class or snorkeling adventure in the bright blue waters of Kata Noi Beach in Phuket. Take a day trip to Pattaya from Bangkok, where you’ll find a lively entertainment scene, plenty of watersports, and great local beach restaurants where you can sample fragrant Thai dishes.

Thailand Cruise Ports

The brilliance of Bangkok isn’t just in its size, but rather how much just one city can offer when it comes to food, nightlife, history, and cultural highlights. Don’t miss a chance to see the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, a golden statue measuring over 150 feet long, and 50 meters tall. Tour the city’s famous sites via canal boat, or drift along the Chao Phraya river past intricate temples. Take a Thai cooking class then enjoy some of Bangkok’s best views with a martini at the rooftop bar at Vertigo atop the Banyan Tree hotel during your overnight stay. 

Ko Samui’s famous beaches draw travelers looking for a complete, tropical island escape while still enjoying an upbeat local Thai culture and plenty of activities. Have an adventure on a 4x4 jungle safari tour to see some of the best sites like Namuang Waterfall, Mummified Monk, and Buddha’s Magic Garden, all in one day. Or take it easy on the calm shores of Maenam Beach, where you can lunch on Thai specialties with your toes in the sand.

On the mountainous island of Phuket, you’ll find palm-shaded, white sand beaches, adventurous jungle treks, and rich Thai heritage and traditions. Take a boat tour through some of the limestone islands in Phang Nga Bay where you can explore caves, mangroves, and rock formations that jut straight out of the turquoise-colored water. Browse for art and local handicrafts at the colorful shophouses in Phuket’s Old Town then visit the nearby Jui Tui Shrine, famous for its three ornate altars that pay homage to Chinese gods. 

Thailand Cruise Itineraries

Cruises to Thailand depart from either Hong Kong, Bali or Singapore, combining the buzz of big cities with the tranquility of laid-back tropical islands. You’ll typically visit six ports throughout Southeast Asia, with stops in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia as well as the “Land of Smiles”. Thailand cruises sail between November and March, when the weather is finest, and include three or four days at sea to relax and enjoy the ship. 

Itineraries

Why cruise to thailand with celebrity cruises.

People jump into the sea to escape raging ferry fire in Gulf of Thailand

Panicked passengers have jumped into the sea to escape a raging ferry fire in the Gulf of Thailand, and all 108 people on board are safe

BANGKOK -- Panicked passengers jumped into the sea to escape a raging ferry fire in the Gulf of Thailand early Thursday, and all 108 people on board were safe.

The overnight ferry from Surat Thani province was about to arrive at Koh Tao, a popular tourist destination off the Thai coast, when one of the passengers suddenly heard a crackling sound and smelled smoke.

Maitree Promjampa said he saw billowing smoke and fire less than five minutes later, and that was when people started shouting and rang the alarm.

“We could barely get the life vests in time,” he told The Associated Press. “It was chaotic. People were weeping … I also teared up.”

Of the 108 people on the ferry, 97 were passengers, Surat Thani officials said on Facebook . The province's public relations department posted that everyone was rescued with no casualties.

Videos showed people hurrying out of the ferry’s cabin while putting on life vests, as thick black smoke swept across the ferry. It was later engulfed in fire.

Maitree, a Surat Thani resident who often travels to Koh Tao for work, said several boats came to their rescue around 20 minutes after they called for help, but the boats could not get close to the ferry out of fear of explosions. He said people had to jump into the sea to be rescued. Videos showed the ferry was also carrying several vehicles.

“Everyone had to help themselves,” he said.

Officials said the fire was since brought under control. It began in the engine, but the cause is being investigated. The ferry did not sink.

The ferry from Surat Thani to Koh Tao carries both commuters and tourists. Koh Tao is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the coast.

Thailand’s PM Green Lights 8 Billion Baht Cruise Ship Terminal on Koh Samui

Avatar of CTN News

Thailand’s Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, has approved a cruise ship terminal project on Samui Island that will be able to accommodate up to 120 cruise ships annually and earn approximately eight billion baht in income.

He also directed the Transport Ministry to collaborate with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Surat Thani provincial administration in developing a detailed project plan for submission to the cabinet this year.

Prime Minister Srettha paid a visit to Samui Island yesterday to evaluate the proposed terminal site and address the island’s significant issues, such as trash management, with business operators and local officials as part of a three-day inspection trip to Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat provinces.

Cruise Ship Terminal Koh Samui

He stated that Koh Samui Island is one of ten Asian cruise ship destinations, but that many of them do not visit the island due to a lack of an adequate major terminal. This has sparked the proposal of constructing a terminal in Laem Hin Khom, Taling Ngam sub-district on the island.

The initiative, which is expected to cost 12 billion baht, will allow cruise ships to arrive and attract more high-spending tourists, according to the prime minister.

The facility would cover a total area of 47 rai, with 15 rai of land for service buildings and parking and a 32-rai offshore area for a three-story passenger house and a boat marina, he said. The facility would accommodate 180,000 people and 118 cruise ships per year. The projected income throughout the 30-year period is around 8.5 billion baht.

The proposal is now being reviewed by the Public-Private Partnership Policy Committee and is likely to be submitted to the cabinet for approval this year. Construction in Koh Samui would begin in 2029 and terminate by the end of 2032, he stated.

The Marine Department has hired consultants to perform a preliminary feasibility assessment on the design and location of the Samui cruise terminal.

Currently, Koh Samui provides a variety of cruise ship alternatives for touring Thailand’s beautiful islands. Many cruises depart from the island and travel to spectacular sites like as Ang Thong National Marine Park .

Visiting on Koh Samui

Koh Samui, located in the Gulf of Thailand, is a tropical paradise noted for its outstanding natural beauty, dynamic cultural attractions, and beautiful beaches. Let’s look at what makes this island such a popular tourist destination around the world.

Koh Samui is Thailand’s third-largest island and part of an archipelago of over 80 islands, including the famous Ang Thong National Marine Park.

The island’s topography is a mix of lush flora, crystal-clear waterways, and breathtaking views that are a feast for the eyes. From tumbling waterfalls to deep tropical woods, Koh Samui offers a diverse natural environment for visitors to discover.

One of Koh Samui’s biggest draws is its collection of gorgeous beaches, which cater to all types of travelers. Each beach has its own distinct charm, from the bustling sands of Chaweng Beach, which offers water sports and a dynamic nightlife, to the laid-back atmosphere of Lamai Beach, which is ideal for relaxation and sunsets.

Other notable beaches, such as Bophut Beach and Maenam Beach, provide calm surroundings and an insight into native life, making beach-hopping an essential pastime on Koh Samui island.

Thailand, Bangkok Marble Temple

From Ancient Temples to Modern Towers

Thailand cruises.

Whether you're seeking paradise islands or contemplative temples, Thailand has it all.

Thailand is unique in Southeast Asia – it's the only country that never capitulated to a foreign power, so its culture and character remain distinctive and intact. You'll see it as you eat your way through varieties of spicy noodles at Bangkok's street food markets, take an hour for quiet contemplation in the temples of Chiang Mai or bask in the vibrant colors of Krabi and Phuket. Cruise to Thailand to explore stunning beaches like Kata Noi and Ya Nui near Phuket, glide down the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok in a traditional Thai boat or adventure through the country's historic spots and see the Buddhas at the Grand Palace and the Wat Pho Temple.

Thailand, Phuket Island

LEAVE THE LAND BEHIND

No matter where your Thailand cruise calls, a beautiful beach isn't far away. Sun yourself on the beaches of Krabi, or head out on a boating expedition in Bangkok or Phuket. Either way, you'll fall in love with the turquoise waters of Thailand.

Thailand, Boats by Railey Beach

THAI TAXI TRIPS

Long-tail boats are more than just pretty things to photograph, though you'll surely be called to snap a few photos of them. As far as southern Thailand's seafarers are concerned, they're the original taxi. If you're up for a getaway, hop onto one of these water taxis for a day trip from Krabi or Phuket to quiet islands like Koh Poda or party spots like Koh Phi Phi.

Thailand, Krabi Beach

BEACH-YA YOU WON'T WANT TO LEAVE

All of Thailand's beaches are amazing, but you're sure to notice some important differences. While the islands of the Andaman Sea (to the west and south of Phuket) feature dramatic cliffs and fluorescent waters, white sand and more muted shades of turquoise define the experience of swimming in the Gulf of Thailand south of Bangkok . No matter where you take a dip, though, you'll be in paradise.

Thailand, Scuba Diving Training

SEAS THE DAY

Thailand's Koh Tao island is one of the world's most affordable and enjoyable places to SCUBA dive or get certified. Don't have time for a course? You can get amazing underwater views when you snorkel, so be sure to bring your underwater camera.

Thais are rightfully proud of their heritage, from the long-ruling Chakri dynasty to hundreds of years of Theravada Buddhism. From ancient culture to the pulse of modern Bangkok, you'll find a unique mix of the historic and the contemporary in Thailand with your cruise holiday.

Chicken Pad Thai

SAVOUR THE FLAVOUR

Thailand's street food scene boasts quick, delicious meals to fuel you as you adventure through the cities. Don't be afraid to dive into local delicacies during your holiday, or pair familiar favourites like Pad Thai noodles and green curry chicken with tangy  Som Tam  papaya salad or crispy  Khaaw Muu Grop  pork belly with rice.

Thailand, Monkey by a Buddhist Pagoda Ruins

MONKEY AROUND IN THAILAND

Thailand offers a ton of opportunities to responsibly get wild. Ethical establishments like the Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre in Phuket allow visitors to honour nature as they observe it, and at Khao Yai National Park, a less-than-two-hour drive from Bangkok, you can see elephants roam the land before you raft below thundering waterfalls.

Thailand, Chiang Mai

CITY AND COUNTRY

While Thailand's temples give you a peek into ancient history, its cities offer more modern adventures. Explore award-winning shopping malls like Bangkok's Siam Paragon, or enjoy a panorama from the viewing deck of Baiyoke Sky Tower. To glimpse local culture, visit rice fields outside Chiang Mai or the villages of Phuket.

Thailand, Phang Bay Traditional Long Tail Boat

Start your Southeast Asian Adventure in Thailand

While Krabi and Phuket have world-class beaches, you can find beautiful views all over Southeast Asia. Continue sailing southward toward Malaysia, where islands like Langkawi and Penang fuse amazing Andaman scenery with a mix of eclectic cultures. Southeast Asia is a wonderland for urban travellers, too. See the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi, explore ancient cities like Hong Kong or take advantage of world-class shopping, from Singapore's upmarket Orchard Road to the rough-and-tumble markets of Ho Chi Minh City.

Thailand, Phuket Islands

THE PHUKET PERARL

While Phuket is where many travellers arrive in Thailand, it is also the perfect start to a Southeast Asian journey. Take long-tail boat trips to Koh Phi Phi or Koh Khao Phing Kan (aka 'James Bond Island'), or explore the inland part of the island, where you can walk the streets of old-town Phuket or enjoy a panorama from atop the aptly named 'Big Buddha'.

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Ben Duoc Temple

STEP INTO SOUTHEAST ASIA

Thailand is both a cross-section of Southeast Asia and a gateway to the region. Cruise through the Andaman Sea to Malaysia, or sail into the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea to explore destinations like Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines . By adventuring through Southeast Asia, you're sure to see the region come alive.

Basic English is broadly spoken in areas of Thailand where tourists often visit, but learning some basic Thai will earn you many smiles.

Service of alcohol in Thailand is prohibited before 11 a.m. and between 2-5 p.m., so be sure to head to the bar at the right times.

To show respect for local customs, remove your shoes whenever entering a temple or a local person's home.

CUISINE HOW TO SAY 'DELICIOUS' IN THAI

Thai can be a difficult language for non-natives, but you should definitely learn the word  aroi , which means 'delicious'. It'll be the perfect way to describe the indulgent cuisine of the area, full of bright spices, pungent fish sauce and tangy vinegar.

Pad Thai Traditional Noodles

WOK THIS WAY

Whether you eat it with shrimp, pork or chicken, few Thai dishes are more satisfying than stir-fried noodles, also known as pad thai. Stop by one of the food stalls on Charoen Krung Road or another of Bangkok's popular street food spots, where pad thai is traditionally cooked up with tangy-sweet paste of tamarind, a tropical fruit.

Thai Green Curry with Chicken

Spicy, creamy green curry is even more delicious in Thailand than it is at home. The creamy coconut milk base of this comforting Thai classic is made with fragrant green chilies, lemongrass, ginger and garlic. Make sure to order rice, since the dish is served a la carte here.

Green Papaya Salad

PAPAYA PRIDE

There's no better way to get a taste of Thailand's northeast Isaan cuisine than som tam, a salad made with shredded green papaya, fresh tomatoes, dried prawns, a squeeze of lime juice and as much or as little chilli as you like.

Related Ports

Explore the bustling streets of Bangkok, tasting your way through street-food vendors and side-stepping tuk tuk rickshaws. Swim in crystal clear blue waters surrounded by dramatic cliffs and rocks in Phuket. Or make your way to neighboring Malaysia to experience Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

Luxury Cruises to Thailand

On a cruise to Thailand, you’ll discover some of the world’s best unspoiled beaches, taste exotic flavors, and immerse yourself in cultural traditions that date back centuries. 

Sail to the always exciting and enchantingly chaotic capital of Bangkok, where you’ll find magnificent temples, golden Buddhas, vibrant street life, and welcoming people. Discover some of Thailand’s best beaches in Ko Samui, where you can bask in the shade of a coconut palm. In Phuket, take in the splendor of golden-roofed Buddhist temples, and sample delicious food famous for its fragrant Thai spices. Luxury cruises to Thailand with Celebrity offer a genuine feast for the senses. 

Thailand Cruise Highlights

City life in bangkok.

In Bangkok, life is vibrant, welcoming, eclectic, and chaotically exciting. Take in the sights via a canal tour and watch traditional puppeteers re-enact ancient folklore tales. Wander through the massive Chatuchak Market to browse and shop for handmade clothes, spices, crafts, and Thai fabrics. Enjoy a drink high in the sky on the 63rd floor of the State Tower, a skyscraper topped with a lavish dome, and take in panoramic views of the glittering city skyline. 

Ancient Buddhist Temples

On cruises to Thailand, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the most revered and ancient temples and Buddhist holy sites anywhere in Asia. Thailand is home to around 33,,000 active temples including the massive and ornate Wat Arun in Bangkok which lights up the skyline at night. Take a trip up Nakkerd Hill in Phuket to see the famous Big Buddha statue that looks over the city. For a more rustic experience, visit the terracotta-hued Wat Ratcha Thammaram in Ko Samui which pays homage to legendary sea monsters and ancient Buddhist warriors.

White Sand Beaches

When visiting Thailand, don’t miss world-renowned beaches like Maenam in Ko Samui, with over four miles of unspoiled, silky white sand underneath your feet. Try a surf class or snorkeling adventure in the bright blue waters of Kata Noi Beach in Phuket. Take a day trip to Pattaya from Bangkok, where you’ll find a lively entertainment scene, plenty of watersports, and great local beach restaurants where you can sample fragrant Thai dishes.

Thailand Cruise Ports

The brilliance of Bangkok isn’t just in its size, but rather how much just one city can offer when it comes to food, nightlife, history, and cultural highlights. Don’t miss a chance to see the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, a golden statue measuring over 150 feet long, and 50 meters tall. Tour the city’s famous sites via canal boat, or drift along the Chao Phraya river past intricate temples. Take a Thai cooking class then enjoy some of Bangkok’s best views with a martini at the rooftop bar at Vertigo atop the Banyan Tree hotel during your overnight stay. 

Ko Samui’s famous beaches draw travelers looking for a complete, tropical island escape while still enjoying an upbeat local Thai culture and plenty of activities. Have an adventure on a 4x4 jungle safari tour to see some of the best sites like Namuang Waterfall, Mummified Monk, and Buddha’s Magic Garden, all in one day. Or take it easy on the calm shores of Maenam Beach, where you can lunch on Thai specialties with your toes in the sand.

On the mountainous island of Phuket, you’ll find palm-shaded, white sand beaches, adventurous jungle treks, and rich Thai heritage and traditions. Take a boat tour through some of the limestone islands in Phang Nga Bay where you can explore caves, mangroves, and rock formations that jut straight out of the turquoise-colored water. Browse for art and local handicrafts at the colorful shophouses in Phuket’s Old Town then visit the nearby Jui Tui Shrine, famous for its three ornate altars that pay homage to Chinese gods. 

Thailand Cruise Itineraries

Cruises to Thailand depart from either Hong Kong, Bali or Singapore, combining the buzz of big cities with the tranquility of laid-back tropical islands. You’ll typically visit six ports throughout Southeast Asia, with stops in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia as well as the “Land of Smiles”. Thailand cruises sail between November and March, when the weather is finest, and include three or four days at sea to relax and enjoy the ship. 

Itineraries

Why cruise to thailand with celebrity cruises.

Thailand is one of the most popular destinations in Asia for travelers looking for adventure, culture, and a blend of lush nature and cosmopolitan experiences. On a Celebrity Cruises ship, you’ll return from your adventures ashore every day to luxurious accommodation and fine dining. Book a suite in The Retreat and you’ll have access to an exclusive lounge and restaurant, too. Indulge in luxurious treatments at The Spa, or watch the sun meet the sea with a fabulous evening cocktail at the Sunset Bar.

Cruise Saudi’s AROYA Cruises appoints VIKAND as Healthcare Partner for first cruise ship 

' src=

The 100% PIF-owned company Cruise Saudi has announced that it has appointed VIKAND, the global leader in maritime healthcare, to provide a comprehensive and full-scale medical management solution for AROYA Cruises, the first cruise line to be designed with Arabian preferences at its heart. 

The engagement spans from pre-launch support services, biomedical device specification and procurement as well as formulary supply, to ongoing maritime healthcare support through VIKAND’s all-inclusive, proactive medical management services. 

AROYA Cruises will provide guests with authentic Arabian experiences that celebrate Saudi’s rich cultural heritage and signature hospitality, while ensuring consistent high safety and quality standards supported by VIKAND. The ship is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment to tailor all amenitiesto the highest standard in line with the taste of Arabian passengers. With 19 decks and 1,682 elegant cabins, this grand ship will redefine Arabian holidays and will set sail from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2024. 

The partnership agreement was formalized with a signing ceremony, during which Lars Clasen, CEO of Cruise Saudi, said, “We are delighted to be collaborating with VIKAND. Our clients expect a premium service, and we were impressed with their experience in delivering proactive health and wellness to guests and crew. It is important that our AROYA Cruises guests feel safe and can turn to trusted medical professionals should they feel unwell during a voyage.” 

VIKAND medical management is an all-inclusive, proactive and modular approach to onboard health and wellness inspired by the company’s deeply held values. It begins with a pre-launch analysis of biomedical equipment and onboard facilities to ensure the vessel meets all flag state and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) requirements. 

VIKAND has deep experience in launching vessels, bringing clarity and control to the process of taking ownership of a cruise ship and preparing it for service. This support extends to the entire onboard healthcare operation, including global medical staffing and integrated supply chain solutions for all formulary and medical supplies. VIKAND provides AROYA Cruises with its full expertise at every step, from launch to operation. 

“I am delighted that AROYA Cruises have entrusted VIKAND to help launch their first cruise ship and provide ongoing support for its medical needs,” said Peter Hult, CEO of VIKAND. “We understand that each ship is a delicate ecosystem, and our services integrate seamlessly to protect guests and crew against medical risks, helping to keep everyone onboard safe and healthy. We wish this new venture well and hope to nurture a long-term partnership with AROYA Cruises.”
