It’s been an exhilarating few months for our Cruise Asia Indonesia team! We’ve had the privilege of welcoming an impressive lineup of cruise ships, including the Quantum of the Seas in Lombok, the Viking Venus in Bali, and both the Azamara Pursuit and MS Noordam at Benoa, and more. Our team has orchestrated seamless port turnarounds and curated unforgettable shore excursions, giving international guests a taste of Indonesia's breathtaking beauty and rich culture. With the high season in full swing, we’re excited to continue delivering world-class services and welcoming even more ships to our remarkable destinations. #CruiseAsia #ShoreEx #PortTurnaround #DestinationAsia #Indonesia Holland America Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Viking, Azamara Cruises

Last week, we partnered with hosmarkhotels and Harbour Plaza Hotels & Resorts in Hong Kong to host a vibrant cooking class at the School of Wok. Led by Mercedes Conde-Nieto (Director of Sales, UK and Ireland) and Claudia Schuitemaker guests crafted a range of delicious dishes, including dumplings, Penang curry, and a festive chocolate orange cheesecake. In the spirit of giving back, each dish was doubled in size, with extra portions donated to a local charity to distribute to those in need. The evening was a fantastic way to celebrate a great year together and give back to the community. #CookingForACause #CommunityMatters #GivingBack #DestinationAsia

Earlier this month, Cruise Asia by Destination Asia proudly welcomed the Viking Orion to Port Benoa, Indonesia. Recent volcanic activity caused flight changes for some guests but our team quickly sprang into action, working closely with Viking to ensure all guests arrived on time and safely. Once ashore, the team handled all turnaround services and curated unforgettable shore excursions, including visits to a traditional temple, a Balinese house compound, and a vibrant market. Guests also had the option to explore Bali in a vintage Land Rover, taking in the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih rice terraces and creating unforgettable memories. #CruiseAsia #Indonesia #Turnaround #ShoreEx #DestinationAsia Yasa Sediya, Agus Jaya, Anggy Widya Pratiwi
