Jennifer’s Path has a new Trip Report on Fora’s website! Read a brief overview of our recent 12-night Thailand and Vietnam Cruise on the Celebrity Solstice! More to follow on Jenniferspath.org!

Celebrity Cruises is well-known for its elevated and modern design, exceptional culinary experiences and attentive service. This itinerary was very appealing to us, as we wanted to share a sampling of Southeast Asia with our friends and family, but have a more luxurious, hassle-free travel experience than land-based travel might provide.

My husband’s family came from Vietnam and his aging parents wanted to visit as tourists. This trip was extremely important to us, and we wanted to provide a top-tier experience for them. A cruise was perfect for this trip, because it would allow everyone to settle in and have a comfortable home base to return to each night. Also, each person could choose how active they wanted to be, and which excursions they were interested in.

The cost for this 12-night cruise on the Celebrity Solstice was around $2,200 per person for a balcony stateroom. This included the classic drink package and basic internet. It also included dining in the main dining room, the buffet and certain other dining venues around the ship. If you do the math, this comes out to around $183 per person per night, which is a steal for an all-inclusive vacation!

The cruise began in Singapore. We visited Koh Samui and Bangkok in Thailand. Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Da Nang and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, and ended in Hong Kong.
