Kenny Cheong, Managing Director, Hwajing Travel and Tours Sdn Bhd, says, “Following our inaugural season in March this year, we are delighted to bring back the beautiful Costa Serena to homeport in Port Klang. We are proud to play a significant role in boosting cruise tourism in Malaysia and supporting local businesses in the Port Klang area, while offering Malaysian and regional travellers an affordable, convenient and relaxing way to travel around the region.”
The Costa Serena offers a rich menu of Italian and Asian culinary delights, ranging from lavish buffets to freshly baked Italian pizza at Pizzeria Pummid’Oro and exquisite gelato at Gelateria Ciccolateria Amarillo. Upon swift embarkation at Port Klang, guests are invited to experience the grandeur of cruising ‘like a Roman’ aboard this splendid Italian ship, which boasts a wide array of dining, leisure, and entertainment options. Guests can enjoy a Venice Carnival Party or an adventurous ride on the Water Chute Slide, along with numerous fun-filled activities suitable for all ages.
The cruise schedules are thoughtfully planned to optimize guests’ time at the ports in Phuket and Penang, while ensuring a seamless disembarkation. In Phuket, visitors can unwind on picturesque beaches or dive into the lively local dining and nightlife. In Penang, the culturally rich Georgetown offers a plethora of sights; guests can wander the historic streets, relax in a quaint café, and savor the renowned local street food.
The season’s final voyage for the Costa Serena is scheduled for 15 December 2024, departing from Port Klang to Phu My and concluding in Hong Kong. This itinerary allows guests to explore the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City from Phu My, Vietnam, followed by a tranquil visit to the iconic harbor city of Hong Kong.
With rates starting from RM599 per person for a 3-day, 2-night cruise and enticing early bird promotions such as “Kids Cruise Free” and a 10% discount for seniors, the Costa Serena presents unparalleled value for multi-generational family vacations to Penang and Phuket.
