Quickly Book a Cruise on the Costa Serena for a Fantastic Time
Cruises are trending now as one of the most wonderful ways to travel and have a memorable holiday. Lucky for us, Malaysia gets a cruise industry boost with the upcoming Visit Malaysia 2026.
With the Costa Serena set to return to its homeport in Port Klang, Malaysia, Hwajing Travel is unveiling an exciting new 6D5N itinerary exploring Vietnam and Hong Kong. This initiative comes as Malaysia’s cruise industry receives a boost from Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s announcement on upcoming developments to strengthen its position as a homeport destination, in line with Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism goals to advance the cruise sector.
Said Kenny Cheong, Managing Director of Hwajing Travel and Tours, “I’m thrilled about the joint statement from the Transport Minister and the Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, as well as the establishment of a technical committee to promote cruise industry development. The initiatives to enhance our cruise terminal facilities to accommodate international cruise ships and streamline immigration clearance for cruise passengers, mark a significant step forward for cruise tourism in Malaysia.”
He added, “In addition to hosting Seatrade Cruise Asia in 2026 – one of the largest cruise industry events, the targeted improvements to the cruise passenger experience will position Malaysia as a premier cruise destination and a key player in Southeast Asia’s cruise market.”
For the 6D5N Vietnam and Hong Kong / Southeast Asia ‘cruise-cations’ Hwajing Travel is offering a special 6D5N cruise onboard the Costa Serena, sailing from Port Klang on 15 December, to Phu My and Hong Kong.
