  • Considering a cruise to South East Asia? Marella Cruises have periodically offered itineraries in this region and in 2024 we took the plunge and immersed ourselves in all that Marella could throw at us. And this was some cruise intinerary. We visited, Singapore, Penang, Patong Bay (Phi Phi Islands), Langkawi, Port Klang (Kuala Lumpur), Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.
    In this video we show our experiences in these wondrous places. We detail our excursions, days in port and our onboard experiences on Marella Discovery 2.
    If this is a trip youve considered, we hope this video gives you the insights you need of what to expect.

    Settling down on a Sunday night to watch this. Long flight!! That Marina Bay Sands hotel is stunning! Seen it on the F1. Ah, surf board, we’ve always assumed it was a ship. The beers look great 🍻. Food looks really good too. Those walking trails look amazing. Loving the bag grabbers! The orange machine is cool and love the lizards. The ship looks really nice, not so sure about the dancing 😂. Loving the orang utan, beautiful! This really is an amazing trip, you’re definitely selling it to us. Haha, I’d forgotten about your boat breaking down, not too shabby island though! Wow, loved the book and film of The Beach, would love to visit there. Really fantastic day. The caves were cool. More silent disco 😂. This tour just gets better, apart from the monkey attacks 😂. Would love to see the Petronius Towers. Great you got the classic photo with the spitting dragon! Sweet and cheesy, mmm. Nice greenhouse. Great value for the food. Beer time, excellent! The super trees are cool…even cooler than the Chester ones 😂. The beach and beer looks gorgeous. We’d love to visit Bangkok. It’s good to have a lazy day once in a while. Those roads looked a nightmare. The food and market in Shanghai look really good. This looked like such a great cruise, we really want to do that. Top video both. Loved it!!!!

    That was a happy collection of memories for us. Although we didn't have any monkey bites or traffic accidents! It also reminded us that we haven't even edited any of our Singapore videos. So close to 1000 subs guys! We will have a drink for you when you get there 🍺

      Thank you guys - Look forward to seeing your Singapore videos! Reckon you’ll hit the 1000 before us but we’ll hopefully have to have a second drink 🍷 celebrating both reaching the magic 1000. . As always- very grateful for your support

    A brilliant video! I love the way you've put all the highlights into one. It's a great substitute for not having my own holiday video 🤣. We did many of the same things but with such a port intensive cruise we never got to the Squid and Anchor, Silent Disco, Quizzes or Murder Mystery, there was so much on offer. I'm really hoping they run the same itinerary in 2026.🤞 Thank you for all your hard work in producing high quality content.

      Thank you so much for these lovely supportive comments. We really enjoyed this trip so much! And we hope that comes across in this video . This video is our holiday memories video and one we will surely revisit ourselves from time to time. It’s essentially why we started to do the channel to provide memories and hopefully help others plan similar experiences… We are sure Marella will
      resume these as soon as it is safe. It’s an itinerary we’d consider doing again too .. So much more we wanted to do but didn’t have time. Thank you again for all the support you’ve given to our channel ..

    Wow you guys really know how to make the most of these cruises! This was brilliant you had so many great trips as well as enjoying on board entertainment! Glad the second speed boat turned up to the deserted island otherwise you could still be there 😮 lots of great food and drink! The silent discos look fun! Super trip this guys! 👍❤️

      Thank you - Desert islands are cool for a few hours until you realise the food and water runs out fast.. We were glad to be rescued and enjoy the Phi Phi Islands - Appreciate your support and thanks for taking time to comment

    We were booked for one of Marella’s far east cruises in March 2025. Sadly due to security situation in the Middle East. Marella has cancelled far east cruises. 😢😢😢
    I believe Marella will review the situation in 2025 for further cruises in the future. To keep us going we are going on Ottoman experience cruise of Discovery 2 in July.
    Thanks for your great vlog.

      Thank you for watching and taking time to comment - Appreciated! It’s really sad that the 2025 itineraries have had to be cancelled but understandable. Let’s hope peace resumes soon. I think Marella will resume as soon as it is safe to do so..It’s been an incredibly popular itinerary and we have come across anyone who’s not enjoyed it so far.. Ottoman Experience looks an interesting trip and have looked at that too.. Hope you have a great time .. Thank you again
