Thailand Cruises

Cruises to Thailand hold an exotic allure. On the island of Phuket, called the "Pearl of Thailand," turquoise waters edge the glorious beaches, which give way to a fertile interior that supports rice, cacao, rubber, pineapple and cashew production. More splendid coconut-lined beaches await in Koh Samui, which also boasts the stunning Na Muang waterfalls. Vibrant Bangkok offers a more cosmopolitan experience, but look beyond its modern skyline and you'll find some 400 Buddhist temples, among them Wat Po, which houses a 150-foot-long reclining Buddha. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha holds another must-see -- a 31-inch Buddha carved from a single piece of green jasper.

• Thailand is featured on cruises in Asia, which are offered throughout the year.
   
• If you must fly a very long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your Thailand cruise. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.
