When an exotic sea cruise sounds appealing but more than a few days off terra firma is a little off-putting, Star Cruises is offering Asian itineraries of only two or three nights.
Until October 6, three cruises on Superstar Aries depart weekly, taking passengers from Laem Chabang in Bangkok to theislands of Ko Samet, Ko Samui, Ko Chang and Phu Quoc in Vietnam.
Each trip offers brief island stopovers.
When these cruise packages are over the ship will head for Fukuoka, Japan, and the Star Aquarius will take over the Indo-China itineraries out of Bangkok.
