jake 26 Posted October 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Secrets of Asia is extremely interesting, and obviously is the first leg of the return repositioning. A lot of flying involved, and I wonder if TUI aircraft or scheduled airlines are to be the carriers. Visas will be another question as India can be awkward, and probably Vietnam and Cambodia will require them, although I believe they are fairly straightforward.

Colbrit Posted October 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The flights will be into Malaga- Naples-Aqaba-Dubai-Muscat-Cochin-Langkawi-Bangkok. With the repositionals being sold in mostly 14night sections - the Europe section will be sold as either 7 night or 14 nights. As far as I know the flying will be with TUI Airways Dreamliners for the Asia ones and the longest flight is the Langkawi which is down as 11hrs 3/4. The Asia flights will be overnight ones - first day will be Gatwick & Birmingham and second day Manchester. There will be an overnight onboard at the start/end of most cruises to allow for the flying - at the beginning for LGW & BHX and at the end of the cruise for MAN. I hope that the visa information is clear - TUI regularly go to Goa so an erratum (important information) tick box should be set up at the end of the booking page to inform customers - like the Russian information was in when we booked Baltic Classics this year. I for one will be booking an Asian one for next March hopefully the last sailing before it starts the repositionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveSplasher Posted October 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 25, 2017 What about Aqaba to Laem Chabang/Langkawi Cruise Thanks Regarding the Airlines, there are no direct flights to Langkawi from Europe so a transit at Singapore or Kuala Lumpur is needed. Bangkok could be by British Airways.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1longk12 Posted October 25, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Once i find them out i will post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbrit Posted October 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2017 All flying will be done by TUI Airways - scheduled flying isn't part of the business model. It will be similar to the ex- Dubai ones last winter - specific cruise flights only. All the flights for these cruises - including the once from Europe will be from Birmingham Machester and Gatwick.

Well after the long awaited Asia cruises very disappointed to find there are no flights from Scotland for any of these new itineraries. Looks like Scotland only has the Canaries to chose from next winter again. I for one will not be travelling to Manchester, Birmingham or Gatwick for these cruises. There are other options out there.

jake 26 Posted October 26, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We've just booked 'Enchanting Far East' as it really is a stunning itinerary and quite diverse. The excursions available are really good value, costs being typical of Malaysia where the cost of living is low. It certainly seems that a lot of planning and work has gone into this extension of the cruise arm of UK TUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted October 26, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We've just booked Secrets of Asia 2 - only so we have a shorter flight home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake 26 Posted October 26, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We've just booked Secrets of Asia 2 - only so we have a shorter flight home!! That's a great itinerary too, and we were in two minds which to choose. The shorter flight was an attraction I must admit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbrit Posted October 27, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 27, 2017 So jealous that you've booked - I will be on a waiting game due to several reasons. The excursions look fantastic and reasonably priced too - I hope to book Enchanting Far East 1 for March 2019 and already have the leave booked at work. I really hope that these cruises sell well - I wouldn't want the programme to disappear like the ex- Dubai ones last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
