Vacinations & Visas for Asian Cruise.

[Thirsty1]

We have booked on 14 day Asian Cruise on Costa Allegra departing Singapore on 8 March, 2008.

 

This cruise visits Ho Chi Min City, De-Nang, Hong Kong, Manilla, Borneo and Bendar Seri Begawan.

 

Can someone tell me if any vacinations are recommended or required for this cruise. I realise that they are only brief visits and we don't intend to venture to far afield but best to be sure.

 

Also Costa have said that any visas required would be issued on board prior to each port at a charge. Would there be any advantage in obtaing any required visas prior to cruise??

 

Has anyone recently been on a similar cruise? Was wondering what the asian/western passenger ration was??

 

Thank you.
