Funchal Classic International Cruises liner, Funchal, will operate a series of Far East cruises for Australians from Singapore and Hong Kong in early 2012.
Nine Far East cruises from nine to 33 nights aboard the 465-passenger Funchal from January to April 2012 will maintain Classic International Cruises’ two-ship presence in the region.
The line’s flagship, Athena, will be returning again to Australia next summer, based in Perth and Adelaide.
The 9,500-ton, classic-styled Funchal was based each summer in Perth from 2004 to 2007 before the larger 600-passenger Athena succeeded her here.
A feature of Classic International Cruises’ new 2012 Far East brochure for Australia are several cruises offering extended three-day stays in ports such as Ho Chi Minh City and Phuket as well as other itineraries offering overnight stays in destinations such as Manila, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.
