After nearly three months of renovation, the returned Blue Dream Melody unveiled multiple routes ranging from 7 days to 33 nights and jointly operated with cruise ships from Shanghai's home port.
The 33-night voyage to Southeast Asia and the Far East is a highlight of its 2024 itineraries.
The tour will pass through 10 countries and regions, with 15 ports and 17 stops.
In addition to stopping at two traditional cruise destinations in Japan and South Korea, the tour will also take tourists on an in-depth exploration of seven ASEAN countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and the Philippines.
The Blue Dream Melody is also offering a 14-night cruise to Japan and South Korea. Departing from Shanghai on Oct 11, the voyage features visits to destinations such as Kitakyushu, Kanazawa, Niigata, Akita, Otaru, Hakodate, and Busan.
