Singapore to Phuket over New Years

We are getting excited for our first Clipper cruise! Anyone else on this sailing? It’s hard to find anyone that has sailed on this itinerary so also just putting this out to see if anyone pops up with experiences, advice etc

Hello! 

We loved our experience!

it is very different than a regular cruise and although it is a small ship it also isn’t luxury. It’s a fairly casual and active experience. Drinks are reasonably priced. We couldn’t get enough of watching the sails, relaxing on the aft deck and interacting with passengers that had 15 countries represented. You need to be in fairly good shape or be pretty agile to enjoy most things. Getting off the ship even can be a bit interesting...into a tender then a zodiac then a wet landing in a few places! The crew was great although we found the cruise director a bit snarly. The captain was awesome and talked to us a few times. We had a fantastic dive master on our sailing too. There really isn’t much in the way of entertainment in the evenings but folks gather for drinks in the main bar area. We will be sailing again!
