KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 8 August 2024: With the Costa Serena set to return to its homeport in Port Klang, Malaysia, this December, Hwajing Travel is unveiling a new 6D5N itinerary that explores Vietnam and Hong Kong.
This initiative comes as Malaysia’s cruise industry receives a boost from Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s announcement on upcoming developments to strengthen its position as a homeport destination, in line with The Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism goals to advance the cruise sector.
“I’m thrilled about the joint statement from the Transport Minister and the Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, as well as establishing a technical committee to promote cruise industry development. The initiatives to enhance our cruise terminal facilities to accommodate international cruise ships and streamline immigration clearance for cruise passengers mark a significant step forward for cruise tourism in Malaysia,” said Hwajing Travel and Tours Managing Director Kenny Cheong.
He added: “In addition to hosting Seatrade Cruise Asia in 2026, one of the largest cruise industry events, the targeted improvements to the cruise passenger experience will position Malaysia as a premier cruise destination and a key player in Southeast Asia’s cruise market.”
