I had never been on a cruise before. I had traveled by ship many times — to General Santos City, to Puerto Princesa, to Calapan, Mindoro. Although I enjoyed these journeys very much, I had never experienced being on board a cruise ship, with many luxurious amenities. That’s why I was thrilled when I received an invitation from Airphil Express to try their newest travel package — Fly and Sail!
The Philippines’ fastest growing airline, Airphil Express partners with another travel giant — Star Cruises. Together, they created a package that made the “cruise experience” a lot more affordable, thus closer to many people. FLY AND SAIL offers a double adventure! You fly to Singapore via Airphil Express and then hop onto SuperStar Virgo and cruise to Malaysia! You may choose which Malaysian destination to visit — Malacca, Redang Island, or Port Klang (gateway to Kuala Lumpur).
Their lowest offer is only P24,888! ALL IN! Enjoy four days and 3 nights (4D/3N) of island adventure, sightseeing or shopping in Singapore and Malaysia! Here are the other options:
Packages are inclusive of the following:
- Roundtrip airfare (Manila-Singapore-Manila) including fuel surcharge
- 3D/2N accommodation aboard Star Cruises’ Superstar Virgo
- Overnight accommodation at Oasis Hotel or Fragrance Rose (first night)
- Transfers (Airport-hotel-port-airport)
- All access to Superstar Virgo’s facilities and live entertainment
- Meals on board (up to 6 meals per day at selected restaurants)
- Philippine and Singapore taxes
Travel period: August 23, 2011 – March 13, 2012
Selling period: August 10-September 20, 2011
I think it’s a very good deal! Looking at my previous Singapore trip where I spent almost P16,000 for 4 days and 3 nights, I think this package is a steal! Note that I stayed at a hostel the last time I was in SG. APX’s Fly and Sail offers not just stay in Singapore but also Malaysia, via cruise ship! Sweet!
