Can Brunei residents advise on the likely delay in crossing the land border to Sarawak. When are times to avoid, and what sort of delays would I expect.
Thanks

Asia Cruise Lines, Cruise Trip Booking & Travel Information

Cruise Lines Set Their Sights on Asia

Articles by
By AMY GUNDERSON
Published: October 2, 2005
New York Times

OVER the next year, Bob Fabian, a retiree from Charlotte, N.C., will visit Bangkok, Bali, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Pusan in South Korea, and some 10 cities in Japan. But his trips aren't taking him through countless airports and hotels - instead, Mr. Fabian is traveling around Asia by cruise ship.

"Bangkok is fabulous," he said. "The Grand Palace is just indescribable. It's like the eighth wonder of the world."

Mr. Fabian went with his wife on their first cruise to Asia a year and a half ago aboard a Crystal Cruises ship and was so enthralled that he booked three more cruises to the region. In December, the couple will take a 20-day trip from Singapore to Sydney aboard Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess.

Then next spring, they plan to sail on Oceania Cruises' Nautica from Hong Kong, making stops in Vietnam, Thailand and India before traveling up the Suez Canal to its final destination, Athens, some 35 days later. In October, it's a 14-day trip with Cruise West, a small-ship operator that docks in ports throughout Japan.

Until recently, Asian ports were the mainstay of smaller cruise lines or those so-called world cruises, globe-circling treks of typically 100 or more days that would include several stops in the Far East. But cruising makes going to Asia more accessible for many tourists - language barriers and the logistics of moving around the region are less of a problem when you can return to your ship each night - and airlines are beefing up their nonstop flights to the region. Now, travel agents are marketing sailings in Asia to cruise veterans and accomplished travelers as an alternative to the Caribbean and Europe.

"For baby boomers like me, we've all been there and done that," said Nancy Yale, a travel agent in Fairfield, Conn., who specializes in cruises and has seen her bookings to Asia increase exponentially over the last two years. "Some of my clients have been to Asia on business or have even done land tours there, but they are going back for cruises."

Operators are adding ships to the region, venturing into new ports and diversifying schedules to include shorter trips.

"Cruises to Asia are changing," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, the editor of CruiseCritic, an online magazine. "The cruise industry is trying to market to a younger, more active audience, so they are sending bigger, newer ships there. In the past, the oldest, smallest ships got the Asia assignment. There are also now shorter itineraries, so if you don't have three weeks off, you can go for 10 days."

Silversea Cruises - which will operate 17 separate cruises in Asia and Australia in 2006, ranging from 8 to 16 days - has a program that charges passengers daily rates so they can join a cruise at the port of their choice. Travelers can embark at any point, but must stay a minimum of five nights, for a daily rate as low as $480.

While most cruise lines have their ships in Asia for only part of the year, the Malaysia-based Star Cruises, which also owns Norwegian Cruise Line, runs trips year round in Asia. It caters primarily to Asian travelers, but its SuperStar Virgo itineraries attract the greatest diversity of passengers, including Australians, Britons and Americans. The ship maintains an Asian d�cor and restaurants - there is even a poolside noodle bar.

Princess Cruises launched its first full season of cruises in Asia in 2004, and next year is beefing up capacity in the region by 25 percent.

Holland America, which previously only stopped in Asia on world cruises or during 30-day sailings once a year, is moving its refurbished 1,258-passenger Statendam to the region in March for four cruises, some as short as two weeks.

Oceania Cruises' newest ship, the Nautica, will begin its service in November by sailing for five months in Asia.

There are also a growing number of itineraries to choose from. Princess Cruises, which distinguishes itself from most other operators by running summer cruises in Asia, is adding the Cambodian port of Sihanoukville - from which travelers can reach Angkor Wat - in 2006. Holland America also added more overnight stays in ports like Shanghai and Osaka.

Overnight stays in ports are also featured on Oceania Cruises.

"The overnights are very heavy on the Asia cruises," said Tim Rubacky, manager of Oceania's marketing and public relations. "They've become a trademark for us in Europe, but in Asia it is even more important."

The extra time allows travelers plenty of opportunity to get into a city, and comes in handy for checking out the night life. Reaching a city center or shore excursion can mean a trek of a half-hour or more from the port. Hanoi, which is on Oceania's itineraries, is about a three-hour drive from Halong Bay.

Though many cruise lines are delving into trips that take up less time, long-haul world cruises are still a standard offering, and they can also be bought in shorter segments. Radisson Seven Seas Cruises' Seven Seas Voyager goes to Asia as part of its 108-day world cruise. As the ship makes its way from Sydney to Dubai there are three trips ranging from 14 to 22 nights. Radisson added Rangoon to the 2006 itinerary, and the ship spends multiple nights in Hong Kong, rather than just a single overnight stay. In 2007, Holland America will run three longer cruises, including a 105-day trip on the Amsterdam that will stop for the first time in Nha Tran, Vietnam; Tuticorin, India; and Salalah, Oman.

The Queen Mary 2 will run its first world cruise in 2007, an 80-day trip that can be bought in segments as short as 14 days. The ship's 19-day trip from Sydney to Dubai will stop in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Cochin, India. While the cruise ships might be swathed in luxury, often the Asian ports are not, but that is also changing. Singapore upgraded its port in 1998, and Shanghai broke ground on a new cruise ship terminal that should be completed by early 2007.

"The majority of ports there are not what you might see in the U.S.," said Mr. Rubacky. "But with more ships returning to Asia, countries are starting to put a better face on the ports."

BRUNEI TOURISM GUIDE

Introduction

There are beaches with facilities at Kuala Belait, Lumut Beach near Tutong and at Muara. Brunei is a heavily forested state, and most activity is either on the coast or at the estuaries.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The principal tourist sights in the capital are: the minaret crowning the golden-domed Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, which stands in the middle of its own artificial lagoon, affording a fine view over the town and stilt village; the Churchill Memorial, incorporating the Churchill Museum and Aquarium; the ancient Tomb of Sultan Bolkiah, the fifth sultan, known as the ‘singing admiral’ for his love of both music and conquest; the Brunei Museum; and the Malay Technology Museum showing traditional crafts. Kampong Ayer is the water village on the outskirts of the capital, reputed to be the largest collection of stilt habitations in the world; visitors can walk freely around the wooden walkways between the houses, which combine traditional architecture with modern facilities such as Internet connections.

EXCURSIONS:

Outside the capital within the Brunei-Muara district, Jerudong Theme Park, best reached by road, offers free modern amusements and rides next to a beach. Other beaches can be found at Muara and Serasa, where watersports are popular. Local travel agents offer half-day boat tours to Pulau Selirong, a mangrove island 45 minutes from Muara by boat, where wildlife includes proboscis monkeys, macaques, kingfishers and eagles. Other islands in Brunei Bay offer beaches and watersports.

ELSEWHERE:

Tasek Merimbun, Brunei’s largest lake, is in a hill resort in the Tutong District just over an hour’s drive from Bandar Seri Begawan; it offers peaceful picnicking, birdwatching facilities and jungle trails. Many unspoiled jungle areas in other districts are accessible only by boat. There are splendid traditional longhouses in the Temburong district, which contains large tracts of virgin rainforest. Travel agents offer day or overnight tours to the Ulu Temburong National Park with forest canopy trails on wooden walkways; trips can include rafting and swimming. In the Belait district near Kampong Labi, there are more traditional longhouses including Rampayoh. River safaris up the Belait River offer opportunities to visit remote forest communities, longhouses, hot springs and waterfalls. Recreational parks in Belait district include Luagan Lalak, where there is a picnic area and a wooden walkway across the lake. The Billionth Barrel Monument near Kuala Belait is a testament to the continuing importance of oil to Brunei’s economy.

Tourist Attractions

Among the tourist attractions in Brunei Darussalam include His Majesty the Sultan's Palace along Jalan Tutong, the Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque in Kampong Kiarong, the Omar Ali Saiffudien Mosque by the Brunei river, the Jerudong Park, the Royal Ceremonial Hall and Legislative Assembly in the capital, the Brunei Museum on top of a hill overlooking the Brunei river; waterfalls at Mendaran outside the capital; and Rampoyah off the Labi Road in the Belait district; the longhouses in the interior region of the country; the forest reserve at Sungai Liang, Belait district; and the Temburong Field Studies Centre.

A spectacular landmark in the capital is the magnificent new mosque Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah at Lebuhraya Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in Kampong Kiarong. It adds a new dimension to Brunei and to the whole region as one of the grandest monuments of Islam. It is the brainchild of His Majesty with every detail meticulously rendered revealing the true depths of His Majesty's conviction.

Jerudong Park, Brunei's multimillion dollar playland complex, attracts thousands of visitors with its free rides, sights and sounds.

In Temburong, the Kuala Belalong field Studies Centre was born out of the country's most ambitious and extensive scientific study conducted jointly by the University of Brunei Darussalam and the Royal Geographical Society of London involving 70 scientists from eight countries. The centre is continually used for educational purposes.

Brunei provides specialised tours for nature lovers at Sungei Liang where canopy walkways allow nature trippers a closer look at what's happening on the treetops. The walks start in the recreational park through a stretch of Dipterocarp forest where tree species are named and marked. There is a spiral staircase built onto a giant tree and unto the treetop, 60 feet above the ground, where you can view the birds amidst the foliage.

The Omar Ali Saiffudien Mosque is one of the most magnificent in Asia and a fitting symbol of Brunei's perpetual adherence to Islam. It dominates the skyline of Bandar Seri Begawan with its distinctive golden dome. Visitors are welcome to see its mosaic stained glass and marble structure. Completed in 1958, the Mosque is an edifice of classical Islamic architecture. Its minaret, which has a lift inside, rises to a height of 54 metres. Its distinct gold dome rises to 52 metres.

The Lapau (Royal Ceremonial Hall) and Dewan Majlis (Parliament House) form a sprawling complex featuring a blend of traditional Malay and western architecture.The Lapau contains the Patarana (Throne) and it is where numerous solemn ceremonies are held.

The Brunei Museum, on top of a hill at Jalan Kota Batu overlooking the Brunei river, was opened officially in 1972 by HM Queen Elizabeth II. The Malay Technology Museum was built by the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies to mark the nation's independence. The $7 million building is on Jalan Kota Batu near the Brunei Museum.

The Asean Square has on permanent display the works of chosen sculptors from each of the Asean member countries with the theme 'Harmony in Diversity. The Persiaran Damuan (Asean Park) is located on a stretch of land between Jalan Tutong and the bank of the Brunei river.

Recognised as the world's largest water village, Kampong Ayer extends from both banks of the Brunei river. Home to 30,000 people, one can hire a water taxi for a closer look at the houses on stilts. River Cruises are also available. The palace residence of His Majesty the Sultan and the seat of government, the Istana Nurul Iman is situated on the banks of the Brunei river. It is not open to the public except during the Hari Raya when the Royal Family greet their subjects.

Travel offshore in search of world famous gamefish like sailfish, barracuda or tenggiri, and spend an evening of merriment on one of Brunei's offshore islands. This kind of corporate entertainment is made possible by Continental Yachting which has just launched Sport Fishing Charters operating out of Brunei.
