FAQ
When is the best time to sail Southeast Asia?
The dry season, generally November to April depending on the country (Thailand, Malaysia), is the most favourable period; it varies slightly from one sub-region to another.
Does cruising across several countries in the region require specific formalities?
Yes: each country (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia...) applies its own visa and customs clearance rules for a foreign vessel, worth checking before every change of country.
