Because let's be honest… going “home” to see family is incredibly important but it isn't always the most relaxing holiday.
You've got the long-haul flights, jet lag, luggage, the cost and then the pressure to squeeze year's worth of family catch-ups into a tiny window of time.
If you're living in Perth while your family is back in Ireland or the UK there's always lot of travelling involved.
And sometimes what you really want isn't another hectic trip home.
You want your kids to have proper time with their grandparents. You want your parents to make memories with the grandkids. You want everyone together without spending the whole trip rushing around trying to see everyone.
So I started thinking…
What if you didn't have to go all the way home every time you wanted proper quality time together?
What if you met somewhere in the middle instead?
Singapore really caught my attention as a meeting point. Your family flies from Ireland/UK, you fly from Perth, and you all meet in Singapore.
Then you could step onto a Southeast Asia cruise together, unpack once and actually spend your time enjoying each other.
No one is stuck playing host, cooking, or trying to fit everyone into their home.
I've been looking at a few Princess Cruises sailings across late 2026 and 2027, with itineraries through destinations like Malaysia and Thailand.
This isn't about finding a generic bargain.
It's about finding a better way to spend the time and money you're already planning to invest in seeing the people you love.
And because it's a concept rather than one fixed deal, we can look at different dates, routes and cabin options to see what actually fits your family.
So… would you meet your family halfway?
