What if your next cruise connected Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam in one unforgettable trip? 🚢🌏

Southeast Asia sailings often round-trip from or call at Singapore, with stops that may include Thailand and Vietnam. Unpack once and enjoy a region full of memorable contrasts: explore Gardens by the Bay and Singapore’s lively hawker centers, discover Bangkok’s temples and floating markets, experience Ho Chi Minh City, and take in Halong Bay’s dramatic limestone karsts.

These sailings are most common during the cooler, drier months, roughly November through March, making them a wonderful way to trade a Michigan winter for tropical ports.

Flying from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area? Trips typically connect through a major international hub. Passports are required, and entry requirements can vary by country and itinerary, so be sure to confirm the details for your sailing.

✈️ Here's something Michigan travelers should know before booking that cruise: the flight to the ship can cost more than the cruise itself.

Airfares are running well above last year, and peak-season and holiday fares are up even more. If you're flying from DTW, GRR, FNT, or a Lansing-area airport to reach a cruise port, airfare is now the biggest wildcard in the trip budget.

A few ways to keep it in check:

• Book early and watch fares instead of hoping for a last-minute deal
• Choose shoulder-season sailings instead of peak school-break weeks
• Look at drive-to ports when it fits your plans
• Compare cruise-line air programs with flexible fares
• Budget the flight, pre-cruise hotel, transfers, and cruise as one total cost

Want a fly-to-cruise plan that actually fits your budget? We plan the flights, hotels, and cruise together, and we charge a $0 booking fee.

Port days are made for exploring, and a few simple habits can help you enjoy them with confidence. 🚢🧭🔒

• Stick to well-populated, well-lit areas, especially somewhere new. If an unsolicited guide, tour hawker, or driver approaches you on the pier, take your time and check your options.
• Use official taxi lines and agree on the fare before you get in. Book excursions through the cruise line or a reputable operator, and plan your return with plenty of time before all-aboard.
• Keep your phone and valuables out of sight in a zipped cross-body bag. Stay alert to distraction tricks and watch for card-skimming devices at small vendors.
• Check the ship’s daily program, ask crew for local recommendations and areas to avoid, and explore with a friend or family member when you can.
• Know your all-aboard time and leave a healthy buffer to get back. If something feels off, head toward the port or ship.

Keep the cruise line’s port agent details handy. If you’re ever separated from the ship, the port agent is your key contact, and it’s a great reason to have a travel professional in your corner.

Ever wonder how a cruise ship that’s been sailing for years can still feel fresh and new? ✨🚢

Every ship periodically enters dry dock for important technical and safety work. While it’s there, many cruise lines also take the opportunity to refresh or “amplify” the ship. That can mean updated staterooms and suites, new restaurants or lounges, upgraded technology, and redesigned public spaces. Some refurbishments even add a new mid-body section to the ship! 🔧🌊

Why does that matter when you’re choosing a cruise? A recently refreshed ship may offer newer features and amenities at a better value than a brand-new build. It’s worth checking when the ship was last refurbished as you compare options.

Of course, newer isn’t automatically better. A well-maintained ship with a great crew and a layout that suits you can be a fantastic choice, too. The best fit depends on what matters most to you.

Flying from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area? We can help with personalized cruise and custom-vacation planning, and point out which ships have had a recent refresh. ITS Travel Services has a $0 booking fee. Message us or visit www.itstravelservices.com to start planning!

Cruise port day coming up? A little money prep can make paying ashore much easier! 🚢💳

Before you head out:
• Carry a modest amount of local currency and one major credit card with no foreign transaction fee. Keep small bills handy for taxis, markets, and tips.
• Need cash? Choose a bank-affiliated ATM over a standalone machine. If an ATM or card reader asks whether to charge you in U.S. dollars, choose the local currency instead to avoid an extra conversion markup.
• Let your bank and card issuer know your travel dates, and learn local tipping customs for guides, drivers, and restaurant staff before you go.
• U.S. dollars are often accepted in many Caribbean and Mexico ports, but most European ports use euros. Check the specifics for your itinerary.
• Split cash between travel companions, keep it secured in a close-to-body bag, and take only what you need for the day.

Flying from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area to your cruise port? Port-by-port details can vary, and we’re happy to help you plan. ITS Travel Services offers personalized vacation planning with a $0 booking fee!

Looking for an island cruise with sunshine and plenty to explore? 🚢☀️ The Canary Islands and Madeira enjoy mild temperatures much of the year, making them a lovely choice in more than one season.

Depending on the itinerary, you might call at Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Arrecife on Lanzarote, and Funchal in Madeira. Some sailings add stops in mainland Spain, Portugal, or Morocco. Think whale and dolphin watching, Mount Teide views, Madeira’s levada walks and cable car, colorful local markets, and long lunches by the water. 🌊🌴

A helpful planning note for Michigan travelers: these cruises typically leave from European homeports, often on round-trip routes from Spain or the UK. Flights from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area can connect through Madrid, Lisbon, or London. Adding a pre- or post-cruise stay gives you a little breathing room for the time change and flight connections. A passport is required for international travel; confirm current entry requirements before you go.

Ever see “onboard credit” in a cruise offer and wonder what it actually means? 🚢

OBC is spending credit added to your onboard folio: it’s not a discount off your cruise fare. It may come from a cruise-line promotion, a travel professional or agency perk, a past-guest or rebooking bonus, or a future-cruise credit when you book another sailing while onboard.

Check your folio early in the cruise to make sure the credit has posted. Many OBC offers are non-refundable, so unused credit may disappear by the last night. Rules vary: some credits can’t be applied to gratuities, casino charges, or a future-cruise deposit. Confirm the specific terms with the cruise line before you sail.

Good ways to use eligible credit include specialty dining, a spa treatment, a shore excursion, onboard shops, photos, or coffee and treats ☀️✨

Flying from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area to your cruise? We can help you compare offers and spot which ones include OBC you can actually use, with personalized planning and a $0 booking fee. Message us or visit www.itstravelservices.com 🌊

Planning a family reunion, milestone birthday, anniversary, retirement celebration, friends’ getaway, or multi-family vacation? A GROUP cruise can make the experience easier to organize, and more fun! 🚢

A group block means reserving a set number of cabins under one group name or code. Group space generally needs to be held early because inventory is limited.

Before booking, your group should:
✅ Choose an itinerary and sailing date that work for the most schedules
✅ Agree on cabin categories and a comfortable budget
✅ Let each household pay for its own cabin instead of one person fronting the money
✅ Set realistic deposit and final-payment deadlines
✅ Use one shared group name or code so everyone stays linked

Some group amenity benefits (such as onboard credit, a group cocktail party, or a tour conductor/tour leader berth credit) depend on the cruise line, the number of cabins actually booked and sailed, and the current promotion. Always confirm the exact terms up front.

Traveling from different parts of Michigan? Guests may fly from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area. When it makes sense, coordinate flights and an arrive-the-day-before hotel stay as a group. That extra buffer night helps protect everyone’s sailing plans. 🌴

ITS Travel Services provides personalized group planning with a $0 booking fee. Visit www.itstravelservices.com or message us to start planning your group getaway!

Got a cruise cabin upgrade offer after booking? Don’t click “accept” until you know exactly what you’re getting! 🚢

There are two common types:

A complimentary upgrade usually keeps you in the same general cabin category, but the new location may be less desirable, such as an obstructed view or a cabin under the pool deck.

A paid upsell or bid program may offer a balcony, suite, or premium location. These offers are usually non-refundable and you’re charged only if the cruise line accepts your offer.

Before saying yes:
✅ Confirm the exact new cabin number and location.
✅ Check the deck plan for noise above or below you.
✅ Verify whether drinks, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, concierge service, or suite-lounge access are included.
✅ Remember: you can decline and keep the cabin you selected.

Guests with a “guarantee” fare may have less control because the cruise line assigns the cabin later. If you paid to choose a specific cabin, accepting an upgrade may move you. Tell your travel professional upfront if you want to stay put.

Upgrade offers are usually based on availability, not loyalty status, and they may expire within a day or two. Having a travel pro watch the offer window can help you respond quickly and confidently.

Planning to sail from Michigan through DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area? ITS Travel Services offers personalized planning and a $0 booking fee to help you choose wisely before embarkation.

Could your next big adventure be on a real sailing yacht, not a floating resort? ⛵

The Orient Express Corinthian is the world’s largest sailing yacht, introduced in May 2026 with just 110 guests and 54 suites. It offers an ultra-intimate way to experience the sea, with Mediterranean summers and a 14-day Lisbon-to-Barbados ocean crossing in the fall.

This is the kind of journey worth planning well ahead, especially for a retirement celebration, milestone birthday, anniversary, or simply a once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list escape. 🌊

A few ways to think about the trip:
• Fly from DTW, GRR, FNT, or the Lansing area to one European gateway, such as Lisbon.
• Add a few land days before or after the voyage to enjoy more of the destination.
• Expect a quieter, more personal onboard experience with a small guest count and true sailing-yacht atmosphere.
• Confirm current itineraries, travel requirements, and availability before making plans.

Our team provides personalized cruise and custom-vacation planning, with a $0 booking fee through ITS Travel Services. We can help connect the flights, land stay, and sailing into one thoughtful itinerary.
