If you happen to be in East Asia next month, this cruise could be a cool plan for your vacation. On January 10, the MSC Bellissima departs from Keelung (~25 km from Taipei) and heads to Shanghai. On the way, not only do you get to see Miyakojima (Japan), but you also get to spend two days in Okinawa. The entire 6-night cruise only costs €389 per person, including tips.
Not only are tips included in the listed prices, but so are all meals, water, coffee, tea, and milk – all day long in the buffet area.
