Intercruises now in Asia
Intercruises Shoreside and Port Services, specialised in providing a quality first class and efficient service to its cruise line clients and related partners, has expanded its operations into Asia.
Intercruises, part of the group First Choice Holidays PLC, will provide seamless shoreside port handling services in Asia as a result of the acquisition of the Pacific World group of companies by the Group. Pacific World is one of the leading inbound receptive travel companies in the region. “Their excellent reputation in the cruise handling business will allow us to further develop the Intercruises’ brand” says Mark Robinson, Operations & Sales Director for Intercruises.
The regional office in Asia will be based in Singapore, the busiest cruising port in Asia and will expand to various destinations covering ports throughout China & Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. The allure of an Asian cruise is in the diversity of its shore excursions. With Asian ports located so close together, cruise passengers can fall asleep in one port and wake up in the next!
Intercruises is a Hotelbeds trademark, part of First Choice Holidays PLC. Based in more than 16 countries (including Spain, UK, Portugal, France, USA, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Bulgaria, Turkey, Croatia, Norway, Netherlands, Greece and now in the Asia Region) and with over 89 offices worldwide, Intercruises has 50 years of experience in the cruise and tourism industry. Intercruises currently handles over 1.2 million passengers each year for some of the world’s largest cruise lines, and serves key ports with an extensive range of products such as: full turnaround services, shore excursions, port agency, pre & post hotels and online services.
The commitment of Intercruises’ team in exceeding client’s expectations at every level is what drives the company to be the cruise handling leader all over the world. They work consistently in every port worldwide to maintain the essence and values of their clients’ identity.
