$5999—All-inc Azamara Indian Ocean cruise w/free air & stay

Sail the Indian Ocean from Mauritius to Singapore with this flight-inclusive package from Imagine Holidays. Cruising with the luxurious all-inclusive Azamara, you'll enjoy an intimate experience with no more than 700 other passengers onboard. One of our favourite highlights on this fly-cruise-stay holiday is the three port days in Kerala, well-loved for its picturesque backwaters. On the journey to Singapore, you'll also visit the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo, venture along the country's stunning southern coast with a stop in Hambantota, visit Thailand's famous island of Phuket, spend a day eating your way through Malaysia's foodie city, Penang, before heading to the dynamic metropolis of Kuala Lumpur.

We also love the fact that you'll have two-night, 4-star stays in both Mauritius and Singapore. This means you get some time to enjoy one of the most beautiful islands in the world before embarking on the cruise and time to explore the bustling metropolitan city of Singapore post-cruise.

Starting at just $5999 per person, this 23-night fly-cruise-stay holiday is exclusively launched for Travelzoo members, and you'll save up to $1760 per person compared to self-packaging when booking with Imagine Holidays. That's equivalent to getting the international flights included for free with money to spare.
