As travel enthusiasts continue to await for international travels to fully resume, they have now embraced cruising as the best way to enjoy a true sense of traveling at the comfort of home with total peace of mind.
This has been well proven by the overwhelming reception of Explorer Dream’s cruise itineraries in Taiwan, where she has debuted as the world’s first cruise ship to resume operations in Asia since July last year.
The widely acclaimed island-hopping itineraries to the idyllic destinations of Penghu, Matsu Island, Kinmen and Hualien return this spring and summer, with special Mazu sailings. In time for the annual “Mazu March Mania” pilgrimage to temples that is held in March of every lunar year.
Explorer Dream will embark on special Mazu sailings throughout the month of April, where guests will have the chance to visit the Penghu Tianhou Temple, Kinmen Jincheng Tianhou Temple and Magang Mazu Temple in the same cruise voyage.
Another highlight of the island-hopping itinerary is the world-renowned annual Penghu International Fireworks Festival, which will return this year from April 22 to June 28. Guests of Explorer Dream can feast their eyes on the drones and fireworks spectaculars from the exclusive vantage point on the cruise ship, at the comfort of the floating resort at sea.
