Ko Samui

Ko Samui shines as a cruise port because it delivers a rare mix of effortless tropical beauty, accessible shore experiences, and authentic Thai hospitality that sets it apart from more conventional ports. As ships dock at Na Thon, guests are immediately within reach of a spectrum of signature experiences: from Chaweng's sun-soaked, lively strand and Lamai's laid-back charm to Choengmon's swim-safe coves and Mae Nam's tranquil coastline, each beach offering its own personality. A short excursion lets visitors explore the iconic Big Buddha, wander through the lanes of Fisherman’s Village in Bophut for seafood and crafts, or trek into the island's jungle trails to waterfalls and viewpoint summits. For a deeper island escape, day trips to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao are easy, with snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, boat trips to Ang Thong National Marine Park, and awe-inspiring sunsets over the Gulf. The port itself supports a smooth, ship-friendly turnaround with modern, well-equipped terminals, abundant duty-free shops, and comfortable lounges that let guests unwind between tendering and tours. Onboard, itineraries celebrate Thai culture with shore excursions led by multilingual guides, seamless transfers, and tailored experiences—from private yacht charters to family-friendly adventures—ensuring that the moment you arrive in Koh Samui, you’ve traded mass-market bustle for an intimate escape that lingers long after you sail away.
