We have put a lot of time and love into crafting this Nomad Cruise 16 Guide so you always have the most important information readily available for our upcoming adventures. Before reaching out anywhere with questions please go through it carefully and make sure to check it regularly to avoid any last-minute surprises and you are well prepared for the journey of a lifetime.
Depending on your nationality and the countries you'll be visiting, you may need to obtain visas prior to departure. It's crucial to research and understand the entry requirements for Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, and the Philippines to avoid any issues that may arise during your trip.
We recommend visiting this website to check the visa requirements. Please don’t leave this to the last minute because visa applications can take a while.
Travelers entering Hong Kong or the Philippines are generally required to show proof of onward or return travel in order to be granted entry. Please be sure to check the specific requirements that apply to your nationality.
For Hong Kong, your cruise ticket will serve as sufficient proof. If you need this confirmation before receiving your Costa boarding pass (usually about 5-7 days before departure), please email us at [email protected], and we’ll provide a confirmation of your participation.
Vietnam visa info:
Since the Nha Trang port is closed for traffic, the ship will be anchored in port and tenders will be taking us to Ana Marina Nha Trang. The address to submit in the visa application is: Nguyen Co Thach Street, Bac Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa.

We highly recommend that you obtain travel insurance before embarking on your journey. While we hope that everything goes smoothly during the trip, unforeseen circumstances such as medical emergencies, cancellations, and lost or stolen belongings can happen at any time. Travel insurance can provide you with peace of mind and financial protection in case something unexpected occurs. With travel insurance, you can enjoy your Nomad Cruise experience to the fullest, knowing that you're covered in case of any mishaps. So, be sure to get travel insurance before you set sail!
If you’re looking for reliable travel insurance for your trip, we recommend our partner Genki Travel Insurance. If you book through our link, we may receive a small commission - at no extra cost to you.

To find flight options to Hong Kong and back from Manila, we recommend using price comparison websites such as kiwi.com or Google Flights. To make the most of your trip, we suggest arriving a few days early to connect with some of the participants before the event and attend our Welcome evening one day before departure.
If your schedule allows, we highly recommend arriving a few days before departure to settle in and start connecting with fellow participants in Hong Kong. Likewise, consider spending a few extra days in Manila after the cruise, or even venture off to nearby exotic destinations with your new friends afterwards.
We will add a list of recommended hotels and areas to stay.
