Destinations like Asia require visa, and this is a process that costs money and takes time. If you have chosen this route make sure you have enough time to process the visa before the boarding date arrives. It is up to the passenger to take care of this. Shipping companies offer information on their website, but have no responsibility for this. In the case of Russia, a special permit is given, only to go down to the port if there is a previously scheduled excursion purchased from a tour operator or directly on the ship.
Sometimes to get to the port of embarkation you have to do connections, which can be up to three. This implies air tickets and more time is needed for the trip, we must add these flight days, with their respective airport hours and difficulties that may occur.
The other thing to keep in mind is the currency from the port of destination. Although exchange rates vary according to the season, it is good to have an idea of the currency and what the average exchange rate is.
Well, with these three simple ideas I hope I have helped you choose your destination.
