Today on board my Celebrity Millennium cruise in Asia, we're docking in Hambantota, Sri Lanka for one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences of my 40+ cruises: a safari at Udawalawe National Park where we encountered hundreds of wild Sri Lankan elephants up close. After the safari, we visit the Elephant Transit Home Sri Lanka, where orphaned baby elephants are rehabilitated and released back into the wild in one of Asia's most successful conservation programs. But back on board, the captain issues a gastrointestinal illness warning and a letter arrives at my stateroom! Then we're off to Phuket, Thailand, where I take on Celebrity Cruises' Taste of Thai private dinner excursion and give you my full honest review of whether it's worth the price tag. From the moment we left port, this day had everything: breathtaking wildlife, a deeply moving conservation story, unexpected drama on board, and a culinary adventure in one of Asia's most beautiful destinations. Whether you're planning a Celebrity Cruises Asia itinerary, researching what to do in Phuket, or just curious what really happens when illness spreads on a cruise ship, this one is for you. 📍 DESTINATIONS COVERED Hambantota, Sri Lanka Udawalawe National Park, Sri Lanka Phuket, Thailand 🚢 SHIP Celebrity Millennium — Celebrity Cruises Asia Cruise 📌 THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO Udawalawe National Park Safari Elephant Transit Home Sri Lanka Celebrity Millennium Norovirus Outbreak Celebrity Cruises Taste of Thai Private Dinner Tuscan Restaurant Celebrity Millennium Phuket, Thailand Tender Port LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for new cruise and travel content every week.
