Holland America Noordam | Visiting Koh Samui on a Cruise? Here’s What You Need to Know

In episode 3 of our Holland America Noordam Asia cruise we reach our first port of call Koh Samui in Thailand. We give tips and advice on what to do in Koh Samui and show you what we get up to. We have spent many land holidays in Koh Samui so know the island well, and it was so good to be back! Cruise ships can't dock in Koh Samui so tenders (small boats) are used. Just so you are aware this is is not suitable for those that have disabilities. Back on the Noordam cruise ship we enjoy a delicious dinner and a lovely evening at one of our favourite places on the ship! We spent 15 nights on Holland America Noordam in February 2025, cruising around Asia. Ports included Singapore - Koh Samui Thailand, Laem Chabang Thailand, Sihanoukville Cambodia, Phu My Vietnam, Da Nang Vietnam, Halong Bay Vietnam and Hong Kong.
