Asia & Asia Pacific Cruises: Your Extraordinary Eastern Voyage
From the ancient temples of Japan to the bustling markets of Southeast Asia and the pristine islands of the South Pacific, discover a world of wonder on an Asia or Asia Pacific cruise – where timeless traditions and breathtaking landscapes create truly extraordinary adventures.
Your Extraordinary Asian Adventure Awaits
Asia and the Asia Pacific span half the globe, and the cruising here is unlike anything else on earth. Neon-lit Tokyo and Hong Kong give way to the serene rice terraces of Bali and the sacred temples of Thailand, often within a single itinerary. The cuisine alone is worth the voyage: fragrant street food stalls in Vietnam, exquisite sushi counters in Osaka, and spice markets that have traded for centuries. Add tropical warmth across Southeast Asia, cherry blossom season in Japan, and the dramatic coastlines of New Zealand and Australia, and you’ll understand why this vast region rewards the curious traveler year-round.
Ancient Temples & Traditions
Step inside centuries-old temples and sacred shrines where living traditions still flourish. From Kyoto’s golden pavilions to the ancient ruins of Angkor, these places connect you to civilizations that shaped the world.
Extraordinary Cuisine
Savor sushi at a Tokyo counter where the chef has trained for decades. Slurp street pho in Hanoi at a stall that’s been perfecting the same recipe for generations. In Singapore, the hawker centers alone could fill an entire voyage with discovery.
Breathtaking Landscapes
Ha Long Bay’s emerald karst formations rising from turquoise waters. Bali’s volcanic peaks draped in jungle. New Zealand’s fjords carved by millennia of ice and rain. The scenery across this region shifts so dramatically from port to port that every morning brings a completely new horizon.
