Asia

Asia is rapidly becoming one of the world's most popular vacation destinations, thanks to the wide variety of activities and adventures available to travelers. Visit one of Asia's man-made wonders like the Great Wall or Angkor Wat. Explore one of the ancient cities or sacred temples scattered throughout the region's beautiful landscape. Enjoy the seamless marriage of ancient tradition and modern convenience with a visit to a bustling Asian metropolis like Hong Kong, Tokyo or Bangkok. Or, just relax on one of the beautiful beaches of Southeast Asia. Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia all offer pristine beaches, with white sand and crystal water.

Asian cruises present a rich tapestry of ancient traditions, interesting cultures and breathtaking sights. Climb aboard an Asian cruise and discover this complex and fascinating region for yourself.

• Asia cruises are typically 4 to 25 nights in length, but longer cruises are offered.
  
  
• Asia cruises depart from major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Bombay, Bangkok and Hong Kong. A few will depart from Australia and Alaska as they reposition to new cruise regions. Since you'll need to fly a very long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your Asia cruise. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.
