About Asia cruises
Asia offers one of the most varied cruise experiences in the world, from the neon skylines of Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo to the temples of Bali, the beaches of Thailand and the ancient capitals of Vietnam and Japan. Ocean itineraries link major ports across the South China Sea, the Straits of Malacca and the Sea of Japan, while river cruises on the Mekong and Yangtze take travelers deep into the heart of the continent. Winter is the best season for Southeast Asia, while spring and autumn suit Japan and China. Many sailings pair easily with Australia or the Indian Ocean.
