Cruise overview

Embark on a journey to the heart of East Asia, where ancient cultures and contrasting landscapes create a fascinating mosaic. In China, Shanghai reveals a vibrant character, combining historical heritage and bold modernity. In Naha, in Japan’s Okinawa islands, Japanese traditions, a UNESCO-listed historic site and tropical shores create a subtle balance, while in Taiwan, the island’s identity is shaped by multiple influences, amid temples, mountains, lively cities and picturesque villages. Next, the Philippines reveal the full diversity of the journey: verdant hills and stone villages in Batanes, authentic scenes of daily life in Claveria, and emerald waters dotted with islets in Hundred Islands National Park. Here, remote lands, living traditions, welcoming communities and unspoilt landscapes combine to create a journey of remarkable intensity.

Itinerary

Day 1

Busan


White-sand city beaches and hot-spring resorts may not be everyone’s first image of Korea, but these are what Koreans flock to Busan for all year. And there are plenty of opportunities for rest, relaxation, retail therapy, and even a touch of glamour every October with the Busan International Film Festival. Busan’s beaches are the big summertime draw but there is plenty to be seen year round. Quintessential experiences include taking some rest and relaxation at a local spa and exploring the Beomeosa temple complex.
