Star Collector: Grand Asia Explorer

Cruise overview

Visit the places you’ve always heard of but never experienced—destinations unlike anything else, from the stunning beauty of Mt. Fuji to the ancient wonders of Angkor Wat, all set against a backdrop of unforgettable cuisines, rich history, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Cover all the must-sees with overnight stays in four of Asia’s most dynamic cities – long enough to feel their frenetic energy, immerse yourself in their vibrant cultures, savor Michelin restaurants or world-famous street food, and explore their rich traditions and history. On our small ships, you can cruise shallow waterways like the Saigon River and Chao Phraya River and moor right into the heart of cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, giving you even more time to explore. You’ll also discover less-visited ports and islands, with small-group excursions that immerse you in local culture. Take a food tour through Penang, Malaysia, explore perfectly preserved samurai villages, secretive cu chi tunnels, and bustling floating markets. Drink in the emerald and turquoise beauty of Halong Bay from the decks of a traditional junk. Learn to fish from a sampan on the Mekong Delta, slurp udon like a native in Takamatsu, and cook pad thai in Thailand. From day 1 to day 41, this voyage reveals Japan and Southeast Asia at its finest.
