Whether you like a touch of spice, a sweet treat or a satisfying savoury bite, you’ll find all this and more in the restaurants, cafes and street food stalls that await in every port of call.

So, chart a course for Asia and discover the delectable dishes and mouthwatering culinary creations on the menu right across this captivating continent.

The best time for a luxury Asian cruise holiday is completely down to preference, depending on where you wish to visit and the activities and scenery you want to enjoy. If Japan forms part of your cruise agenda, you might wish to time your stop to coincide with blossoming cherry, sakura or plum trees in the spring. Alternatively, the autumn months of September to November provide another spectacle of colour, with Japanese maples, ginkgos and ash trees turning yellow, orange, red and purple.
Anyone wishing to visit nations further south, such as Vietnam and Cambodia, may seek to avoid the monsoon season from May to October. This also coincides with the summer months when the weather can be uncomfortably hot and humid. A better time to drop anchor in these destinations is from November to April, when temperatures are cooler and you are less likely to experience rain. This is also a great time to chart a course for the beaches of Thailand, being the warmest and driest period of the year in the Land of Smiles.      

Exhilarating sights and inspiring attractions are waiting to be discovered at every stop on your Asia cruise adventure. From captivating temples and magnificent landmarks, to natural wonders and futuristic cities, this magnificent continent has to be experienced to be believed. Wherever your cruise itinerary takes you, you are sure to discover scenery, structures and shrines that will take your breath away. Bask in the sun on the palm-fringed beaches of Thailand, Bali or Vietnam. Be dazzled by the futuristic skyscrapers of Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore.
Explore historic landmarks in Hiroshima, Ho Chi Minh or Beijing. No matter where you drop anchor, you’re sure to be amazed by the phenomenal attractions on offer. You can also go in search of incredible wildlife, seek out some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, trek up towering volcanoes and gaze on glittering palaces. Whatever your preference, your Asia cruise holiday will be full of magical moments that will be remembered forever.
