Ports of call

Singapore

5 out of 5
Joined the ship here.

Ko Samui, Thailand

4 out of 5
The excursion was good and we managed to get back onto the ship before the tendering chaos some endured.

Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Thailand

2 out of 5
Port was way too far from Bangkok, over 5 hours round trip by bus for 4 hours in the city. The ship stayed here overnight for no good reason, you couldn't visit Bangkok safely on the second day.

Sihanoukville, Cambodia

3 out of 5
Very third world and dirty with nothing much to see.

Phu My (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam

5 out of 5
Excellent excursion with a knowledgeable guide.

Chan May (Hue), Vietnam

5 out of 5
Best excursion of the cruise to Imperial Hue

Ha Long Bay City (Hanoi), Vietnam

5 out of 5
We did a Junk sail in Ha Long Bay, only slightly spoilt by sea fog.

Hong Kong

5 out of 5
Stayed here after our cruise.
