Overall, an excellent cruise offering a unique itinerary exemplified by diverse cultural experience and supported by superb onboard hospitality. Do take note of the need for advance planning when coursing distant seas, as communications are limited and at times - unavailable. Therefore, it is advisable to have all visas, entry permits and personal finances in order prior to sailing.

Ship tip
Would advise early booking of cruise, excursions and dining options as availability is limited with full complement of passengers (1,250).
Day1 "Highlights of Hong Kong" were minimal as Mother Nature had her way: the Peak Tram closed due to tree fall 2. heavy rains and 3. poor viewing.
Day2 "Lantau Island & Monastery" Quaint fishing village offered cultural touch followed by minimal vegetarian lunch.
The highlight of "Nha Trang Ancient Civilizations" was extended visit to the Truong Son Workshop offering a wonderful display of active artisanal creations.
Day1 "The Mekong Floating Market" with sampan ride, stroll to small village and fine cuisine lunch at local resort made for a culturally rich yet difficult road trip.
