The appeal of the Far East lies not just in the ever-changing physical landscape, but also in the fascinating political and historical forces that have shaped each and every country.

Destinations such as China, Vietnam and Burma have only recently opened up to the west, and there are a host of cruise options that give a wonderful insight into these relatively unknown lands. This region of the world is often difficult to negotiate overland, so travelling by sea or by river means that city traffic and the poor rural infrastructure is simply not an issue.

Cruises in the region start from gateways such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangkok or Tokyo, enabling you to combine a city break with your voyage. Extending your stay with a land-based trip to places such as Cambodia's Angkor Wat or the historic cities of China is an excellent complement to an ocean voyage.

The best time of year to go varies significantly depending on where within the region you choose to visit so do call us to discuss exactly what you're looking for.
