Cruises to the Far East
It is this combination of calm and busy, ancient and modern together with the various cultures of the individual countries that makes this part of the world and Far East cruises in particular, so fascinating. There will be far reaching experiences to enjoy, such as the quiet reverence of a Buddhist temple, the ornate temples that line the banks of the river in Bangkok and the sense of vitality in the big cities like Singapore and Hong Kong.
For a complete contrast Far East cruise holidays are also likely to visit Thailand with the island of Phuket being one of the most popular destinations. Here you will find a tropical paradise with the kind of beaches you can only dream of but there is also amazing snorkelling, windsurfing and trekking for those that enjoy a bit of action.
Far East Cruises - Highlights
You’ll find something new and exciting in every port of call on your Far East cruises. Take in the view from the world’s tallest building in Taiwan, indulge in some satays and exotic curries in a Bangkok cafe, explore beautiful temples in Cambodia and shop till you drop in Singapore’s famous Arab Street, haggling over silks and sarongs as you do.
Another highlight of Far East cruise holidays must be Hiroshima, which since the atomic bomb blast of 6 August 1945 has undergone a remarkable rebirth. The Peace Memorial Park is located at the epicentre and is well worth a visit. Nearby Miyajima Island is considered one of Japan’s top three scenic views, famed for its floating tori monument and shrine, it will be a wonderful memory from your Far East cruise holidays.
