Why cruise the Far East?
• A great opportunity to visit these wonderful destinations
of colour and cultural diversity in the comfort of familiar and trusted surroundings.
• Far East cruises are generally offered as a combination
of short break cruises of 3 – 5 nights from either
Singapore or Hong Kong. The other alternative is a longer duration of 11 nights
plus as part of a continuous cruising tour of Asia by the

one country and out of another.
