An Asia cruise is a voyage of discovery, an experience of the cultural extravaganza of Asian civilizations. Asia is the biggest continent with the longest coastline and the highest mountains in the world, the Himalayas. To explore the true majesty of its magnificent past, to experience the magnanimity of its religion and its people, embark on an Asia cruise. You will never, ever forget the experience.
An Asia cruise takes you to the opulence of Singapore and Hong Kong, definitely worth a look. The jungle temple in Thailand, the Konark temple of India, or the peaceful eyes of Buddha in Vietnam redefine the faith and religion of believers and non-believers alike. The graceful dance forms of India, the Japanese tea ceremony or Chinese theatre, all have enormous cultural significance that are part and parcel of the region’s tradition. You become a mute spectator of such enormous cultural and traditional fervour entwined in every walk of life, so similar to each other yet very distinct in their own right.
The Asia cruise travels on the Malaysian, Vietnamese and Thai seas. You can splurge yourself on pretty gifts from the fabulous shopping arcades of Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong. Be a part of a unique shopping experience with unbelievable discounts and promotional offers. Come to the Indian Hollywood, Bollywood, know what wholesome entertainment can be by watching a Hindi film.
Let your Asia cruise be a medium to explore enchanting cultures and original landscapes with their own unique fervour and flavour. You can go on a Far East and South Pacific cruise, a South East Asia cruise or an Asia and Middle East cruise. Every cruise has its own tale to tell, its own mystery to unfold.
After you have chosen an Asia cruise, you can expect quiet elegance and no over-the-top gimmicks. You can do your own thing at your own pace as if you were in a private villa. If you like to mind your own business you can jog a while, swim a leisurely lap or read a nice novel. You can take part in some activity, join exercise classes, get a soothing massage or enjoy a sauna. Some cruises even offer helicopter sightseeing, whitewater rafting, and nature walks. You can find spas, health clubs and even wedding chapels on your cruise ship. Special children's play areas and centres are found with lots of games and entertainment.
The cruise people often invite guest speakers to share anecdotes, mostly about the region you are sailing, giving you interesting insights. Most cruises provide excellent service: every guest gets personalised attention; dedicated and observant staff look after you well. You can find any information you require from the staff, like where to find souvenirs, where to shop for local handicrafts or where to find the best restaurants.
Asia cruises have special entertainment areas offering fine entertainment, from special themed events, hilarious comedies and melodious musicals to exquisite dance performances that leave you spellbound.
And spellbound and mesmerised you will be when your Asia cruise journey ends. Surely and truly, you will be a transformed person if you take the experience to your heart.

Some 700 islands make up the archipelago of the Bahamas, of which only around 50 are inhabited. Cruise lines generally focus on just two Bahamian ports - Nassau and Freeport.

On the other hand, if you don't mind gliding peacefully through some
