Hong Kong and Shanghai are just two of the highlights of this enthralling cruise from Singapore to Tokyo. The port of Muara in Brunei is our first stop before we continue along the north Borneo coast to Malaysia’s Kota Kinabalu, with its markets and vibrant waterfront. Sailing on to the Philippines, we call in at Palawan’s Puerto Princesa before stopping at Bohol, with its curious, conically shaped Chocolate Hills. Idyllic Boracay, beloved by snorkelers, is next, before we reach the spirited capital, Manila. After a short hop to Subic Bay, we stop at the endlessly fascinating metropolis of Hong Kong and then sail on to Xiamen on China’s southwest coast. We say goodbye to China at glamorous Shanghai and head to trendsetting South Korea, with visits to Jeju island, the city of Yeosu, Incheon, gateway to Seoul, and Busan, much loved by Koreans for its temple of Beomeo-sa. Heading south, we arrive in Japan in cherry blossom season, stopping first at Fukuoka and then Nagasaki, which was dramatically rebuilt after World War II, before continuing to Kagoshima, across the bay from Sakurajima volcano. After calling in at Beppu, we reach Kochi, with its well-preserved Shogun castle. Our final stops are Osaka and Nagoya before we disembark in Tokyo.
