Whether you’re a world traveler or a first-time cruiser, a bucket list is incomplete without venturing into Asia and the land down under! On an Australia / Asia cruise, experience the best of breathtaking scenery, pristine beaches, and vibrant cities all in one unforgettable voyage. Southeast Asia is home to thriving cities that have become top destinations for shopping, sightseeing, picture-perfect beaches, and delicious cuisine!

Southeast Asia has some of the most beautiful islands for a perfect tropical escape. Swim through clear blue waters, surrounded by lush greenery and powdery white sands in Langkawi, Malaysia, or Palawan, Philippines, as well as Bali, Indonesia. Phuket and Koh Samui in Thailand are also island getaways waiting to be discovered! Imagine yourself in paradise, hearing nothing but the waves of the ocean, and feeling the sun on your skin.

Singapore is a melting pot of diverse cultures, reflected in the colorful architecture and mouth-watering local delicacies. Get your shopping fix along the popular Orchard Road, while stopping for a bite – or two – in the many restaurants across the country. Once in Bangkok, visit the Royal Palace – a spectacular palatial complex honoring the Royal Family, as well as temples decorated with beautiful, intricate details. Beat the heat with a selection of unique tropical fruits or feast in authentic Thai cuisine. At the edge of the South China Sea, you’ll come across Hong Kong, an exciting city full of life and endless entertainment. Whether you’re dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a food stall featuring local delicacies, or shopping in an outdoor market, there’s so much to see and experience!

Not far from Southeast Asia is where you’ll find Australia, where you can explore everything that the land down under offers in Darwin, Sydney, Brisbane, and more! See the iconic Sydney Opera House and experience first-hand why Sydney is considered one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Visit the famous Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Darwin or make a new furry friend with the koalas in Brisbane. Catch the sunset along the pristine coastline in Perth, the capital city, combining Australia’s natural beauty and eclectic culture.
