Escape from winter to tropical warmth, to the unusual, the mystery and romance. An orient cruise typically takes you between Hong Kong, Bangkok Thailand, or Singapore, with stops along the way in Vietnam, Canton and Shanghai China, the island paradise of Bali and Zamboanga, the Thai resort of Phuket, or perhaps Jakarta and Manila. Most Orient cruises include extra time on land as a pre or post package to take advantage of this exciting region of the World.

A number of cruise lines include ports in the Orient and Japan as part of their World Cruise offerings, usually between January and March each year.
