The exotic lands of eastern Asia have long tempted travellers and adventure-seekers from around the world. China with its grand history, Japan with its rich heritage, the Philippines’ stunning geography, Indonesia with its spice-filled ports: all of these offer unique holiday experiences. Cruising around the eastern Asian seas is sure to delight and inspire, and P&O cruise lines offer special Far East journeys that will make your holiday truly unforgettable.
Routes around the Orient range from quick hotspot trips to leisurely extended cruises around Southeast Asia. Whatever your budget and interest, there will be a route for you; the tricky part is deciding where you want to go! Gorgeous Halong Bay in Vietnam, gateway to Hanoi, is home to emerald seas and some of the most stunning islands in the South China Sea. Bustling Manila in the Philippines combines metropolitan buzz with traditional culture, offering world-class museums and shopping districts. Why not swim the glorious waters at Koh Samui or satisfy your craving for Thai street food in Bangkok? For those wishing to pick up hand-crafted souvenirs and to see true local culture, head to Kuantan in Malaysia and pick up gifts made from native industries by locals. If relaxing your sea legs on a long, pure white beach fringed by peaceful pine trees is the order of the day, make that day the one to visit Sihanoukville, otherwise known as Kampong Saom, in Cambodia. As well as visiting ports that are true Oriental treasures, P&O also call at tourist favourites such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Kuala Lampur.
