Ocean cruise
Beautiful countries filled with the promise of the East to bewitch and beguile you. Legendary Osaka will astound, while Hiroshima echoes with the solemnity of Japan’s storied past. An overnight in the happy cacophony that is Beijing is ideal for delving into the secrets of this amazing city, six sea days and an overnight in Shanghai complete this journey of enlightenment.

UK to Tokyo
After enjoying your complimentary airport lounge access, fly out to Tokyo arriving the next day, where an included shared transfer will see you to your hotel for a three night stay at the Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku.
Lights, sushi, manga! Sprawling, frenetic, and endlessly fascinating, Japan’s capital is a city of contrasts. Shrines and gardens are pockets of calm between famously crowded streets and soaring office buildings. Mom-and-pop noodle houses share street space with Western-style chain restaurants and exquisite fine dining. Shopping yields lovely folk arts as well as the newest electronics. And nightlife kicks off with karaoke or sake and continues with techno clubs and more. Whether you seek the traditional or the cutting edge, Tokyo will provide it.

Hong Kong to UK
The Hong Kong Island skyline, with its ever-growing number of skyscrapers, speaks to ambition and money. Paris, London, even New York were centuries in the making, while Hong Kong's towers, bright lights, and glitzy shopping emporia weren't yet part of the urban scene when many of the young investment bankers who fuel one of the world's leading financial centers were born. Amid the residential towers are restaurants, shopping malls, bars, convention centers, a nice smattering of museums, and—depending on fate and the horse you wager on—one of Hong Kong's luckiest or unluckiest spots, the Happy Valley Racecourse.
Kowloon sprawls across a generous swath of the Chinese mainland across Victoria Harbour from Central. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of Kowloon peninsula, is packed with glitzy shops, first-rate museums, and eye-popping views of the skyline across the water.
Debark the ship and take your included private transfer to the airport for your flight to the UK, arriving the following day. Contact us for post-cruise hotel stays and tours.
