Asian Wonders: Singapore to Hong Kong on Oceania Cruises Nautica
January 15 - 30, 2011
In homage to the opposing Chinese principles of yin and yang, this Asian voyage masterfully contrasts bold metropolises with more intimate ports. Thailand's laid-back Ko Samui, the "Coconut Island," revolves around serene beach activities, while the country's capital of Bangkok is always abuzz and warrants an evening enjoying its nightlife. Oceania Cruises' first foray into Cambodia highlights the joys of Sihanoukville, such as nearby Ream National Park, a lush setting for bird watching. Then, the attention shifts to Vietnam for nearly a week. Spirited Ho Chi Minh City juxtaposes sobering sites like the War Remnants Museum with an abundance of temples such as the Emperor Jade Pagoda. The dramatic, natural scenery of Ha Long Bay precedes Hanoi, where you might spend the evening shopping in the Old Quarter for silk goods. Canton is even more of a commercial powerhouse, known for extraordinary markets.
