Oceania Cruises explores the hidden gems of East Asia

Come next year, Oceania Cruises offers travellers an extensive collection of voyages across East Asia that boast destination-rich adventures throughout the region.

Within the new collection of sailings, Oceania Cruises invites guests to explore the wildly diverse landscapes of Asia from the vibrant city of Hong Kong to the lush coves of Bali, and the ancient temples of Kyoto to the stunning turquoise coastlines of Phuket. 

Itineraries range from six-day jaunts to 24-day journeys aboard a variety of Oceania Cruises’ ultra-premium ships. These voyages are the perfect way to absorb the wonders of East Asia in world-class comfort.

An elegant way to enjoy a dynamic region

According to Oceania Cruises president Frank A Del Rio, Asia is one of the most striking regions in the world to explore by sea; presenting travellers powerful contrasts between its ultra-modern and historic influences.

With regard to the new voyages, Del Rio said: “Through our thoughtful itineraries and our incredible array of immersive small group tours, guests can enjoy the region’s timeless heritage and impressive futuristic strides in one trip. [This makes] guests feel like they’re traveling through time. These destinations are truly not to be missed.”

Smaller crowds for bigger experiences

Oceania Cruises’ small, luxurious ships carry no more than 1,250 guests and are more than an elegant means of travel with exceptional guest-to-staff ratios. They are perfectly sized to access some of the most remote ports, giving guests the chance to completely immerse themselves in untouched ancient cultures.

Also, with the line’s wide range of small-group shore excursions, guests can experience the vibrant cultures, cuisines and natural beauty of the region the way they want: Food-focused tours that range from cooking classes in Thailand to market visits in Vietnam; Wellness Discovery Tours that nourish the mind, body and spirit; Go Local Tours that invite guests to discover authentic local life; Go Green excursions that focus on sustainability practices in local communities; and more. 

Off to adventure

For guests looking for even further adventure, there are endless opportunities to fulfil even the most ambitious bucket list items through Oceania Cruises’ overland experiences.

Guests may opt to trek through jungle hills and mountains to discover the wet caves in the Tu Lan system in China, relax on the banks of the Red River in Hanoi, and tour Asia’s most spectacular attractions, including Angkor Wat and the Terracotta Warriors Museum.
