Asia's storied past bursts into colorful life on this 10-night cruise. Casting off from Bali, we'll sail north up Makassar Straight to Sandakan, gateway to picture-perfect beaches, turquoise seas, and must-visit Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Puerto Princesa in Palawan is the perfect jumping-off spot to hop around the Philippine's emerald islands, followed by beautiful, white-sanded Borcay, then two days in buzzing Manila, Southeast Asia's second-largest city. Get plenty of rest during the following day crossing the South China Sea because our last stop is Hong Kong, where you'll overnight so you can shop 'till you drop, take in the jaw-dropping futuristic skyline from the Pearl River, and get pleasantly lost among the city's labyrinthine markets.
