A Far East sailing is a great way to sample a large continent from the comfortable and familiar base of a cruise ship. Some cruises focus exclusively on this region of Asia, but many others are part of longer trips that may start in Australia and end in Canada or the United States. In either case, these cruises tend to be a minimum of ten days and include a number of up and coming ports of call. While many cruises start in Shanghai, departures are available from other Asian ports as well.
Slip into Shanghai's colonial past as you stroll along the Bund. Explore Osaka Castle or the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. Get caught up in the round the clock bustle of Hong Kong.
