East Asian Archipelagos – Saigon, Keelung & Tokyo

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 27 nights from Singapore on February 16, 2028, visiting Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Da Nang and Hong Kong, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The trip wraps in Tokyo, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 13 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan coast: Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Keep an eye out for Naha: Okinawa's vibrant gateway to Ryukyu heritage. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Diamond Princess has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Singapore itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 27 nights well spent.
