Enchanting Southeast Asia – Singapore to Hong Kong
About this cruise
Clear the calendar from February 19, 2027. This one's 12 nights from Hong Kong, and the route visits Halong Bay, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Koh Samui Island and Singapore. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You wind up in Singapore, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. The Southeast Asia route takes in Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Solstice keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. While everyone else deals with the February cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
