Gilded Pagoda Circuit – Bangkok, Nha Trang & Saigon
About this cruise
11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Singapore on October 30, 2026 and the route takes you through Klang, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Laem Chabang (Bangkok) and Koh Samui Island at a pace where there's never any need to rush. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 3 countries along the Southeast Asia coast: Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. People come back from this cruise talking about Laem Chabang (Bangkok): Gateway to the City of Angels. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Royal Princess has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Singapore itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
