Gilded Pagoda Odyssey – Halong Bay & Yokohama

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 31-night sailing leaves Singapore on February 13, 2027 and visits Klang, Pulau Langkawi Island and Pulau Penang Island, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia. You wind up in Yokohama, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 15 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Southeast Asia tour: 6 countries, from Malaysia to Japan. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) stands out. It's Motorbike energy and French-colonial elegance. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Diamond Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
