Jade Meridian – Halong Bay to Singapore

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 16 nights from Hong Kong on December 19, 2027, visiting Halong Bay, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), with additional stops along the Southeast Asia. The trip wraps in Singapore, so you won't retrace your steps. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Crossing 5 borders through the Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Singapore: A garden city where cultures converge. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Noordam takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 16 nights well spent.
