Neon Monsoon – Hong Kong & Saigon

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Tokyo on January 23, 2027 visits Kagoshima, Naha and Kaohsiung, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia. You get off in Singapore, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 7 stops with a breather between each one. 5 countries (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore) across the Southeast Asia, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Sapphire Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
