Neon Monsoon – Saigon, Hong Kong & Kobe

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 15-night sailing from Singapore on March 1, 2027 visits Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Da Nang and Hong Kong, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The trip wraps in Yokohama, so you won't retrace your steps. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan tour: 4 countries, from Vietnam to Japan. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Diamond Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 15-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
