Ocean Discovery – Hong Kong, Nha Trang & Ho Chi Minh City

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 29 nights from Hong Kong on February 23, 2027, visiting Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Koh Samui Island, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia. You get off in Cape Town, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The Southeast Asia route takes in Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius and South Africa, 8 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. 29 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
