Silk Route Monsoon – Saigon, Phuket & Bangkok

About this cruise

If you've got 26 nights to work with, this sailing from Yokohama on November 27, 2027 through Kochi, Naha and Kaohsiung, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You finish in Singapore. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. It's a proper Southeast Asia tour: 7 countries, from Japan to Thailand. Kochi alone is worth the trip, Japan's castle town on the Shikoku coast. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Diamond Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
