Asia, the largest of the seven continents, covers about 30% of the world’s land mass. A smorgasbord of cultures dominates its landscape, and a preservation of old-world heritage gives rise to century-old architectural masterpieces, traditional dances, authentic cuisine, and of course, the best souvenir shopping in the world.

Paralleling this fervent belief in tradition is a respect for the natural environment. Asia boasts a mesmerizing variety of natural wonders, including colossal mountains, lush botanical gardens and boiling mud pools.

From the Great Wall of China and Indonesia’s great temple complex of Borobudur to awe-inspiring Mt Kinabalu in Malaysia and the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, Asia is perhaps the most exotic, diverse region in the world.

Getting Around

Asia cruises are increasingly becoming more and more popular as the perfect cruise destination with its crystal blue waters, exotic cultures and close proximity to Australia. Asia cruises leave from Singapore or Hong Kong and can be 3,5,7 or 14 nights in duration. However it is also possible to cruise to Asia from Australia.

Extend your stay in Asia:

The possibilities in Asia are endless once you have finished your Asia cruise. There are a number of touring options whether it be joining an organized tour or exploring on your own.

Touring major attractions may not prove difficult, but when it comes to navigating entire cities or booking cost-saving packages, a tour guide will come in handy. You’ll save time and be able to hit all the local hotspots.

Of course, independent exploration is fun in itself, and if you are adventurous and patient, you may be able to traverse Asia on your own. There’s no greater pleasure than discovering a hole-in-the-wall with savory cuisine or a shop with great bargains, so pound the pavement if you’re inspired!
