The Far East incorporates so many exotic Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia in the south. North Asian countries visited include the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and China, and there is also scope to stop at Korea and Japan. This is a vast area that remains undeveloped in cruising terms and yet a Far East cruise provides cruisers with the comfort and security from which they explore the wide cultural and scenic diversity on offer. Destinations such as Singapore, Hanoi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo are all accessible meaning you can get a far reaching taste of the oriental world. The Far East is almost always included on world cruises.
