## Itinerary

### Day 1: Singapore
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

City-states are rare in the present dayâand none are quite like Singapore. In the 20th century, the Southeast Asian nation hurtled itself into the modern world, and it continues to expand its state-of-the-art transportation system and build its edgy skyline. Yet Singapore's urban plan wisely maintained its intimate neighborhoods, many with streets lined with colorful shophouses (a type of building unique to parts of Asia, with businesses located on their ground floors and residences above). Ad...

### Day 2: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 3: Nathon (Koh Samui), Thailand
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

Koh Samui can feel like a screensaver landscape. As if designed by Mother Nature for posters, calendars and daydreams, itâs Thailandâs most famous island for a number of reasons. The beach-fringed coast is edged with vivid, blue water thatâs a surf-and-sand playground for snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, building sandcastles and simply lounging. Along with busy food stalls and restaurants where you can find a whole world of cuisine made with local produce and fresh seafood as well as au...

### Day 4: Laem Chabang (Bangkok)
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Thailand, known as Siam until 1932, is the only country in Southeast Asia (and one of the few in the world) never to have been colonized by a European power. Its capital, Bangkok, reflects the country's unique status. It has embraced modernity on its own terms as the seat of a beloved monarchy that dates back to the 13th century. In this city, Buddhist temples and gilded palaces coexist with the bustle of one of Asia's major metropolises. The contrast between the golden glow of sunrise along the...

### Day 5: Laem Chabang (Bangkok)

### Day 6: Sihanoukville
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM

Known for its white sand beaches, warm Gulf of Thailand waters, and laid back atmosphere, Sihanoukville is a premiere beach lovers' destination. Built in the late 1950s, the town is much newer and more cosmopolitan than most Cambodian provincial cities. Spend the day exploring miles of unspoiled beaches or chose one and swim, snorkel or simply relax under a beach umbrella. Sample shore excursions: Sihanoukville & Environs; Swimming at Sokha Beach Resort. 


### Day 7: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 8: Phu My
**Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM

Whether you are on a wide boulevard admiring the French Colonial architectural influence, or in a bustling market haggling with a street vendor, you cannot escape the culture and history of this bustling city. Ho Chi Minh City is home to many colorful pagodas, cathedrals and palaces-including one of the city's oldest, Giac Lam Pagoda, dating from 1744. Sample shore excursions: Cambodia & Angkor Overland Adventure or Highlights of Ho Chi Minh City.


### Day 9: Nha Trang
**Arrives:** 09:30 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM

White sand beaches, turquoise waters, beachfront cafÃ©s. Nha Trang's days as an underappreciated treasure are over. Still very much intact since the 7th century are the venerated towers of the Cham Ponagar Temple complex. Sample shore excursions: Nha Trang City Tour; Nha Trang Countryside.

### Day 11: Da Nang
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:30 PM

It is home to a stunning 30-kilometer (18-mile) coastline that is popular for water sports such as waterskiing, paddleboarding and surfing. Itâs also known for its great street foodâand an extremely quirky bridge that you can't miss. The place was previously occupied by both the French and the Americans (this was the first place U.S. Marines landed i...

### Day 12: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 13: Halong Bay
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM

Like a combination of Thailand's famous limestone islanded Phang Nga Bay and old Hong Kong's harbor with its dragon-sailed junks, Vietnam's Halong Bay is fast making its way to the top of everyone's Asian must-see travel list. The bay and its almost two thousand islands were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 giving an official stamp of recognition to this natural wonder that has captivated painters and poets for centuries. Halong City has several markets and restaurants worth visitin...

### Day 14: At Sea
