Grand Asia Exploration & China Highlights

Awaken your inner explorer

There's a new way to see the world, and it doesn't look much like cruising as you know it. Explorations by Norwegian sails the 656-guest Regatta — small enough to slip into ports the big ships can't reach, and to stay after dark when everyone else has gone. Days ashore stretch into evenings. Overnight stays let you see Reykjavik, Quebec City or Halong Bay the way locals do. Onboard, the fuss is already handled. Beverages, speciality dining, wi-fi, gratuities and port charges are all part of the fare, along with a USD $50 shore credit in every port. And because every journey here is booked as a complete holiday, your flights from Australia, your hotel stays and your transfers are sorted before you leave. Ten journeys are open now, from a 17-night run through the Barrier Reef to Bali, to 37 nights crossing the Atlantic by way of Greenland. Departures run from March 2027 through to mid-2028 — plenty of time to choose your season and plan properly.
