From a sophisticated Princess Cruises voyage to the lantern-lit streets of old Vietnam, this extraordinary holiday sweeps you from Fremantle through Southeast Asia and beyond.
At the heart of this holiday is a 10-night tour through Vietnam, where you'll explore the labyrinthine network of the Củ Chi Tunnels, wander the tailors' shops and golden lanterns of Hội An, and drive the scenic Hải Vân Pass towards imperial Huế. The finale is the highlight: a night on board a traditional junk boat on the emerald waters of Hạ Long Bay, limestone karsts rising all around you.
Kickstarting your exploration, Sapphire Princess sets the scene, sailing from Perth across the Indian Ocean to the temple island of Bali, the beaches of Phuket, and the colourful streets of Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Days at sea pass in refined comfort, the perfect prelude to the adventure ahead.
