Kota Kinabalu

Even for the most experienced traveller, an Asia cruise can’t fail to fascinate. Here you can still glimpse the truly exotic - gilded shrines and floating markets, sampans in mist-shrouded harbours, harvested rice left to dry in the sun.

But equally fascinating is the contrast of the new and the old: from skyscrapers towering over stone-carved temples to bullet trains speeding past rice paddies and tea plantations Silversea’s Asia voyages offer a taste of the best.

8 unique voyages are now available exclusively from Cruiseco for travel between January and April 2017. Six depart from the new Shekou Cruise Terminal in Shenzhen close to Hong Kong, two from Singapore, and finish in Shenzhen, Singapore or Tokyo.

DISCOVER ASIA

Travellers visiting China visit well known cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. However China has so much more to offer. A farm town just a few decades ago, Shenzhen has become one of the most modern and frenetic new Chinese cities, offering visitors the chance to experience the urban and cultural charms of China’s past and present. Centrally located just 17 kilometres from Hong Kong, Shenzhen is no longer China’s hidden gem.

Silver Shadow will make Prince Bay Cruise Port in Shenzhen its home for 5 months in 2017. This modern port will inaugurate in November 2016 and will feature boutique shopping including duty-free, restaurants and cafes.

Travel in Southeast Asia means visiting ports of call with incredible cultural diversity and exotic charm.

The Classic Southeast Asia I journey will visit dynamic cities and ports of stunning natural beauty on its 13 night journey from Singapore to Shenzhen.

Highlights: Guests enjoy a 2 night stay in Bangkok and an overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh City aboard Silver Shadow.

Bangkok is a mesmerising blend of old and new, east and west, and dizzyingly contradictions. Temples and red-light districts, languid canals and permanent gridlock, street side vendors and chic upscale eateries, never failing to leave an impression.

Many of Ho Chi Minh City’s must see attractions are centred around the Vietnam War with the War Remnant Museum and Cu Chi Tunnels casting visitors back to a more sobering time. The meticulously preserved Notre-Dame Cathedral and the 19th-century Central Post Office are just some of the French colonial landmarks this fascinating city has on show.

Highlights: Guests enjoy an overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok aboard Silver Shadow.

A visit to the north of Vietnam is not complete without a trip to Halong Bay, where placid waters give way to more than 3,000 limestone karsts and wind-sculpted limestone formations jut from foggy lagoons. Dotting the bay are tiny islands bordered by white sandy coves and hidden caves, adding to the majestic landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Koh Samui is the most popular tourist destination on the Western Gulf coast of Thailand, which isn’t surprising, considering its gorgeous beaches, perfect weather, and sparkling blue, almost turquoise, water.

Highlights: Guests enjoy an overnight stay aboard Silver Shadow in Xiamen and Tokyo.

From Minami’s neon-lighted Dotombori and historic Tenno-ji to the high-rise class and underground shopping labyrinths of Kita, Osaka is a city that pulses with its own unique rhythm. Though Osaka has no shortage of tourist sites, it is the city itself that is the greatest attraction.

Sprawling, frenetic, and endlessly fascinating, Japan’s capital Tokyo is a city of contrasts. Shrines and gardens are pockets of calm between famously crowded streets and soaring office buildings. In places Tokyo seems to have been frozen in time, yet in others the city never stands still, and change of some kind, is always afoot.
