Enjoy a day at leisure in Hong Kong.

Among the world's most glamorous and cosmopolitan cities, Hong Kong sits on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River estuary of the South China Sea. Hong Kong is a regional and global hub for banking, shipping, fashion and food, boasting more than 60 Michelin-starred restaurants. Its 5-star hotels are among the most elegant to be found anywhere with many set in the towering skyscrapers that carpet Hong Kong Island's steep slopes and light up its skyline so beautifully.

Many cruises in Southeast and East Asia start or end in Hong Kong, and it's definitely a great city to spend a day or two sightseeing and finding cultural activities before or after the voyage.

Overnight: New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel or similar, Hong Kong, China

Enjoy another day at leisure in Hong Kong.

This vibrant, buzzing metropolis filled with history, culture and futuristic feats is unlike any other city in the world. You’ll see tradition and innovation coexist in the city’s dazzling skyline, stately dragon boats, abundance of museums and acclaimed food scene.

Before your cruise from Hong Kong, why not pay a visit to the massive Tian Tan Buddha which towers at over 34 metres tall? Savour delicious noodles and other tempting bites at the Temple Street Night Market or set sail on a harbour cruise for unbeatable views of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline (charges apply).

Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan in the Philippines, offers a vastly different experience from Manila’s often overwhelming big-city dynamism. Those who spend some time here will discover a city that combines a laid-back vibe with beautiful sandy beaches and a wealth of marine life. Nearby are lush mountains, rainforests, waterfalls and dramatic limestone cliffs.

Among the most popular sights are the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, where visitors are welcome to celebrate Mass accompanied by choral singing. Don't miss the Palawan Heritage Centre which displays local artworks and crafts. The city's biggest draws are a boat trip through the limestone caves of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, and the beaches and islands scattered around scenic Honda Bay which are perfect for snorkelling.

The most famous restaurant in the city, Kalui, is guaranteed to be a memorable experience for seafood fans. Adventurous foodies can order crocodile sisig, a traditional and delicious stir-fry dish.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Arrive: 10:00 - Depart: 18:00

Discover the idyllic shores of Boracay, a small tropical island in the Philippines where you can relax under rustling palms or partake in thrilling water adventures.

Boracay's most recognised landmark is Willy’s Rock, a tidal island topped with a Virgin Mary shrine. To gain insights into the Philippines' pre-colonial period, consider visiting the Motag Living Museum where you can play traditional games, learn rice-farming methods and make toys from coconut leaves.

Please note: This port is accessed by tender boats. Boarding and disembarking tender boats may involve steps and uneven surfaces. While cruise lines strive to provide ease of access, accessibility options can vary at different tender ports. Passengers with mobility concerns are encouraged to inquire about specific arrangements and consider their individual needs when participating in tendering activities.

Fast-paced and endlessly fascinating, Manila is one of the most densely packed cities in the world with some 1.6 million residents. Characterised by intense contrasts, you'll find soaring skyscrapers next to shantytowns, atmospheric food markets and more.

To immerse yourself in history, head to Manila's oldest neighbourhood of Intramuros which was founded in the 16th century. It's home to sights such as Fort Santiago, Casa Manila and San Agustin Church (entrances not included).

In the upscale financial centre of Makati, you'll find an array of bars, spas and restaurants. Make sure to stop at malls like Glorietta, the landscaped Greenbelt Park and the Ayala Museum which showcases archaeological artefacts and indigenous textiles. In and around Rizal Park are several good museums, while the creative spirit of the city is sprinkled throughout several districts such as the Cultural Centre of the Philippines which host shows, film screenings and plays.

For day trips, Corregidor Island should not be missed.

This attractive city, Taiwan’s second largest and its largest port, offers visitors an alluring blend of ancient and modern culture. The architecture ranges from atmospheric temples and monasteries to soaring commercial skyscrapers and gleaming malls topped with Ferris wheels.

The seafood and noodle stalls around Cijin Island and the Kaisyuan and Jin-Zuan night markets are worth a visit as together, they form the largest night market in Taiwan.

Stroll along Kaohsiung’s impressive harbour to see one of the largest container ports in the world, walk around scenic Lotus Lake with its Chinese pagodas or sit at a bankside cafe on the Love River.

Keelung City’s sheltered harbour and its location on Taiwan’s north coast have meant that over the centuries, it has been ruled by the Spanish, Dutch and Chinese. Long a small outpost of the Chinese empire, the city began to grow in the 19th century when settlement from the mainland was encouraged. From 1895 to 1945, Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese. At the end of World War II, Taipei was handed over to the Republic of China, led by Chiang Kai-shek.

In the decades since, it has seen explosive growth but traditional temples and world-class museums still sit amid the skyscrapers. The modern metropolis also has top restaurants, food markets and upscale shopping.

The Taipei Metro makes it easy to explore the city while Taiwan’s capital is just a half hour away by car or around 45 minutes by train.

Signs of Okinawan culture can be subtle but are easier to pick out in more remote islands of the chain, like Ishigaki. Traditional buildings are a mixture of Chinese and Japanese influences. In the markets, you’ll find fu chanpuru (an Okinawan stir fry dish) and whole-wheat soba, which the Japanese won't touch.

The few people left who speak Uchinaguchi are praying for a movement like the Hawaiian renaissance to bring the culture back and the tipping point is close.

A trip to Ishigaki now is to witness either the beginning or the end.

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 17:30

Naha, the capital of Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture and its biggest city, also serves as the region’s key political, economic and transportation hub. With a fascinating past as the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom and a working port dating back to the 15th century, this city of 300,000 residents is both compelling and laid-back.

Because it was largely destroyed during World War II, there aren’t many old buildings here. However, a few restored remains from the Ryukyu Kingdom era provide historic interest including Shuri Castle, the royal residence and its extraordinary gardens. Other legendary sites include the Royal Mausoleum (burial tombs set inside caves) and the Shurei Gate which appears on the 2,000-yen note.

Don't miss Kokusai Street with two kilometres of shops and the nearby Makishi Public Market which has dozens of food vendors hawking delicious treats. If you want to explore farther afield, Naha is the ideal jumping-off point for excursions to the rest of Okinawa.

You'll find that nothing is old in Osaka as the place was flattened during the war, and then again in 1962 and 1989 by Godzilla. Despite this, Osaka has a number of attractions and interesting things to do.

Sumo wrestlers wait for trains, smelling of chanko-nabe (traditional sumo food for pure energy and calories), while busy markets offer non-stop action on shopping streets.

Osaka is also less than an hour from some of the most beautiful temples, shrines and ancient Japanese tourist attractions in the world.

Widely regarded as one of Japan’s most beautiful ports, Shimizu affords peerless views of Mount Fuji on a clear day and claims the scenic Miho-no-Matsubara pine forest as a backdrop. The port’s temperate climate and rich culture, heavily connected to the surrounding Shizuoka region, have made it one of the country’s prime sightseeing destinations.

One of the main attractions includes Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, designated a National Treasure by the Japanese government. You can't miss Sumpu Castle which was built in 1586, and Shizuoka Sengen Shrine where warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu held his coming-of-age ceremony.

The broader region offers plenty in the way of picturesque coastal landscapes, tea plantations and a wealth of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. The port itself, famed in the 1900s for its tea exports, is today known for its prodigious tuna haul, which is the biggest in Japan. Samples can be enjoyed in many of the port’s restaurants, along with other local delicacies such as sakura shrimp and shirasu (whitebait).

Situated at the southern tip of Japan, Kagoshima is the capital of the prefecture of the same name and is famous for its dramatic views of Sakurajima volcano. One of the most popular activities is taking a ferry to Sakurajima and hiking along the 100-year-old lava flow which is now a grassy peninsula.

The food scene offers opportunities to experience the area’s rich culinary culture, featuring dishes made with locally caught fish and regional specialties. Don't miss satsuma a’ge (deep-fried fish cake) and shōchū, a traditional beverage produced at more than 100 distilleries in Kagoshima alone.

Although the city was officially founded in 1889, more recent events are covered at a museum dedicated to the kamikaze pilots who flew out of Kagoshima. Other popular attractions include the City Aquarium, the Museum of the Meiji Restoration and the City Museum of Art.

With so much to do, you may want to consider the Cute transit card. Available at tourist information offices, one-day Cute cards cover city buses, trams and Sakurajima ferries and also provide discounted admission to several attractions.

Situated in the northwest of Kyushu, the third-largest island in Japan, Nagasaki is one of the country’s most cosmopolitan port cities. Home to around 500,000 residents, the city is a buzzy yet relaxed place with abundant services, shops and restaurants. You'll also find several cultural and historic attractions that are easily explored on foot and via public transportation.

Check out the Nagasaki Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum, which outline the horrific bombing of the city during World War II while making a poignant pledge for world peace. Foodies will enjoy the wide variety of tastes to be found in Chinatown and the Shianbashi Gourmet Street. If you are visiting with children, the Huis Ten Bosch theme park is modelled on a medieval Dutch town and makes for a fun diversion.

Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city, is located in the southeastern corner of the country along the Sea of Japan. It combines a big-city atmosphere with a famously laid-back attitude. It's often described as the San Francisco of Korea thanks to its hilly terrain and close-knit neighbourhoods. It offers a little of everything with fashionable boutiques, sandy beaches, hot springs and mountains dotted with temples.

Cultural highlights include the Gamcheon Cultural Village, the spectacular Haedong Yonggungsa Temple which is built into the side of a cliff and Art Street in Sinchang-dong.

Those who enjoy hiking can explore the famed cliffs of Taejongdae Park, while the white sand beaches at Gwangalli and Haeundae are ideal places to relax by the seashore.

Foodies will love Busan for its excellent restaurants and atmospheric markets, including the low-key Millak Hoe Town Market and Jagalchi Fish Market.

Modern developments like Canal City also lend the city a futuristic air, as does the striking 234-meter Fukuoka Tower, which is clad in mirrored glass and features an observation deck.

On the historical side, sites like the Kushida Shrine and the ruins of Fukuoka Castle offer traditional and cultural insights.

The pond in the centre of Ōhori, Fukuoka's largest park, was once part of Fukuoka Castle's moat. You'll also find gardens, a zoo, an amusement park and a car museum in Uminonakamichi Seaside Park.

The Kanmon Strait is a narrow channel separating Japan's main islands of Honshu and Kyushu. The channel has long been important to maritime transportation as it connects the Sea of Japan and the Inland Sea.

The battle between the U.S. and Japanese navies that presaged the Shimonoseki Campaign in 1863 took place here, and eventually led to Japan's opening up to Western powers. The cannons used during the campaign can today be seen near Shimonoseki’s port, where you can also dine at gourmet restaurants serving local delicacies such as fugu (blowfish).

The port at Kitakyushu (Moji Port) is equally historic and attractive, serving as a gateway to Honshu and Kyushu for centuries as well as an important international trade hub since the late 19th century. Although more industrial than Shimonoseki, it has many Western-style buildings including the neo-Renaissance Mojiko Station.

A highlight of the Kanmon Strait is an annual fireworks display which is the largest in Japan with more than 13,000 rockets fired from both sides of the strait. The spectacle draws more than a million visitors every August.

Located in the southwest of Japan, Hiroshima, the main city of the Chugoku region, is set within a striking natural landscape of mountains, sea and rivers. Home to more than one million inhabitants, it’s famous as the site of the explosion of the world’s first atomic bomb, dropped by the U.S. in August 1945. This cataclysm is sensitively documented at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and associated Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The city offers visitors far more than the tragedy of the recent past. In addition to the memorials to the events of World War II, there is an array of shrines and temples, as well as the city’s reconstructed castle, which was originally founded in the 16th century. Nature lovers will be charmed by the historic Shukkei-en Garden, commissioned in 1620, and Miyajima Island, one of the most scenic spots in Japan. The city is home to a number of art institutions, including the Hiroshima Museum of Art, which houses a collection of Impressionist and Japanese oil paintings, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art and the quirky Mazda Museum. There is also an array of excellent restaurants and bars; the city is known for its okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake, as well as its popular oyster festival each year.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Phillipines
February in the Philippines is at the heart of the dry season, making it an ideal time to visit. The weather is characterized by warm and pleasant conditions, with temperatures typically ranging from 24C to 31C. As one of the driest months, rainfall is minimal, and visitors can expect plenty of sunshine, clear skies, and calm seas, which are perfect for beach trips and water activities.

Taiwan
Taiwan experiences a mild and comfortable winter during February. In the north, including Taipei, temperatures are cool, ranging from 14C to 19C, while the south is slightly warmer. Although there can be occasional showers, the weather is generally very pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities like hiking. Towards the end of the month, the first cherry blossoms may even begin to bloom.

Japan
February is deep winter in Japan, offering a classic cold-weather experience with significant regional variation. Northern areas like Hokkaido are very cold, with temperatures often below freezing −6C to 0C and heavy snowfall ideal for winter sports. Central Japan, including Tokyo, is cold and dry, with temperatures between 2∘C and 10∘C. In contrast, southern Okinawa is much milder, and the end of the month can bring the first signs of spring with early plum blossoms.

Weather
We always suggest referring to an online source for the most up-to-date weather information for your destination/s.

FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points
We do not arrange seat selection. It is essential to highlight that some airlines do not allow pre-selected seats.

While we do not add frequent flyer member details to bookings, you can do this directly with the airline once you have your flight information.

Dietary Requests
Meal options and availability differ between airlines and routes therefore not all dietary requests can be accommodated. If your flight includes meals we will select the most suitable option available based on the dietary requirements you have specified.

• If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Yellow Fever
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival. You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Sightseeing
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

Philippines
You are permitted to enter the Philippines without a visa for a stay period of 30 days or less provided that you meet all of the requirements.

Japan
A tourist visa is not required for Australian or New Zealand citizens visiting Japan for stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business, visiting friends or relatives, etc. that does not include remunerative activities.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. This means it has separate immigration regulations to mainland China. You generally won't need a visa if you intend to be a Visitor for less than 90 days. Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice.

Taiwan
Taiwan has restored the visa-exempt entry scheme for nationals of designated countries, including Australia. Please see Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs website for the visa-exempt entry requirements and restrictions.

You won't need a visa for Taiwan if you meet all these conditions:

Previously approved K-ETA applications will remain valid up to the granted expiry date. Australian passport holders travelling from 1 January 2026 may be required to apply for a K-ETA. Visit the official K-ETA website for more information.

Important:
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.
