Today, enjoy a day at leisure to explore Singapore. Singapore is a spectacular, futuristic vision of utopian city life. A multicultural population of almost six million calls it home, this is a city designed with space to breathe, gorgeous outdoor parks, massive indoor greenhouses, and beautiful recreational spaces spread between the City of Gardens' skyscrapers and soaring structures.

Once a quiet fishing village, now a glistening island city-state and an international beacon of science, education, and technology. Singapore's efficient public transport system whips residents and visitors across the city's neighbourhoods in a heartbeat. Glorious fountains and audacious skyscrapers loom up - nodding to traditional feng shui beliefs - and putting on dazzling illuminated displays after dark. The lush green botanical gardens are a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering 74 hectares and decorated with impressive colourful orchids, or wander the canopy-strung bridges of MacRitchie Reservoir Park.

Head for the iconic Marina Bay - a landmark of the city crowned by three interconnected towers, which watch out over island-sprinkled waters. Jaunt between Little India and the atmospheric Chinatown in minutes, where beautiful temples - like the Chinese Thian Hock Keng Temple and Hindu Sri Mariamman Temple add rich cultural intrigue.

Singapore's cuisine is a mouthwatering fusion of its Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, and Malay influences, taking and enhancing the best of each. Delight in dishes in towering restaurants, or toast the glowing skyline with the city's eponymous gin-soaked cocktail - the Singapore Sling.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do.

Arrive: 13:00 - Overnight

Ho Chi Minh City is a chaotic, enchanting swirl of sensory stimulation, a place of incense-infused temples, colonial architecture, warm people, and delicious street food. Formerly known as Saigon, the city was affectionately labeled the Pearl of the Orient by the French.

Afternoons here drift by lazily on the gentle chaos of the River Saigon, as taxi boats and motor canoes flit up and down, and parks fill out with locals playing jianzi, kicking shuttlecocks back and forth. The French colonial imprint is evidenced in the Saigon Notre Dame Basilica, which stands out with its grand double bell towers and red brick hue, and just across the road, the celebrated Ho Chi Minh Post office. Or you could journey out to learn more about the Vietnam War at the Remnants Museum and offers a glimpse of conditions, resilience and ingenuity among the 250-kilometre network of the Cu Chi tunnels.

The French also caffeinated this city with coffee culture, and a refreshing iced coffee, from the innumerable coffee shops, will perk you up instantly. Why not taste the street food to get under Ho Chi Minh City's skin, with humble restaurants serving up rich flavours - from the Vietnamese take on the baguette, a banh mi sandwich - to the local staple of pho, a delicious noodle soup.

The Tortoise Pagoda is a tranquil escape and a serene place of worship for Vietnamese who practice Buddhism and Taoism, while the Vietnamese medical museum has a fascinating collection of remedies and potions - some dating back to the Stone Age.

Chan May is your gateway to Hue (60 kilometres) or Da Nang (40 kilometres). Experience the rich imperial past, stoic resilience, and blissful beaches of central Vietnam, as you delve deep into this fascinating country's past and present. The sheer beauty and vitality of the scenery will amaze you, as you explore the stories this now tranquil land has to tell - all the while surrounded by rolling rice paddies, freely grazing water buffalo, and soaring limestone scenery.

Cut in half by the evocatively named Perfume River, and home to a spectacular sprawling citadel, Hue is a true experience for the senses. Vietnam's timeless beauty outshines the shadows of its past. Hue's Old City was once the jewel of Vietnam, standing proudly as its Imperial Capital. Lotus flowers now twirl peacefully in the grand moat around its mighty walls, which encase a spectacular array of palaces, temples, and regal residences.

Danang's Marble Mountains rise dramatically close by and are scattered with Buddhist shrines and plunging caves. While there is an endless treasure trove of rich cultural experiences waiting here, it's hard to resist the call of Da Nang's idyllic beaches, where white sand gives way to a fringe of palm trees. The undulating humps of the city's Dragon Bridge soar across the wide River Han, and this ambitious structure comes alive at night, when strobing light shows illuminate its flowing form, and the bridge's dragon head rasps fire into the dusk.

Arrive: 14:00 - Overnight

The extraordinary, mossy limestone mountains that rear from the waters of Ha Long Bay form one of the most spectacular natural landscapes on the planet. At least 1,600 green islands rise over a flotilla of strung-together fishing boats and floating villages. Spectacular at any time, sunset bathes the remarkable limestone formations in warm, honey-colored light, adding an extra layer to the seascape's heart-stirring beauty. Emerald green sea washes around this immense network of islands and limestone outcrops, which you can explore at leisure on junk boats and by sea kayak.

Local legend says the islands were formed when a dragon descended, spitting fire and emerald and jade jewels across the water to deter invaders. The sheer scale points to the supernatural - but scientists stubbornly maintain that this collection of towering sculptures was the result of various forms of erosion and a flood of seawater following the ice age. The water continues to chip away at the islands, and you can venture into the mouths of caves hollowed out by the relentless wash of the waves.

Dau Go Cave and Sung Sot Caves are adorned with rows of spectacular stalactites, descending like dragon teeth from above. Investigate via boat, and find island jewels like Ti Top - a sharp, slope of land decorated with a crisp fringe of gleaming sand. Located in Vietnam's northeast, the unique topography that forms the islands continues into neighbouring national parks like Cat Ba, rising and falling in a similar, jaggedly undulating fashion.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Enjoy an extended three night stopover in Hong Kong aboard Silver Muse. Get ready to ring in the New Year tonight, with celebrations both on board and in the port of Hong Kong.

Overnight in port

A spectacular, serrated skyline of soaring towers and neon lights, Hong Kong is a vibrant, immersive metropolis and cultural hub. Dramatic harbour-front light shows, the Symphony of Lights, blares into life each evening to transform the waterfront's gleaming buildings into a colourful canvas - best seen from the Star Ferry. This is a city where future and tradition collide - perhaps best illustrated by the skyscrapers that feature gaping holes, designed to allow spirit dragons to soar from the hills to the waterfront unimpeded.

Wander flowing shopping streets, wade through sprawling markets, and soak up the neon glory of this one-of-a-kind city - which continues to reach for the sky. Hong Kong's dense jumble of activity is one of its main appeals, but once you've felt the thrill of rising to towering observation decks, to see the soaring city from above, it's surprisingly easy to find peace among Hong Kong's intense urban wonders.

Victoria Peak is the highest point, and it offers staggering views down over the city and harbour. The Peak Tram funicular takes people to the top, to the vantage point that was historically adored by the rich for the cooler air found here, away from the busy bustle of the city streets. Many elaborate temples add a tranquil element to Hong Kong's whirr, and Tin Hau temple has a surprisingly urban location, considering its dedication to the Goddess of the Sea.

Enjoy another day to discover the real Hong Kong at your own pace, why not to head towards the east of Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and beyond. Amid the residential towers are restaurants, shopping malls, bars, convention centres, a nice smattering of museums, and - depending on fate and the horse - one of Hong Kong's luckiest or unluckiest spots, the Happy Valley Racecourse.

Kowloon sprawls across a generous swath of the Chinese mainland across Victoria Harbour from Central. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of Kowloon peninsula, is packed with glitzy shops, first-rate museums, and eye-popping views of the skyline across the water. Just to the north are the teeming market streets of Mong Kok and in the dense residential neighbourhoods beyond, two of Hong Kong's most enchanting spiritual sights, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Chi Lin Nunnery.

Laem Chabang is your gateway to Bangkok (120 kilometres), one of the world's most fascinating cities and a place to plunge right in at the deep end. Experience a voyage of flavour, and an all-out sensory assault. Immense tradition and relentless modernity combine, and it's these contrasts and collisions that make Bangkok the remarkable, all-encompassing experience it is. One second you can be dodging whizzing hordes of mopeds, the next, absorbed into the blissful tranquility of a silent temple courtyard. Ornate towers and places of worship blend in alongside cathedral-like shopping malls and skyscrapers, while the streets hum with bartering from the markets that spill out wherever you walk.

Part of Bangkok's allure is that Iife is well and truly played out on its streets. Stalls of flowers, spices, and silk fabrics fill bustling alleyways with color and exotic fragrances. You can find fine dining hidden away here - including Michelin-starred restaurants - but the real Bangkok is the feast of flavours on street level - where authentic Pad Thai is cooked up alongside spicy papaya salad.

To truly know Bangkok, sail the waters of the Chao Phraya River, a cooling thoroughfare through the city. Bangkok has glorious temples leaning up against the river's banks, filled with intricately decorated Buddha statues. One of the country's most sacred sites - the Temple of the Emerald Buddha - rises on the river bank, while the beautiful Grand Palace, and the skyscraper-like tower of the colourful Wat Arun temple, also watch out over the water.
