Things to Do on a Cruise to Asia

The lands of China, Japan and Korea all have an air of mystery to most Americans. This is because for many years travel was restricted (or even forbidden), so Asian culture is still filled with mystery – and in many instances hasn’t been overwritten by modern technology and trends. That’s not to say that Asia is stuck in a time warp, because with one trip to Tokyo you’ll feel like you’ve been catapulted into the future. Outlined below are some of the top things to do when cruising to Asia and the Far East:

Great Wall of China

  • Take a stroll along the Great Wall of China. The wall was built in several pieces over time, but connected throughout the centuries. Though it’s not really visible from space, it’s still an incredibly large landmark at over 5,000 miles long.  
  • Attend a Sumo wrestler tournament in Japan. This traditional Japanese sport has many customs attached to it, and you’ll be surprised at how exhilarating the matches can be.  

Forbidden City in China

  • The Forbidden City is the palace complex that was home to China’s emperors from 1420 to 1912. There are a number of exciting artifacts here, so take a tour to get better insight into China’s past.  
  • Celebrate with a drink and some karaoke. Japan is the birthplace of this beloved pastime that has been adopted the world over. In Japan, most karaoke is done in a small room with just your friends.  

Korean Folk Village

  • Head to Chengdu where the giant panda’s live. You can learn all about these adorable creatures at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.  
  • Take a fun trip to the Korean Folk Village just outside of Seoul where you can see what life was like centuries ago in Korea and discover the crafts and skills for which Korea and its people are known.

10 best Asia cruises for a bucket-list trip

Buddhist monks walking inside Angkor Wat temple

It would be easy to argue that a cruise is the best way to see Asia, especially for first-time visitors to the region. Many cruise lines build robust itineraries designed to visit as many bucket-list destinations as possible across numerous countries. From the bustling streets of Tokyo and the tranquil waters of Vietnam's Ha Long Bay to the ancient temples in Cambodia and street food vendors of Singapore, cruising allows travelers to uncover the richness of Asia with ease and comfort.

Other cruise lines specialize in one specific area, such as the Yangtze or Mekong rivers or the highlights of Japan. These narrow-focus cruises provide a culturally enriching look at centuries-old traditions or access to hidden gems that traditional tourists might overlook.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Cruise lines with ships large and small operate throughout Asia and vary in their levels of luxury, offshore offerings and onboard amenities. Many travelers to Asia are looking for two-week or longer cruises to help make the most of a long trek across the Pacific; however, both shorter and longer itineraries abound to ensure there's an Asia cruise for every vacation length and budget.

Here are 10 of the best Asia cruises to consider.

Crystal's 16-night Singapore to Hong Kong cruise

cruise from europe to asia

Over a little more than a two-week span in January 2025, passengers on Crystal's Singapore-to-Hong Kong itinerary will stop at some of the most popular ports in Asia. You'll first spend a few days in Thailand, where you can attend a meditation in Koh Samui or visit an elephant sanctuary where you'll feed the herd sugar cane and bananas before giving them a mud bath.

In Vietnam, you can ride on the back of a Vespa through the busy streets and markets of Hanoi, take a cooking class with a Vietnamese chef or kayak the crystal clear waters of Ha Long Bay. At the end of your cruise, enjoy a reflexology foot massage in Hong Kong after a traditional lunch in town. Rest up between days of sightseeing and activity with five days at sea.

Crystal truly excels at immersing passengers in cultural experiences with locals. Its carefully curated excursions take you to small villages where the locals are excited to shake your hand or invite you to help them prepare a regional dish using their traditional cooking methods.

Who should go: Luxury-focused travelers who appreciate fine dining, 24/7 butler service, attentive crew, spacious guest rooms and carefully curated excursions will find their home away from home aboard Crystal Symphony. With just 606 passengers on board, this ship is small enough to be intimate and easy to navigate, yet large enough to house all the desired amenities (including a pool, spa, walking track, fitness center, golf driving nets, putting green and tennis and pickleball courts).

MSC Cruises' 5-night round-trip cruise from Okinawa

cruise from europe to asia

MSC Cruises ' short five-night Asia cruise to Japan and Taiwan is a great way to add a cruise to your vacation in Japan. Depart from Okinawa for Ishigaki, known for Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park and the black pearl cultivation on Kabira Bay. The next stop, an overnight in Taipei, brings opportunities to see Taipei 101 Tower (once the world's tallest building, but now in fifth place) and ancient artifacts in the National Palace Museum.

Your final stop is Miyako Island, a picturesque spot covered by sugar cane fields. With no sea days, this itinerary is short and sweet. However, it doesn't skimp on ports of call.

Who should go: This five-night cruise in January 2025 on the 5,655-passenger MSC Bellissima is geared toward budget-conscious working adults looking for a shorter trip to Asia or folks who want to add a cruise to a longer land-based tour. For a VIP experience, upgrade to the MSC Yacht Club 's private sanctuary, which offers 24/7 butler service, exclusive venues (like a fine dining restaurant and a private sun deck), and even a personalized minibar and pillow menu.

Viking's 14-night Classic China and the Coast cruise

cruise from europe to asia

For many, walking along the Great Wall is a dream. For passengers aboard Viking Yi Dun on the Classic China and the Coast cruise, it's a reality. Viking sets itself apart with a China-focused cruisetour that combines a five-night precruise land stay in Beijing and Xian with a nine-night cruise through the East and South China Seas. You can choose from multiple fall 2024 departures.

In Beijing, you can visit the Forbidden City and Great Wall before flying to Xian to admire the famous Terra Cotta Warriors archeological site. You can also take in Shanghai's impressive skyline and Garden City before sailing along China's coast. Notable stops include Zhoushan, where you can observe Buddhist culture, and Xiamen for a traditional tea ceremony.

Who should go: Viking appeals to cruisers who prefer a more inclusive pricing model. The line's fares include one complimentary shore excursion in every port of call; free Wi-Fi; beer and wine served with lunch and dinner; port fees and taxes; and 24/7 specialty coffees, teas and bottled water. The all-veranda ship, 930-passenger Viking Yi Dun is small enough to dock in places the larger ships cannot, offering a more up-close and personal experience without the crowds.

Royal Caribbean's 7-night Kobe, Osaka and Tokyo cruise

cruise from europe to asia

Royal Caribbean's Kobe, Osaka and Tokyo itinerary offers the best of Japan in a short span of time. The weeklong sailing in November 2025 begins and ends in Shanghai (the port is Baoshan), with two sea days and stops in the Japanese cities of Kobe, Kyoto (Osaka) and Tokyo.

In Kobe, visit the waterfalls of Mount Rokko, take a dip in a hot spring bath (called an onsen) and dine on the region's famous wagyu beef. Kyoto is known for its multicourse cuisine, shopping, a famous Zen garden, hidden temples and its Geisha district. No visit to Japan would be complete without a port call in Tokyo, where soaring skyscrapers and traditional shrines coexist harmoniously.

Who should go: Travelers with children, multigenerational families and anyone looking for a great deal on an Asian cruise should consider Royal Caribbean 's offerings. The 4,246-passenger Spectrum of the Seas has high-quality and tech-infused entertainment, myriad bars and dining options (including Sichuan Red, a specialty dining experience filled with Asian-inspired flavors), skydiving and surf simulators, a casino, a teen disco, multiple pools and a splash pad. Expect an international crowd on board, with guests from around the world.

Looking for a cruise that covers a lot of ground during a special time of year? Seabourn's Taiwan, South Korea and Japan's Spring Flowers itinerary begins in Hong Kong. It maximizes your time at sea, with 11 port stops in four countries over 14 days — and it all happens during cherry blossom season in March 2025. Expect views of Mount Fuji, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, tours of castles and temples, and delicious street food throughout your journey.

Highlights in Taiwan include visiting a Ming Dynasty temple on Penghu Island and seeing Taipei 101, the world's second-tallest skyscraper. During the Japanese ports, you can plan a visit to the Shureimon gate — a UNESCO Heritage Site in Okinawa's capital — or take a guided hike through Gangala Valley to see the ancient banyan trees. Finally, in South Korea, stop by the Dongmun traditional market and the Tongdosa Temple, which functions as a museum full of centuries-old relics.

Who should go: Retirees who love spoiling themselves with luxurious amenities will enjoy this two-week getaway. The 458-passenger Seabourn Quest has 229 suites, each with a spacious bathroom featuring a separate tub and shower. Guests can stay busy during sea days with the card room, plunge pool, whirlpool spas and fitness center.

cruise from europe to asia

A line long devoted to offering Japan cruises, Princess Cruises truly delivers with this 13-day Circle Japan Fall Foliage itinerary in November 2025. Aside from one port stop in Busan, South Korea, the entire journey is focused on Japan. The sailing begins and ends in Tokyo, with 10 port stops in Hakodate, Niigata, Kanazawa, Sakaiminato, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Kochi, Kobe, Wakayama and Omaezaki.

Points of interest for excursion-planning purposes include Mount Fuji in Tokyo, the enchanting Kenroku-en Garden in Kanazawa, Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki, and the 1,200-year-old Koyasaan monastery complex — a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Wakayama.

Victoria Cruise Line's 3-night Three Gorges Highlights cruise

cruise from europe to asia

For those yearning to see the Yangtze — Asia's longest river and the third-longest in the world — Victoria Cruise Lines is a safe bet. It's the only American-managed cruise line on this river and has been in business for 30 years.

The Three Gorges Highlights sailing from Chongqing to Yichang departs daily from March through November each year and showcases daily life on the Yangtze as well as the area's extraordinary Three Gorges Dam project (China's new engineering marvel). You'll be awed by forest-covered mountains, sky-high cliffs and the world's largest ship lock with a ship lift. Shore excursions receive rave reviews from passengers, and the ships only hold about 200 passengers.

Who should go: Travelers looking for an exceptional add-on experience to their trip to China should consider this three-night sailing (a standard length for this experience, unlike the longer river cruises found in Europe). Victoria recommends booking through a travel agent who can reserve your cruise as part of a package tour offered by local tour operators. Expect lectures about the area's history and sights, cuisine focused on Chinese and Western flavors, onboard Tai Chi lessons and calligraphy demonstrations, and a cabin to fit every desired level of luxury.

Azamara's 20-night Treasure of Asia cruise

cruise from europe to asia

You can see a lot of Asia in 20 days, especially if you're doing the Treasure of Asia Voyage with Azamara in March 2025. Beginning in Singapore, the ship will wind its way through Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand — that's eight countries checked off your bucket list in one trip.

Tour Manila on a bamboo bike, explore the silk factories of Hoi An, zoom through the canals of the Mekong delta on a speedboat outside Ho Chi Minh City and visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok by tuk-tuk.

Who should go: Cruisers who prefer a smaller ship (684 passengers) that still offers plenty of variety — such as seven restaurants and lounges, a swimming pool and a spa — will find Azamara Onward to be just right for their vacation. Azamara includes a couple of helpful extras in its fare: prepaid gratuities and free self-service laundry in addition to select standard spirits, international beers, and a changing selection of red and white wines by the glass.

Uniworld's 15-day Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia and The Mekong cruise

cruise from europe to asia

Travelers with their hearts set on exploring the mighty Mekong River — the 12th longest in the world, which runs through Southwest China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Southern Vietnam — should put Uniworld Boutique River Cruises at the top of their list. The line offers Mekong River sailings throughout 2024 and 2025, which it packages together with pre- and postcruise land-based stays in Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap and Hanoi.

The Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia and The Mekong itinerary starts with a two-night stay in Ho Chi Minh City ahead of embarking on the 68-passenger Mekong Jewel.

From the breathtaking Tiu Kelep waterfalls and towering volcanoes to the many wild tropical bird specials and reef fish in West Bali National Park, you'll discover so much about this region and perhaps a bit about yourself, too. Next up are stops in Malaysia, including an overnight stay in Penang (known for its beaches, Buddhist temples and exquisite butterfly farm). The 12-night trip wraps up with an overnight in Phuket, Thailand, allowing enough time to explore the tropical forests, palm-lined coves and vibrant nightlife before ending in Singapore.

Who should go: Celebrity is an excellent choice for cruisers who want a slightly elevated experience without dipping too much further into their wallets. This December 2025 sailing on the 2,218-passenger Celebrity Millennium is likely to attract anyone who wants to spend their winter holidays in a tropical locale beyond the more typical Caribbean adventures.

Asia's summers tend to be hot and humid – great weather for lounging on a tropical beach, but if you're looking for cooler temps, visit at the end of spring or the start of autumn.

English is spoken and taught in many Asian countries as a second language, but it's always handy to know a few words in the local language to help you navigate the place and culture.

Stop for food at the spots you see crowded with locals: you might have to queue a little, but the busy spots are sure to serve up the best, most authentic dishes.

RELATED PORTS

Visit your favourite Asia cruise ports as you tour through China's biggest cities, from Hong Kong to Shanghai and Beijing.

Tokyo

Tribute to Tokyo

Only icons can truly encapsulate a metropolis as big and bold as Tokyo, especially ones that represent the capital’s extraordinary diversity. For a historical perspective, the 7th-century Sensoji Temple and the National Museum of Nature and Science speak volumes. The Imperial Palace bridges the past and present, as samurai warriors lived in the castle that once stood where Japan’s imperial family now resides. The ultimate view of the city and Mt. Fuji in the distance is from atop Tokyo Tower, a symbol of Japan’s rebirth as an economic powerhouse.

  • 3 nights in Tokyo
  • Visit Sensoji Temple and nearby Nakamise-dori, an alley lined with one-of-a-kind shops
  • View of Imperial Palace and its Eyeglass Bridge from the palace plaza
  • See Mt. Fuji and the city from atop Tokyo Tower
  • Visit the National Museum of Nature and Science

Explore Singapore

Prepare to be captivated by the wonders of Singapore, a city-state that rapidly transitioned from a British trading post into an ultra-modern destination. Its multicultural past comes to life in the traditional temples and synagogues on Waterloo Street and in Chinatown’s bewitching maze of narrow roads. Cruising the Singapore River presents yet another perspective of the metropolis while sustainably powered Gardens by the Bay celebrates the bullish future. What better wrap-up than toasting the experience with a Singapore Sling in the legendary Raffles Hotel.

  • 3 nights in Singapore
  • Exploring attractions such as Chinatown; Gardens by the Bay; Merlion Park; and the colonial district
  • A riverboat cruise on the Singapore River
  • Panoramic view from atop the Marina Bay Sands hotel
  • A Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel

Hong Kong

Terracotta Warriors, from Hong Kong

What an extraordinary contrast – one free evening in ultra-modern Hong Kong juxtaposed against historical Xian, a city often hailed as the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Terracotta Warriors Museum offers the ultimate deep dive into Xian’s past, as its thousands of life-size clay figures reveal life under the first Qin emperor. Exploring the Grand Mosque and the intriguingly named Blue Wild Goose Pagoda adds cultural context from other time periods. Even the Tang Dynasty dinner performance is rooted in history by featuring ancient music and poetry.

  • 1 night in Hong Kong
  • 2 nights in Xian
  • Economy-class flights between Hong Kong and Xian
  • Browsing the Terracotta Warriors Museum; Grand Mosque; and Blue Wild Goose Pagoda
  • Tang Dynasty dinner performance

Bangkok

Essence of Bangkok

Come away with a genuine feel for Thailand’s capital after becoming immersed in the captivating culture. Zip through the old city in a 3-wheeled tuk-tuk. Observe vibrant canal life by cruising the meandering Chao Phaya River and stroll the fragrant Pak Klong Talat flower market. No stone is left unturned as you explore Buddhist temples, Bangkok’s 200-year-old Chinatown and browse lavish longboats in the Royal Barge Museum. The Jim Thompson House reveals the life of the American that revitalized the Thai silk industry before mysteriously disappearing.

  • 3 nights in Bangkok
  • Sightseeing at two Buddhist temples; Chinatown; the Royal Barge Museum; and Jim Thompson House
  • Cruising the bustling Chao Phaya River
  • Riding through the old city in a motorized tuk-tuk
