We will also celebrate Golden Week in style on our new, beautiful all-suite vessel visiting treasured ports in Japan.”

The Spring Cruises include short to middle length itineraries from April to May. The Grand Asia Cruise features 24 ports in 10 countries and regions, with overnight stops in marquee destinations like Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh, Laem Chabang, Singapore, and Darwin.

These cruises replace a previously scheduled World Cruise which has been cancelled due to the uncertain situation in the region of the Suez Canal and in the interest of the safety of passengers and crew.
