stacyb44 Posted May 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We are planning our first cruise to Asia and would like opinions as to which itinerary you would recommend and why? I realize they are both different areas (Southern vs. Northern), but we are trying to figure out which one to do first. Thanks! Itinerary #1: Hong Kong Vietnam Thailand Cambodia Singapore Itinerary #2: Hong Kong Shangai, China South Korea Hiroshima, Japan Osaka, Japan Dalian, China Tianjin, China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCCruzQueen Posted May 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would book Itin #1 also. Though you didn't list your ports, great countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted May 7, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Number 1 also as long as you had at least four full days in Vietnam. In addition, find out where your ship would dock in Saigon and Shanghai. Finally, whether you will be staying overnight in Bangkok. I think the first itinerary is great if you have overnights in each of the ports. If you are just going to have brief one day visits, I think it is a waste of time and would choose the second itinerary instead. Marc PS I have done both itineraries (no stop in Cambodia) on Seven Seas Mariner and enjoyed them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
