The Allure of the Orient
July 11, 2010 by Steve Cousino
If you’ve always dreamed of exploring Asia, but were concerned about not speaking the language or worried about getting around and figuring out where to stay, consider a cruise instead.
Cruising offers the option of enjoying a single “floating hotel” as your home base while away and easily combines a variety of exotic ports including Southeast Asia & China (Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and China), Southeast Asia & India (Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India), or China and the Far East (Japan, Shanghai, China, and easternmost Russia).
Once you have decided on which line to cruise, then you can focus on your Asian experience…following the path of the Silk Road or the Spice Route, learning more about the ancient cultures, exotic beauty, and fascinating mysticism. And of course, indulging in the incredible shopping! And best of all, at the end of each day, you return to your cruise ship where you can relax, unwind, and rest before the next day’s exciting adventure!
A cruise to Asia combines everything you want in a trip to this region including seeing the famous Buddha’s, temples, and monuments, sampling the exotic food. And did we mention the shopping?
