REVIEW
DAY 22: MANILA, PHILIPPINES (OVERNIGHT) Self-proclaimed as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, to the extent that one of its 170m skyscrapers was also given the name, Manila offers unparalleled excitement and discovery to travellers willing to scratch the surface and go a little deeper.
DAY 23: MANILA PHILIPPINES Spend time exploring artisan markets, relaxing in hip coffee joints and marvelling at the city’s surprisingly diverse collection of galleries and theatres.
DAY 25: HUE /DANANG (CHAN MAY), VIETNAM Arrive at the port of Chan May, a short distance from the cities of Hue and Danang. Where Hue still proudly demonstrates the beauties of imperialistic architecture, Danang offers a more modern twist on the Vietnamese city formula, with spectacular bridges and paradise resorts along its gorgeous beachline.
DAY 27: HONG KONG, CHINA (OVERNIGHT) Home to one of the world’s most iconic harbours and consisting of over 70% mountains and country parks, Hong Kong is a visual masterpiece. Immerse yourself in its culture and unique spirit as you travel from skyscrapers to holy Sikh temples, browsing endless markets along the way. Top Tip: If you have a sweet tooth, head for Dundas Street, the street of sweets.
MILLENIUM ASIAN ADVENTURE.
FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR SHIP
Embarkation was a dream, balcony cabin ready and luggage an hour later. Being good sailors we chose a high deck forward. The balcony had an overhang which required girder support but this was unobtrusive. We swiftly discovered the difference between our cabin and the next one up (Concierge). The latter has a sofa that two can sit on!
