Southeast Asia Destinations

Ho Chi Minh City

Diverse, colourful and bustling it may be, Ho Chi Minh City conceals a raft of heritage and tradition, making it one of the most unique, diverse destinations on the winding course of the great Mekong River. From its French colonial architecture to its generation-defining role in the infamous Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh may well be the most noteworthy city in this exotic corner of Asia. Add to that a street food culture unmatched in its eclecticism and unique local flavours. Our Emerald Harmony Star-Ship has been designed to sail right into the heart of the action, so you won't miss a thing.

Siem Reap

The gateway to the iconic Angkor temples, Siem Reap is a vibrant city in the ever-changing image of modern Cambodia, with a mix of delicious cuisine, unforgettable nightlife, and temples at every turn. Where floating villages exemplify the importance of the water and traditional handicrafts showcase skills that have been being perfected for centuries. During an included excursion witness the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Angkor Wat during sunrise and take your seat for the mesmerising spectacle of high-flying acrobatics and music at the Phare, Cambodian Circus as part of our EmeraldPLUS programme.

Halong Bay

A mystical setting, where limestone karsts rise from the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, Halong Bay is named a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, and the uniqueness of this beautiful bay has made it a must see sight when visiting northern Vietnam. Made up of over 1,500 tiny islets, it’s a serene network of emerald lakes, illuminating caves and immense natural beauty. As part of the included EmeraldPLUS programme sail its ethereal waters on board a traditional-style junk boat and take in the breathtaking scenery of this magical region.

Phnom Penh

Cambodia’s bustling capital can be found at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers, a picturesque city built around the Royal Palace, the residence of the King of Cambodia. It is here you will find the Silver Pagoda, known as the ‘Temple of the Emerald Buddha’, which lies adjacent to the Royal Palace, has a floor covered in silver. Now a peaceful place, Choeung Ek is best-known as the site of the Killing Fields and a must-see whilst in the city. During a visit to the Oudong Temples receive a traditional Buddhist blessing from the resident monks.
