“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

We really have to thank Royal Caribbean for the idea of our 2022 optional program. Our 2021 Royal Caribbean Cruise and Tour not only sold out, we had over 50 passengers that wanted to be put on a waitlist. We looked at doing another Royal Caribbean Cruise in 2022, but they are currently not offering the same cruise itinerary. We decided to look at other options for 2022 that would give us a similar program. What we came up with, gave us a lot more of Japan and Vietnam, plus we were able to add Cambodia. Our 2022 cruise is going to be on a luxury ship with every cabin the size of a mini-suite that includes a private balcony.

Earlier this year Royal Caribbean started playing with the 2021 itinerary, taking out ports of call in Japan, shortening the cruise and putting in more days at sea; add the Coronavirus into the mix and all of sudden, 2021 had major problems. Our newly created 2022 cruise and tour that includes Vietnam and Japan, suddenly it became the best option to take care of those scheduled on our 2021 tour.

Here are some of the advantages of our new 2022 tour and cruise has to offer compared to our scheduled 2021 trip: • More of Japan: Your scheduled Royal Caribbean Cruise included only Kobe, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, and Tokyo. Our cruise and tour still includes Kobe, Kyoto, Mt Fuji and Tokyo – But with our special tour in Japan, we have added Osaka, Hiroshima, Himeji, Nara and Uji to our 2022 itinerary. The cities we visit in Japan can be found in nearly everyone’s top 10 cities or places to visit in Japan. The highlight of highlights in 2022 - We will be in Japan at the height of the Cherry Blossom Season!!!

• Vietnam and Cambodia: Our special tour includes - the BEST ancient ruins in the world - Angkor Wat in Cambodia, a “luxurious” cruise on the Mekong River through Cambodia and Vietnam visiting small ancient villages. Our tour and cruise also includes the major cities of Phnom Penn in Cambodia, Ho Chi Min (Saigon) in Vietnam, Hanoi in Vietnam – Plus, possibly the most beautiful place on earth, Halong Bay in Vietnam.

• Luxury AmaWaterways Cruise Ship: Every cabin is over 250 square feet with both a French Balcony and an Outside Porch Balcony. Our small intimate ship holds 120 passengers. We have reservations for 40 cabins, 80 passengers.

AmaWaterways in 2020 was awarded first places trophies for the Best River Cruise Line in the world, the Best River Cruise Line in Europe and the Best River Cruise Line in Asia – Beating out all other river cruise companies including Viking!

• The #1 Airline in the world: Singapore Air has won more awards than any other airline, as the #1 airline in the world.

Currently, they are listed as the #2 airline, just barely missing being #1 again. We are working with Singapore Air to fly our group from LAX into Angkor Wat, Cambodia and then back to the U.S. nonstop from Tokyo to LAX.

Day 1 March 17: Fly to Siem Reap, Cambodia (Angkor Wat) Our group plans to fly Singapore Air, currently the number #2 airline in the world. More legroom, better service, and better entertainment. In comparison, Delta is rated #41, United #68, and American #74 in the world.

Day 2 March 18: Flying – cross International Date Line and lose a day.

Day 3 March 19: Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) If Singapore Air keeps the same schedule in 2022, we will arrive mid-morning, giving us time for a visit to Tonle Sap Lake. By boat, we will explore the floating fishing villages that live at the edges of the lake, passing submerged forests and fishing farms. We will then transfer to our 5 Star luxury hotel.

Day 4 March 20: Angkor Wat – Siem Reap Our Visit to Angkor Wat will be a fantastic highlight day! The crowning jewel of Khmer architecture, ANGKOR WAT is the national symbol and a favorite of Cambodia. The largest, best-preserved, and most religiously significant of the Angkor temples, Angkor impresses visitors both by its sheer scale and beautifully proportioned layout, as well as the delicate artistry of its carvings. To approach the temple you must cross the vast moat, continuing along a broad causeway lined with naga balustrades. As you enter the main building you will ascend through a series of galleries and courtyards before reaching the central sanctuary, which offers beautiful views back over the causeway and across the surrounding countryside. On the way, we stop to enjoy the intricate stone carvings that adorn nearly every surface, with some 1,700 Apsaras, or celestial dancers, sculpted into the walls. Along the outer gallery, walls run the longest continuous bas-relief in the world, which narrates stories from Hindu mythology, including the famous Churning of the Ocean of Milk. Angkor Wat is stunning at any time of the day.

Visit Angkor Thom: The fortified city of ANGKOR THOM covers an area of 10 square km. Enclosed by a wall and wide moats, the city includes many of Angkor’s most popular sights. Enter by the monumental SOUTH GATE over a causeway lined on either side by statues of demons and gods, each carrying a giant naga. Continue to the TERRACE OF THE ELEPHANTS and the TERRACE OF THE LEPER KINGS, former spaces for public ceremonies, both adorned with dramatic bas-reliefs. We will visit the ruined BAPHUON, ROYAL ENCLOSURE and PHIMEANAKAS before continuing to TA PROHM, one of the most popular attractions of Angkor. Much of the jungle has not been cleared and it looks very much as most of the Angkor monuments would have appeared when European explorers first stumbled across them. Tomb Raiders and other movies were filmed here.

Overnight Siem Reap, tomorrow we board our luxury cruise to sail the Mekong River.

Day 5 March 21: Embarkation – Kampong Cham, Cambodia Transfer via motorcoach from Siem Reap to the AmaDara in Kampong Cham for your seven-night cruise. Your afternoon excursion takes you to the Twin Mountains, known as Phnom Pros and Phnom Srei (male and female mountains). In the Khmer legend, the twin mountains were formed as the result of a competition between the men and women of an ancient Cambodian kingdom to resolve which gender would be responsible for wedding proposals. As the story goes, the women lit a fire at night, which made the men believe the sun was rising. As a result, the men stopped working and the women won the competition. Thus, men still need to ask the women's parents for permission, and Phnom Srei is higher than Phnom Pros. Later, join fellow guests for an evening Welcome Dinner. (L,D)

Hundreds of wooden houses stand intact on stilts, shaded with banana trees, among the hustle and bustle of the daily agricultural on-going of the local villagers. After visiting here, the ship sails to Oknhatey or “Silk Island,” located on the lush banks of the Mekong River. This island is known for its rich tradition of silk weaving.

While here, be treated to a memorable Buddhist Blessing Ceremony at a monastery.

After visiting Oudong, be treated to a truly authentic excursion, an oxcart ride through a local village Kampong Tralach.

5 Night (6-day) Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand Pre-Tour Option

You are already in the neighborhood, why not leave a few days earlier and experience the best that Myanmar and Thailand have to offer. Both have more to offer than just getting another pin in the map. Some of the BEST ruins in the world are Angkor Wat (that you will experience while in Cambodia) AND the Bagan ruins in Myanmar. By adding our pre-tour option, you will experience them both. The ruins of Bagan are one of the world’s greatest archeological sites, some say they even rival Machu Picchu or Angkor Wat. Bagan is a spectacular plain stretching away from the Ayeyarwaddy River, dotted with thousands of 800-year old temple ruins. Although human habitation at Bagan dates back almost to the beginning of the Christian era, Bagan only entered its golden period with the conquest of Thaton in 1057 AD. The view of all the temples is simply staggering to the senses.

Bagan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be one of the most impressive places you will ever have the chance to visit on this earth and should not be missed.

You will love our two days in Bangkok, Thailand with its impressive Grand Palace that includes the amazing Golden Temples and Royal Residence. The beauty of the area is truly breathtaking. We will also visit the floating market on a James Bond type boat. Our luxury hotel is located next to the river for easy access to the boats that can take you up and down the river for shopping and exploring during the few hours that you may have free time. There are 4 different flights involved that represent the greatest portion of the pre-tour pricing. What you will see and experience is worth every penny you will spend when you add Myanmar and Thailand to your Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia Cruise and Tour.

5 Night (6-day) Pre-Tour Package Includes: • • • •

2 nights 5-Star Luxury Hotel in Yangon.
