Explore the old and new, the grand and the intimate of this dynamic region on your Grand Asia Tour

From the formidable Great Wall, snaking across rugged mountains in the north of China to the fertile Mekong River delta in the south of Vietnam; from the silent Terra Cotta Warriors of Xi’an to the moving monuments of Cambodia’s war dead; from the vibrant paintings of the Summer Palace to the hushed serenity of Angkor Wat, your journey through Asia will get you up-close to some of the world’s most magnificent treasures. Along the way you will meet the citizens of three countries at work and at play. You’ll taste local cuisines and enjoy world-class cooking at your hotels, restaurants, and onboard.

Your journey starts with three days in Beijing, then you’ll fly to Xi’an, and see the Terra Cotta Army. Then to lovely Hangzhou for two nights and to Shanghai, for two days of guided tours and entertainment. Next, fly to Ho Chi Minh City, for two days of discovery.

Then board your ship, River Saigon, and begin your cruise along the Mekong River that flows past farmland and villages and the enduring tropical opulence of colonial homes. Visit the tragic “Killing Fields” and tour Phnom Penh. You’ll leave the river, and your ship, at Siem Reap for a two-day exploration of Angkor Wat. Your Grand Asia Tour ends with a two-night stay in Hanoi.

Who will enjoy this tour: Lovers of history, architecture, and culture will enjoy historical riches, UNESCO designated sites, incomparable beauty, and the intimate size and scale of the tours.
