When looking for a new and exciting type of holiday many people automatically look toward the East Asia cruise. Long regarded as the pinnacle of luxury travel, cruise ships offer a completely different experience to flying and make the travel a memorable part of the holiday. In addition to this, the Far East is one of the most wondrous places to travel, and is filled with mystery, adventure and exquisite exotic foods.
The cruise ships that travel to Asia and back are some of the finest luxury ocean liners available. Far from being mere transport, the cruise ship will offer a superb quality of accommodation to make absolutely sure you are comfortable during your voyage. The cruise ship will also offer fancy restaurants, bars and clubs, shopping, sports and all other modern conveniences. Often there may be a cinema, casino or even a country club on board. Some East Asia cruise ships also sometimes offer more unique experiences such as indoor rock climbing, ice or in-line skating, bowling and more.
With an all-inclusive East Asia cruise holiday it is possible to get all main meals included in the price along with drinks, as well as access to your favorite activities and maybe additional vouchers for discounts or free goodies on board.
Unlike many other types of holiday, the cruise doesn't limit you to a single destination. This can free you from the unfortunate circumstance of arriving somewhere only to find you don't like it and then being stuck there for several weeks waiting to go home. Of course this is a drastic example, but the point has to be made; no other holiday can offer quite the same level of variety that a cruise can. Visit five, ten or even fifteen locations over the course of weeks or even months. With a Far East cruise tour you can visit cities in China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam and other fantastic locations all along the East Asian coastline. A cruise tour enables you to see many amazing sights and sample many different cultures on one long trip to and around East Asia.
The many different cruise types can vary quite dramatically in terms of cost, but generally speaking the longer the cruise or the more destinations, the higher the price. For example, a 7 or 14 night East Asia cruise visiting a handful of places with a one night stay at a hotel either before or after the cruise will generally cost somewhere in the region $1,500 - $2,000 per person with direct flights from the States included. Extended Asia cruise holidays of around a month or more usually involve boarding the cruise ship in the US and sailing to a destination such as Hong Kong or Singapore via many other places en route, then usually flying back after a 2-4 night stay. This type of cruise is likely to cost more in the region $4,000 - $6,000.
