combine back-to-back itineraries into longer cruises — also feature
extended and overnight stays at some of Asia’s most iconic cities
and provide travelers with ample time to explore the region’s
diverse historical and notable landmarks. Two extensive 51- and
53-day Collectors’ Voyages in January and March, respectively,
provide comprehensive explorations of the region with visits to
Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia while sailing from and to
