The next chapter of the 2024 Journey opens on Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbor, where sparkling skylines, colorful traditions, legendary cuisine, and a treasure trove of natural parks kick off the Ship’s sojourn to the Far East. Continuing along the East Asian coastline, ten ports in China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan will delight aesthetes, historians, gastronomes, and naturalists alike. With expert-led tours, tastings, and cultural experiences, enchantment has no limit—be it in stylish Seoul, fast-paced Tokyo, or friendly Taipei. 

Turning south, the Ship pays a brief visit to Manila before venturing further into the Philippines and Indonesia. As “the Pearl of the Orient,” Manila offers a surprisingly edgy creative scene amidst the graffitied jeepneys and congested streets. After the buzz of the city, a few days spent hopping from one halcyon Indonesian port to another gives Residents the perfect recharge before venturing down under.
