DAY 1 – MALTA– HONG KONG

DAY 4 / 10 – VIETNAM CRUISE ON ROYAL CARIBBEAN’S VOYAGER OF THE SEAS After breakfast some time at leisure and transfer to Hong Kong Cruise Terminal for embarkation of your cruise on board the Voyager of The Seas. Explore the world in style onboard Voyager of the Seas®, where delectable dining, exhilarating activities, fantastic entertainment and more are all waiting for you onboard. On the Voyager of the Seas®, you’ll raise the thrill factor on the Rock Climbing Wall and hang ten on FlowRider®. Lace up your skates for a spin around the rink, or kick back and catch dazzling ice skating spectaculars and 3D movies. Taste your way from Italy to Japan at restaurants like Giovanni’s Table and Izumi. HANOI The first thing you’ll notice about Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the traffic – horns blare as the locals zip past on a seemingly endless fleet of scooters, while tour buses barrel in carrying a steady flow of tourists, ready to lap up the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. There’s certainly plenty to enjoy, ranging from mouth watering street food to traditional entertainment, plus the fascinating history and culture of a city that has survived colonial occupation and war with its spirit intact. HUE / DANANG Pronounced ‘hway’, this deeply evocative capital of the Nguyen emperors still resonates with the glories of imperial Vietnam, even though many of its finest buildings were destroyed during the American War.Hue owes its charm partly to its location on the Perfume River – picturesque on a clear day, atmospheric even in less flattering weather. Today the city blends new and old as sleek modern hotels tower over crumbling 19th-century Citadel walls. A few touts are a minor hassle, but Hue remains a tranquil, conservative city with just the right concentration of nightlife. PORTS OF CALL VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY

Nowhere in Vietnam is changing as fast as Danang. For decades it had a reputation as a provincial backwater, but big changes are ongoing. Stroll along the Han riverfront and you’ll find gleaming new modernist hotels, and apartments and restaurants are emerging. Spectacular bridges now span the river, and in the north of the city, the landmark new D-City is rising from the flatlands. Venture south and the entire Danang Beach strip is booming with hotel and resort developments. NHA TRANG The high-rise, high-energy beach resort of Nha Trang enjoys a stunning setting: it’s ringed by a necklace of hills, with a turquoise bay dotted with tropical islands. A sweeping crescent beach of white sand defines the shoreline, backed by an impressive promenade dotted with parks and sculpture gardens. Inland there’s a cosmopolitan array of boutiques and dining options. Surrounded on all three sides by mountain ranges, Nha Trang also offers the picturesque vista of primary forest, water fall and high mountain peak floating in soft could. Located 60km far from the city center, with the height of 1578m, Hon Ba Peak is regarded as “the second Da Lat of Vietnam”. HO CHI MINH Ho Chi Minh is Viet Nam’s biggest and busiest city, where modernity blends with history to fascinating effect. It’s home to a treasure-trove of historical delights dating from Chinese rule, to French-colonial Indochina and through to the infamous Vietnam War. It is Vietnam at its most dizzying: a high-octane city of commerce and culture that has driven the country forward with its pulsating energy. A chaotic whirl, the city breathes life and vitality into all who settle here, and visitors cannot help but be hauled along for the ride. Wander through timeless alleys to incense-infused temples before negotiating chic designer malls beneath sleek 21st-century skyscrapers. The ghosts of the past live on in buildings that one generation ago witnessed a city in turmoil, but now the real beauty of the former Saigon’s urban collage is the seamless blending of these two worlds into one exciting mass.
