Asia Cruise Overview

The lands of China, Japan and Korea all have an air of mystery to most Americans. This is because for many years travel was restricted (or even forbidden), so Asian culture is still filled with mystery – and in many instances hasn’t been overwritten by modern technology and trends. That’s not to say that Asia is stuck in a time warp, because with one trip to Tokyo you’ll feel like you’ve been catapulted into the future.

01 Great Wall of China

Take a stroll along the Great Wall of China. The wall was built in several pieces over time, but connected throughout the centuries. Though it’s not really visible from space, it’s still an incredibly large landmark at over 5,000 miles long.

02 Sumo wrestler tournamen

Attend a Sumo wrestler tournament in Japan. This traditional Japanese sport has many customs attached to it, and you’ll be surprised at how exhilarating the matches can be.

03 The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City is the palace complex that was home to China’s emperors from 1420 to 1912. There are a number of exciting artifacts here, so take a tour to get better insight into China’s past.

04 Drink and Some Karaoke

Celebrate with a drink and some karaoke. Japan is the birthplace of this beloved pastime that has been adopted the world over. In Japan, most karaoke is done in a small room with just your friends.

05 Head to Chengdu

Head to Chengdu where the giant panda’s live. You can learn all about these adorable creatures at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.

06 Korean Folk Village

Take a fun trip to the Korean Folk Village just outside of Seoul where you can see what life was like centuries ago in Korea and discover the crafts and skills for which Korea and its people are known.
