Crystal Symphony

Departs 13 Mar 2026

Overview

Explore the Philippines, China and South Korea, on an epic voyage departing Manila, a heady mix of past, present and future. First, we make a short hop north to Subic Bay, where there is sunken treasure to explore, before spending a relaxing day at sea sailing to the bright lights of Hong Kong. Two nights will leave you wanting more of this endlessly fascinating metropolis, but we are bound for Kaoshiung, the busiest harbor in Taiwan, Keelung, the gateway to the capital, Taipei, and the Japanese island of Ishigaki-jima, with its Buddhist temples. Our final ports of call are in South Korea – the island of Jeju and the city of Yeosu, which is renowned for its cuisine – before we disembark at Incheon near Seoul.
