Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise through Southeast Asia on Norwegian Sun. In Hong Kong, explore modern marvels and ancient wonders as temples and street markets intersect with ultra-sleek high-rise buildings. Then see Muara's ornate mosques, tour unique stilt villages located along the banks of the Sungai Brunei (Brunei River) or browse a vibrant local market. Travel from Laem Chabang to Bangkok to tour the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha or visit the colourful Pattaya Floating Market.

Day 1: Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan

The capital of this fascinating island, once known as Formosa ("beautiful island" in Portuguese), has a rich aboriginal, colonial and political history. Snap a selfie at the ornate, dragon-adorned Mengjia Longshang Temple or photograph the changing of the guard at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, a must-see site. Experience 360-degree views of the city from the 91st floor observation deck of Taipei 101. Selfies and panaromic pics done, head off to shop for Taiwanese lacquerware, silk and fine art.

Day 2: At Sea

Day 3: Hong Kong, China

This former British colony brims with modern skyscrapers, ancient traditions and incredible food. A shopper's paradise, local shops and markets offer everything imaginable, from silk to jewelry and electronics. The highest point in the city, Victoria Peak, offers sweeping views of this vibrant city. Hollywood Road's temple and antique shops are worth exploring, or take a junk cruise and explore the magnificent bay. As Asia's culinary capital, your gastronomic desires are sure to be fulfilled.

Day 5: Coron, Philippines

Coron Town is located in the eastern portion of Busuanga Island and is an ideal base from which to discover the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Calamian Islands. The main attractions on Busuanga are hot springs and diving among WWII Japanese ship wrecks in the surrounding shallow water. If you're seeking true relaxation, picturesque beaches nestled between limestone cliffs on nearby islands will make you feel a world away. To experience a paradise unlike any other, journey to Coron Island where unique fresh and salt water mixed lakes are nestled among unspoiled mountains and jagged cliffs rise from the sea.

Day 6: Puerto Princesa, Philippines

Puerto Princesa is full of history, nature, good food, and relaxing beaches. For the history buffs, there are several World War II era historical sites and museums to wander through. If you're feeling adventurous, check out the Subterranean River-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-or learn about the wildlife a little closer to port. You can also learn about the city's dedication to environmental conservation. A budding restaurant and nightlife scene make spending the day in town a delight.

Day 7: Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

This bustling, ethnically diverse city offers sightseers a diversity of culture and eras. A gold-domed mosque, unique high-rise architecture and the Heritage Village all combine to paint a picture of the city's past. Venture into the interior to astonishing Kinabalu Park, where exotic plants and rare orchids flourish. Spend time on the glorious beaches and enjoy the local fresh fish.

Day 8: At Sea

Day 9: Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My), Vietnam

Discover the rich heritage of Saigon and the Mekong Delta. You won't forget a ride on a cycle rickshaw, known locally as xích lô ("sick-low"). Sit back as your driver whisks you past pagodas, colonial architecture and vibrant markets. A nice contrast to the city is the lush countryside of rice paddies and tiny villages along the Mekong. The freshness of the food is highlighted by the phenomenal fusion of local cuisine, a unique blend of Asian spices and French cooking styles.

Day 10: At Sea

Day 11: Bangkok (Laem Chabang), Thailand

Bangkok's glorious golden temples and palaces, the royal barges and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, carved from a single block of jade, are must-sees for any visitor. The riverside Temple of Dawn is also stunning and worth seeing. The Royal Palace, a massive complex of carved and gilded buildings, is familiar to many as the setting of the true story of Anna and the King of Siam - and is still used by the royal family today. Bangkok will heighten your senses and fuel memories for a lifetime.

Day 12: Ko Samui, Thailand

Feel like Thai royalty as you ride an elephant then see these clever animals show their work skills. Ko Samui is an idyllic, forested island with pristine sandy beaches, but venture inland and see majestic cascading waterfalls or a plantation where monkeys harvest coconuts. Back in town, shop for Thai silk, elegant resort clothes and handicrafts. Don't leave the island without sampling the spicy local fare, which will pleasantly jolt your taste buds.

Day 13: At Sea

Day 14: Singapore, Singapore

Explore a compact, fascinating city-state that's truly global. A onetime British trading post, its diverse past is reflected everywhere, from its old Chinese quarter and colourful Hindu temples to its modern skyscrapers and common language, English. Take a short cruise along the Singapore River or a pedicab ride through town, or enjoy the quiet at the National Orchid Garden. Interested in Asian medicine? A special medicinal restaurant can prescribe just the menu to help you feel your best.
