Cruises along Asia’s remarkable coastlines

From Japan’s quieter ports to Taiwan’s island capital and Vietnam’s coastal heritage, you can choose how deeply you’d like to explore. Visit Thailand’s islands, Malaysia’s tropical shores, Singapore’s dynamic city hub and Indonesia’s stunning archipelagos, each revealing a different side of Asia’s character.

Japan

Glide past pine-clad islands and centuries-old fishing ports as Japan reveals its quieter side. From smaller ports like Kagoshima and Yakushima to Tokyo’s neon crossings, there’s so much for you to uncover. This is a destination that feels layered, modern and full of gentle contrast.

South Korea

Follow a coast shaped by mountains, contemporary cities and enduring local traditions. Sailing in and out of Busan, you can step ashore to explore waterfront districts, taste local flavours and take in a different side of Asia by sea. Between city energy and time on deck, your yacht cruise feels both relaxing and engaging.
Ornate temple rooftops in Jiufen, near Taipei, Taiwan, with colourful dragon sculptures and orange tiles in the foreground, overlooking lush green hills and the bright blue coastline and islands beyond.

Taiwan

Explore Taiwan from the water, pairing the harbours of Taipei and Keelung with the gentler pace of the Penghu Islands. One day you’re stepping into night markets and city streets, the next you’re walking sea walls and bayside paths. It adds up to an island that feels coastal and surprisingly varied.
