Wave goodbye to Laem Chabang, the port for Bangkok, for a closer look at Southeast Asia. Your first stop is Ko Kut, a Thai island admired for the untouched quality of its wilderness. Alongisde its sugar sands such as Ao Noi with its pretty wooden pier. Then hop over to the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, another eye-catcher. It’s largely National Park but has plenty of local life to experience in the main town Duong Dong. A day at sea transports you from the sandy idylls to the bright lights of Ho Chi Minh City, where you overnight. All the enticing pleasures of a fast-growing city can be found here – museums, galleries, a culinary feast of street stalls and fine-dining restaurants, and poignant stories of wartime.

Back to the ocean you go on Crystal Cruises, sailing for a day to Muara in Brunei. It’s home of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, a perfect picture for your album with its gold dome and minarets. Kota Kinabalu on Borneo adds plenty of market life as well as rainforest action to the mix, and, after a day at sea, you cross to the Philippines to the sandy beaches of Boracay before hitting the irrepressible capital of this island state, Manila. Savor your final day sailing the ocean before arriving in one of the world’s most exciting cities, Hong Kong.
