Boasting more than 30 centuries of history and culture, China and Vietnam will amaze you with their wealth of fascinating archaeological treasures ... but there’s so much more to be savored, from the exotic flavors of the local cuisine to the gracious hospitality of the people themselves. Your cruise will take you roundtrip from Hong Kong — which you’ll have time to explore in depth with Vantage’s exclusive hotel stays, one night before and two nights after your cruise! In between, you’ll see why Vietnam has been enticing visitors for centuries, as you explore the pristine white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Nha Trang ... stroll along famous China Beach or visit the caves and grottoes of the Marble Mountains near Da Nang ... and immerse yourself in the French Colonial flavor and bustling markets of Ho Chi Minh City. Then you sail north again to China, visiting the tropical seaside resort of Sanya Hainan, the vibrant port city of Xiamen, and Shanghai, China’s most populous city as well as its commercial and financial center.
