EPICUREAN EXPEDITIONS IN ASIA

Atlas Adventurer’s inaugural voyages embark on the shores of Asia, exploring from Thailand’s gilded temples to Bali’s pristine beaches. In Japan, discover UNESCO World Heritage sites in the ancient castles surrounding Kobe and the otherworldly beauty of primordial forests on Yakushima Island. Navigate a traditional junk boat amid the towering limestone karsts rising from Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay or sail amid the equally stunning islets of the Philippines to find your own stretch of pristine sands. To experience Asia’s modern metropolises, take in views from Taipei 101 or the Supertree Grove in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay before descending to discover the wealth of culture, history, and cuisine in these vibrant city streets.

With rich and varied culinary scenes and a remarkable diversity of regional cuisines, Asia is the perfect destination for expanding our Epicurean Expeditions offering. The Expedition Teams will include Gastronomic Guest Chefs, Visiting Vintners and other culinary experts to guide your exploration and lend fascinating insights. Discover why Osaka is known as “Japan’s Kitchen,” and immerse yourself in Bangkok’s eclectic street food scene or learn the best place in Malacca to try Malaysia’s famous Peranakan noodle soup.

Itinerary

day 1-2 | Hong Kong, China

EMBARK 3 PM. Glittering metropolis of soaring skylines, lively markets and rich traditions.


day 3 | Hainan Strait Scenic Navigation

Separating China's Leizhou Peninsula from the tropical island province of Hainan, the Hainan Strait, also known as the Qionzhou Strait, serves as a vital and busy maritime corridor connecting the South China Sea with the Gulf of Tonkin. Though a highly anticipated cross-strait bridge and tunnel project remains in the planning stages to link Hainan's upcoming free trade port to the mainland, the waterway is currently navigated by specialized train ferries that seamlessly transport entire railcars across the sea.


day 4-5 | Ha Long Bay (Hanoi), Vietnam

UNESCO-listed seascape of dramatic limestone karsts rising from emerald waters.


day 6 | Da Nang (Hue), Vietnam

Golden beaches and vibrant city life near the cultural treasures of Hoi An and Hue.


day 7 | South China Sea Scenic Navigation

The South China Sea is a highly strategic and economically vital body of water bounded by China, Taiwan, and several Southeast Asian nations. It is renowned for its rich fishing grounds, vast potential oil and gas reserves, and its position as one of the world's busiest maritime shipping lanes.


day 8-9 | Phu My (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam

Gateway to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.


day 10 | Gulf of Thailand Scenic Navigation

The Gulf of Thailand is a shallow, tropical arm of the South China Sea bordered by Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is world-renowned for its stunning resort islands like Koh Samui, rich marine biodiversity, and its vital role in the region's fishing and tourism economies.


day 11 | Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam

Pristine beaches, local traditions and storied island heritage.


day 12 | Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Gateway to the untouched islands of Ream National Park, with opportunities to explore the legendary Angkor Wat temple complex inland.


day 13 | Koh Kood, Thailand

Crystal-clear waters, hidden beaches and verdant rainforests.


day 14 | Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Thailand

As Thailand's primary deep-sea port, Laem Chabang serves as the main cruise gateway to nearby Bangkok, where December brings pleasantly cooler, dry weather that is perfect for sightseeing. While Thailand is a Buddhist country, visitors around Christmas will find festive holiday lights, massive tree displays, and vibrant shopping celebrations throughout Bangkok's major malls and districts. Debark at 8 am.
