Southeast Asia, Japan and East Asia are home to some of the most varied and culturally rich ports in the world. An Asia cruise tour package ties the journey together: rather than organising a long-haul flight, a pre-cruise hotel in an unfamiliar city, and a separate transfer to the ship, you hand the logistics to specialists and arrive ready to enjoy the voyage. Cruise1st packages typically combine the cruise with return flights from the UK, hotel accommodation at the embarkation port, and transfers — all on one booking, with one team to call if anything changes.
Asia cruise itineraries range from around 12 nights to over 100 nights, with the majority falling around 18 nights — long enough to reach multiple countries and genuinely explore, rather than skim the surface. Both round-trip sailings and one-way voyages are offered, and it is worth understanding the difference before you book: a round trip returns you to the same port you departed from, while a one-way sailing ends at a different destination entirely. If your cruise is one-way, you will need a flight home from the disembarkation port, and our team can arrange that too.
Prices start from £1,849 pp*, and a good share of sailings have been reduced from their previously listed cabin price — with reductions of up to 37% on individual departures, though most discounted sailings are reduced by around 7%. If you are flexible on timing or itinerary, it is worth asking our team what is available across the full range.
The destinations covered by these packages stretch from the tropical archipelagos of Southeast Asia to the iconic ports of Japan, and across to East Asia. Here is how the cruising is spread across the main regions.
Southeast Asia is the most popular region in this collection, and it is not hard to see why. Itineraries in this part of the world typically combine several countries and port styles — busy commercial harbours, resort islands and riverside cities — in a single voyage. Singapore is the most common embarkation and disembarkation point, and it is an excellent base for a night or two before or after your cruise: a modern, walkable city with world-class dining, excellent transport links, and a straightforward airport. Many itineraries also call at Benoa in Bali, Indonesia, one of the most recognisable islands in this part of the world. Sailings in this region suit travellers who want cultural variety — different cuisines, languages, temples and landscapes — within a single itinerary.
Japan is the second most popular region, and Japan-focused itineraries are among the most sought-after cruises in the Asia collection. The depth of what Japan offers port by port — from ancient shrines to contemporary city life — makes it particularly well suited to cruising, where a different side of the country reveals itself at each stop. Sailings typically call at Yokohama, the gateway port for Tokyo, as well as Tokyo itself — note that both appear as embarkation and disembarkation ports in this collection, so check which one your specific sailing uses. Kobe also features as a port of call on Japan itineraries. These voyages suit travellers with a particular interest in Japan who want to cover more ground than a land-based trip would allow.
East Asia itineraries connect multiple countries across the broader region, often combining ports in Japan with calls in China and neighbouring destinations. Shanghai is a key port for East Asia sailings, and Hong Kong features both as an embarkation point and a port of call. These longer itineraries suit travellers who want to cover several distinct cultures and city experiences on one voyage, with the ship doing the overnight travel between destinations.
A smaller but well-represented group of itineraries connects Asia with Australia, either as repositioning crossings or as part of extended voyages. Sydney features as an embarkation port for this group. If you are combining a time in Australia with an Asia cruise — or the reverse — our team can arrange both legs of the trip, including accommodation and transfers at either end. For travellers looking to cover an even wider sweep, there are also occasional world cruise itineraries that touch Asia among their ports; these are naturally longer sailings, and the itinerary calls at ports across multiple continents.
Because all of these itineraries depart from Asia, a flight from the UK is part of every trip. The main embarkation ports are:
Our team can book your flights to whichever embarkation port your sailing uses, along with hotel accommodation before departure and a transfer to the ship — so you arrive without the stress of navigating an unfamiliar city on the morning of embarkation.
The Asia collection brings together some of the most respected names in ocean cruising. Here is what each of the major lines brings to an Asia voyage.
Princess Cruises has one of the strongest programmes of Asia itineraries in this collection, with a long history of sailing the region. The line offers a choice of fare tiers that changes what is included in your price:
If you are comparing Princess fares, our team can talk through which tier suits how you tend to spend on board — some travellers find the included beverage allowance more than covers their needs, while others prefer to keep the base fare lower and select extras as they go. See Princess Cruises to Asia for the full Princess programme.
Celebrity Cruises brings a premium-contemporary style to Asia itineraries, with 3 fare tiers on offer:
See the Celebrity Cruises Asia programme alongside their broader schedule, or ask our team to walk you through the fare differences in plain terms.
Royal Caribbean’s Asia programme centres on ships built specifically with this region in mind. Fare types on these sailings include last-minute offers and early-booking bonuses, as well as fares for solo travellers — our team can advise which type applies to your preferred sailing. Royal Caribbean also occasionally runs promotional fare types such as reduced fares for additional guests in a cabin; availability and terms vary by sailing, so check with us for the current picture.
Regent Seven Seas offers an all-inclusive luxury experience across its Asia itineraries, with fares that include shore excursions, drinks, gratuities, and more in a single price. If you want the full cost of your cruise settled before you travel — with very little to pay on board — Regent is worth a close look. Our team can compare Regent against other all-inclusive options and advise on which itineraries are available through this collection. For those drawn to a more intimate, destination-focused style of cruising, Azamara is also a strong contender — the line’s smaller ships spend longer in port, often overnighting, so you can experience destinations after dark rather than only in the hours a port call allows.
Oceania Cruises focuses on culinary excellence and destination immersion across its Asia voyages. The line’s ships are mid-sized, giving them access to ports that larger vessels cannot reach, and the onboard dining is widely regarded as some of the best at sea in this style of cruise. Oceania appeals particularly to travellers who want unhurried itineraries and a relaxed, food-forward atmosphere on board.
Holland America Line, Cunard, and Azamara all feature sailings across Asia in this collection, each bringing a distinct character to the region. Holland America’s longer heritage voyages suit travellers who want a classic ocean-liner atmosphere with an extensive destination programme. Cunard brings its signature formal style to the region, while Azamara’s boutique approach — with overnights in port included as standard — is well matched to a part of the world where the evenings in port are often as rewarding as the daytime.
Several ships stand out across these Asia sailings, each with features worth knowing before you choose.
Celebrity Solstice was comprehensively renewed in 2026, with new additions including the Trattoria Rossa Italian restaurant, Fine Cut Steakhouse, and the Sunset Park terrace — along with refreshed Retreat suite accommodation. The ship’s most singular feature is its Lawn Club: a genuine half-acre of real grass on the top deck, which hosts live Hot Glass Show demonstrations where guests can watch glassblowing, and open-air cinema screenings in the evening. Suite guests staying in The Retreat have access to a private pool sundeck, the Luminae restaurant with menus developed by Daniel Boulud, and butler service. Cabin grades on Celebrity Solstice range from:
See Celebrity Solstice cabins and deck plans for the full layout.
Celebrity Millennium carries a remarkable piece of maritime history on board: the Olympic Restaurant uses genuine walnut panelling salvaged from RMS Olympic, the sister ship to Titanic, so every dinner is set against a genuine piece of the past. Le Petit Chef is a 3D animated dinner experience that uses tabletop projections to tell a story between courses of a multi-course tasting menu — a thoroughly unusual night out at sea. Guests booking AquaClass staterooms gain exclusive access to the Blu restaurant and the Persian Garden thermal spa, which makes the AquaClass grade worth serious consideration for those who want wellness at the centre of their voyage. Cabin grades include:
Browse Celebrity Millennium cabins and deck plans before deciding which grade suits you.
Spectrum of the Seas was purpose-built for the East Asia market, and the onboard experience reflects that directly. Dining includes Dadong Wonderland Chinese cuisine, Jamie’s Italian, and an Asian-fusion main dining room — 16 restaurants in total. The ship’s North Star observation capsule is one of Royal Caribbean’s signature experiences: an all-glass pod that rises 300 feet above sea level, giving a 360-degree view of the sea and any coastline within range. A RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator, a FlowRider surf simulator, and bumper cars complete a distinctly activity-rich environment spread across 16 decks. Cabin grades on Spectrum of the Seas include:
Review the Spectrum of the Seas cabins and deck plans to compare layouts and positions across the ship’s 16 decks.
Norwegian Jade’s defining feature is its Freestyle Dining approach: there are no fixed dining times and no assigned tables across 19 restaurants, including Cagney’s Steakhouse, Le Bistro, and Moderno Churrascaria. You eat when you want, with whom you want, in whichever restaurant takes your mood. For evenings, the Bliss Ultra Lounge provides an adults-only nightclub with pulsing lighting and a full bar programme, while the Vibe Beach Club gives adults their own separate pool deck retreat away from the main pool areas. At 93,558 tonnes, Norwegian Jade is large enough to offer genuine variety on board while remaining personal enough that it never feels anonymous. See Norwegian Jade cabins and deck plans for cabin options.
Azamara Pursuit takes a fundamentally different approach to ports than the larger ships in this collection. The ship regularly overnights in port and stays late, giving you genuine time to explore after the day-trippers have gone home — a real advantage in Asia, where evening markets, night food scenes, and illuminated temples are part of what makes the region worth visiting. Included in every fare are AzAmazing Evenings, which are exclusive private cultural events ashore that you will not find on any other line’s itinerary. The ship carries just 777 guests, and specialty restaurants Prime C and Aqualina are included in the fare rather than charged as extras. See Azamara Pursuit cabins and deck plans for the full range of accommodation.
Diamond Princess is Princess Cruises’ dedicated Japan and Asia ship, and several of its features reflect that focus directly. The Izumi Japanese Bath is described as the largest Japanese-style onsen bath at sea — a genuine wellness experience that you would not find on a ship designed for other regions. Dining options include Crown Grill steakhouse, Kai Sushi, and Makoto Ocean by Chef Makoto Okuwa, who brings a specifically Japan-focused culinary perspective to the ship’s dining programme. MedallionClass technology means you can order food, drinks and services to wherever you are on board through the OceanNow app, and Movies Under the Stars brings outdoor cinema to the open deck on sailing evenings. See Diamond Princess cabins and deck plans for accommodation options.
Several other well-regarded ships sail Asia itineraries in this collection. Sapphire Princess brings Princess Cruises’ full MedallionClass experience to Asia voyages, and her cabins and deck plans are worth reviewing if you are comparing Princess ships. Quantum of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s Quantum-class ship built for Asia, with a similar activity-rich profile to Spectrum of the Seas; check Quantum of the Seas cabins and deck plans before comparing the two. Navigator of the Seas rounds out Royal Caribbean’s Asia offer, and Navigator of the Seas deck plans show where cabins sit relative to the ship’s main facilities. Westerdam represents Holland America Line in this collection — a mid-sized ship with a classic feel — and Westerdam’s cabins and deck plans are available if you want to compare grades.
Yes — a good portion of the sailings in this collection are all-inclusive, meaning drinks, gratuities and often shore excursions are included in the fare rather than charged separately on board. All-inclusive fares make it straightforward to know your costs before you travel, with little to settle at the end of the cruise. If all-inclusive is your priority, see the dedicated pages for Asia all-inclusive cruises and all-inclusive Asia cruises in 2027, which filter the full collection to all-inclusive fares only. For the year before that, all-inclusive Asia cruises in 2026 shows what is available in that year’s programme.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers one of the most comprehensive all-inclusive packages across its Asia sailings — typically including shore excursions at every port, a full drinks package, gratuities, and business-class flights on longer voyages. Azamara Pursuit’s fares include the AzAmazing Evenings cultural events ashore and specialty dining, which represents strong all-inclusive value on a boutique ship. Our team can compare the all-inclusive tiers across lines and help you identify which fares genuinely suit how you spend on a cruise.
A share of the sailings in this collection carry a reduced price compared to their previously listed cabin grade fare. Reductions reach up to 37% on individual departures, though that represents a single sailing; most discounted sailings are reduced by around 7% from the previously listed price for that cabin grade. It is worth checking the current fare on any sailing you are interested in, as prices on Asia voyages can move as departure dates approach.
Cruise lines in this collection run a variety of promotional fare types from time to time. Royal Caribbean offers fare types such as last-minute discounts, early-booking bonuses, and promotional fares for additional guests sharing a cabin — terms and availability vary by sailing and period, so ask our team what is currently in place for any specific departure you have in mind. Princess Cruises periodically runs tactical fare promotions alongside its standard Plus and Premier tiers. Celebrity Cruises offers its All Inclusive fare as a bundled option that removes the need to budget separately for drinks and connectivity.
If you are watching for a deal on a particular itinerary or departure month, our team can advise on the right moment to book and alert you to reduced fares as they become available.
Shore experiences in Asia are among the most rewarding of any cruise region, and the range on offer matches the extraordinary diversity of the destinations. The nature of what is available depends significantly on which ports your itinerary calls at, but across the main regions in this collection, here is what to expect.
Itineraries calling at Singapore give you one of the world’s great city-states as a starting point — and if you build in a night before or after your cruise, the city rewards a proper explore on foot. Across Southeast Asia more broadly, shore experiences range from cooking classes and street food tours in vibrant markets to temple visits, river excursions, and craft workshops. Bali, with its port at Benoa, is known for its rice terraces, craft villages, and spiritual sites inland from the coast — a full-day excursion easily fills the time in port. Bangkok (Klong Toey) is a port of call on some Southeast Asia itineraries; the city’s combination of ornate temples, floating markets, and contemporary food culture makes it one of the most packed-with-things-to-do ports in the region. For cruises calling at Seoul, South Korea, day excursions reach the city’s palaces, traditional districts, and contemporary neighbourhoods — a striking contrast between history and modernity in a single port day.
Japan is the most consistently praised cruising destination in Asia for shore experiences, and the ports on Japan itineraries rarely disappoint. Yokohama itself has a well-developed waterfront with easy rail connections to central Tokyo, making a day in the capital straightforward. Kobe gives access to the city’s famous food scene — particularly its beef — as well as the Arima Onsen hot springs region inland. Shore excursions in Japan range from tea ceremony experiences and temple garden visits to bullet-train trips to cities further afield, depending on your time in port. Azamara Pursuit’s policy of overnighting in port is particularly valuable in Japan, where staying into the evening allows you to experience a side of these cities that day visits simply do not reach.
Sailings calling at Shanghai give access to one of the world’s most dramatic cityscapes, as well as classical gardens and the surrounding water towns that offer a quieter contrast to the city. Hong Kong is a dense and rewarding port call — excursions can head to the islands, up to the Peak, or into the city’s neighbourhood markets and historic areas. The Spectrum of the Seas, built specifically with the East Asia market in mind, is well set up to complement these destinations with onboard dining that reflects the region’s culinary culture.
Our team can advise on which cruise line organises shore excursions directly and which destinations are best explored independently, so you make the most of every port day.
Asia cruise tour packages in this collection range from shorter sailings of around 12 nights to extended voyages of over 100 nights, with the middle of the range sitting at around 18 nights. That 18-night length is a useful benchmark: it is enough to cover a Southeast Asia circuit or a thorough Japan itinerary at a comfortable pace, without requiring the kind of extended leave that only a world cruise demands.
Shorter sailings at the bottom of the range are good for first-time Asia cruisers who want to test the region without committing to weeks away. Longer voyages — particularly those that combine Asia with Australia, or cross the Pacific — suit experienced cruisers looking for a genuinely immersive journey. The transpacific sailings are typically one-way crossings that reposition ships between Asia and the Americas; they are long ocean passages with fewer port calls, but appeal strongly to those who enjoy sea days and the sense of a genuine ocean voyage.
If you are not sure which length suits you, our cruise experts can compare itineraries across lines and help you match the pace of the voyage to how you like to travel.
These Asia packages include a mix of one-way voyages and round trips, and the difference matters when you are planning the trip. A round-trip sailing begins and ends at the same port, which simplifies your flights: you fly out to the embarkation port, cruise, and fly home from the same city. A one-way sailing ends at a different port from where it began, which means you need to arrange a flight home from the disembarkation port at the end of the cruise.
One-way sailings are very common in Asia — particularly on repositioning itineraries and longer voyages that connect Southeast Asia with Japan, or Asia with Australia — and they are not a disadvantage. In many cases they let you see more of the region by starting in one part of Asia and ending in another, rather than retracing your route. But they do require a return flight that needs to be factored into your budget and planning.
When you book through Cruise1st, our team can arrange the return flight as part of your package, along with any hotel accommodation at the disembarkation port if you want a night or two to explore before flying home. The whole trip — outbound flight, pre-cruise hotel, the cruise itself, and the flight home — can sit on a single booking. Always check whether your specific sailing is one-way or round-trip before committing, and ask us to map out the full journey with you.
Because every Asia sailing in this collection begins abroad, a flight from the UK is always part of the trip. A Cruise1st Package puts the flights together with the cruise, the pre-cruise hotel, and your transfers to and from the ship, so the entire journey is arranged by one team and sits on one booking.
Return flights from major UK airports can be included, and our team can advise on which routing makes most sense for your specific embarkation port — Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, or elsewhere. Pre-cruise hotel accommodation at the embarkation city is worth including for an Asia trip: arriving into a long-haul destination and boarding a ship on the same day is possible, but a night in the city first means you arrive on board rested and ready rather than jet-lagged. We can arrange tours in the embarkation city if you want to make the most of that time ashore, and a transfer to the ship the following morning.
For travellers flying home from a different city at the end of a one-way sailing, we can arrange the return flight from the disembarkation port as part of the same package. Asia cruises from the UK covers the full range of options for UK departures, and Asia cruises from Southampton is worth a look if you are interested in sailings that begin closer to home before repositioning east.
The Asia cruise programme runs through 2026 and into 2027, with sailings across both years in this collection. If you are planning ahead, it is worth knowing that the best cabin grades and fare promotions on popular Japan and Southeast Asia itineraries tend to go early — particularly for peak season sailings.
If you are considering Princess Cruises specifically, Princess Cruises 2027 from Southampton shows the broader Princess programme for 2027 alongside the Asia sailings. For Celebrity Cruises, Celebrity 2026 sailings covers that line’s schedule for the year.
An Asia cruise tour package from Cruise1st is built around the idea that the cruise is the centrepiece of a longer trip, not a standalone booking. Our team can add every element around the cruise to turn it into a single, fully managed holiday:
As one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, Cruise1st’s team knows these itineraries and embarkation cities well. When you call, you are speaking with people who understand how the trip fits together — not a general travel agent quoting a package from a brochure. That knowledge is the difference between a well-planned Asia holiday and one where the connections between flights, hotels and ship are left to chance.
Cruise1st is ABTA and ATOL protected, which means your money is safeguarded and you have a clear route to help if anything changes. When you book a Cruise1st Package that includes flights, ATOL protection covers the flight element of your holiday. ABTA covers the wider package, including the cruise and any accommodation arranged through us. You are not booking a cruise on one site and a flight on another — the whole holiday is on one booking, with one set of protections.
Cruise1st holds a Trustpilot rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 7,000 reviews. Our customers most often call out the quality of advice before booking — knowing which ship suits which itinerary, and which cabin grade represents genuine value — and the helpfulness of our team when plans need to change. For a trip as significant as an Asia cruise package, that kind of accessible, knowledgeable support before you travel is worth having.
If an Asia cruise package has you thinking about covering even more ground, world cruise itineraries are available alongside the Asia-focused sailings in this collection. A world cruise calls at ports across multiple continents and typically runs for several months — it is the longest and most ambitious form of ocean cruising, and Asia ports frequently feature prominently in the itinerary. For travellers who want to begin that kind of extended voyage closer to home, world cruises from Southampton lists sailings that depart from the UK before heading east. These longer voyages are one-way sailings by nature, and our team can arrange the full journey — including the flight home from wherever the cruise ends — as a single package.
Asia cruise tour packages cover some of the most rewarding destinations in long-haul cruising — from the tropical ports of Southeast Asia and the cultural depth of Japan to the dynamic harbour cities of East Asia. Sailings run from around 12 nights upwards, with a choice of round-trip and one-way itineraries, and a range of cruise lines from premium to ultra-luxury. Prices start from £1,849 pp*, and with a Cruise1st Package, your flights, hotel, transfers and tours can all sit on one booking.
Our expert team is on hand to talk through the options, compare fare tiers, and build a package that works for how you want to travel. Whether you are choosing between a Southeast Asia circuit and a Japan itinerary, deciding between all-inclusive and flexible fares, or working out which ship best suits your group, we will give you the advice that makes the difference — and put the whole holiday together for you.
