To
most North Americans, the Far East and Orient define the essence of exotic
destinations. Far from home in nearly every sense, these lands have
dazzled and enthralled travelers with their fascinating traditions,
stunning beauty, rich history and rich cultural heritage.
The diverse countries and
cultures of this area of the world encompass a vast area and countless
ports of call from Japan to the Indian subcontinent. Those who journey
here can experience the wonders of some of the oldest known civilizations
- and delight in the region's unique architecture, cuisine and art.
Apart from world cruises,
whose itineraries generally sample key ports in the Orient and the Far
East as they circle the globe, most cruises in this part of the world
focus on specific areas, such as Japan and eastern China, the South China
Sea and Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean and India. Typically these
sailings visit several countries, each with its own distinctive culture,
along with stops at enchanting and beautiful islands. |
