Take You On a Cruise...Venturing On An Asia
Cruise Through Ancient China

If exploring a civilization that covers over 5,000 years from your liner sounds like the kind of holiday that you have all the time imagined, you may want to visualise taking an Asia Cruise down Chinas Yangtze River. A Yangtze cruise mixes the spell-binding river scenery with guided tours of amazing age old cities. Imagine taking off in Beijing, where you can see the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. Carry on through the cosmopolitan port of Shanghai, the second largest city in China and the home to traditional gardens and the talked-about Chinese acrobat shows. Your trip will take you through many other locals, perhaps including the ghost town of Fengdu, the cities of Wuhan and Yichang, and Xian, a break along the Silk Road. There you can see archaic terra cotta statues that once guarded the tomb of an emperor, the inspiring city walls, and relish the mouth-watering Imperial Dumpling Banquet.

The beauty on this Asia World Cruise through ancient China is picturesque, including vast mountains topped with pagodas, colossal cliffs, and the Yangtze River Dam, the biggest source of hydroelectric power in the world. Meanwhile you may not be a cruise critic, but you will be encompassed by other ships, giving you a superb feel for the importance of the river to traffic throughout the future. Moreover, a Yangtze River cruise is just one of many choices for exploring China on a passenger steamer.

Get The Most Out Of An Asia Cruise

The oriental country of Japan was shut off to Western guests for more than two hundred years. Today however, we are allowed to learn many secrets about this memorable country in a relaxed and opulent environment by travelling on an Asia cruise with an Orient Cruise Line. Nagasaki is a fashionable port of call for one of the cruising spots in Japan. Although it is perhaps most popular today for being the second city to have an atomic bomb dropped on it in World War II, it was a busy center of trade and manufacturing much earlier. In fact, even when the rest of Japan was closed to Westerners, commerce was permitted to continue from a small island near Nagasaki.

On your voyage, you might enjoy the Peace Museum that now stands in Nagasaki, as well as the Glover Mansion, which is often thought of to be the setting for the opera, Madame Butterfly. Or perhaps a day trip to Arita, the native place of ceramics, with its still-working kilns would be more to your liking. About thirty miles north of Nagasaki, you'll find the Sakai National Park, home of the wonderful arched Sakai bridge and nearly one hundred tiny small islands.

In summary, an Asia cruise to Japan or China is possibly one of the most stimulating ways to untie the untold secrets of the Orient. It will be a holiday that you will treasure and fondly reminisce for weeks, months, years to come!
