$6399—29-night Southeast Asia-to-Japan fly-cruise-stay
Tropical islands, vibrant cities and Japan's cultural treasures create one unforgettable voyage
Why We Love This Deal
This 29-night holiday feels like three trips in one. Think tropical Southeast Asia, island-hopping in the Philippines and a proper southern Japan finale. The appeal is not only how much ground it covers. It is how well the journey builds. With flights and a Singapore hotel included, you arrive before sailing to Tokyo. Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia bring warm nights, markets, temples and waterfront city life. Puerto Princesa, Boracay and Manila add beaches, island colour and after-dark energy. Hong Kong and Shanghai add the big-city chapter, with harbour lights and towering skylines. Holland America's Noordam suits this kind of voyage. It is comfortable, steady and destination-led. On a journey this long, overnight calls make a difference. Bangkok, Manila, Shanghai and Osaka give the trip time to glow after dark. That means night markets, local dining and a more relaxed pace. Japan is no token finish either. Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Kochi, Osaka, Shimizu’s chance of Mount Fuji views and Tokyo make the ending feel rich and earned. This is Asia with breadth, breathing room and a real sense of arrival.
