Hong Kong, Japan & Shanghai: Cruise & Stay
This 8-night holiday offers an incredible opportunity to see the best of the Far East with our Hong Kong Japan Shanghai cruise and stay package. Your journey begins with a flight from Dublin to the vibrant city of Hong Kong, where you will spend two nights in a centrally located 4-star hotel. This city is a fascinating mix of traditional markets and modern skyscrapers. You might choose to take the tram up to Victoria Peak for a bird’s eye view of the harbour or wander through the busy streets of Kowloon. It is a fantastic place for travellers who enjoy exploring local cultures, with everything from ancient porcelain in the shops to traditional fortune tellers on the street corners.
After your stay in the city, you will board the Spectrum of the Seas for a 4-night cruise. Life on board is designed for relaxation and enjoyment, with full-board dining and a wide variety of entertainment included. One of the highlights of your sailing is a stop at Ishigaki, Japan. This subtropical island is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. It is a wonderful place to connect with nature, whether you are interested in the local palm forests or the colourful marine life. For those interested in history, the island is also home to traditional Shinto shrines and well-preserved samurai residences. This part of the trip provides a peaceful contrast to the bustling cities at either end of your journey.
The final leg of your Hong Kong Japan Shanghai trip takes you to the bustling city of Shanghai. Here, you will stay for two nights in another 4-star hotel, giving you plenty of time to explore this global financial hub. A walk along the Bund is essential to see the contrast between the colonial-era buildings on one side of the river and the futuristic Pudong skyline on the other. You can also find peace in the traditional Yu Garden, with its beautiful pavilions and ponds.
This is a well-organised, great-value getaway that handles all the logistics for you, from flights and transfers to your 23kg check-in bag.
