Asian Explorations


February 19-March 10, 2013

Find yourself in the legendary lands of East Asia, a world filled with rich traditions and mystifying architecture, while cruising in luxury aboard Oceania Cruises’ Nautica. After a day in exciting Hong Kong, a city of modern high-rise buildings dotted with timeless Chinese temples, depart for Taipei, Taiwan, a savvy metropolis whose colorful markets brim with flowers and jade. Continue north to the Japanese island of Okinawa, where the imposing 14th-century Shuri Castle awaits, then experience Kyoto, an ancient imperial capital sprinkled with temples and shrines, and Hiroshima, home to the moving Memorial Peace Park and Museum. Next is Shanghai, where bustling markets and distinct architecture line the Yangtze River, before a stop in Seoul, South Korea’s vivacious capital city that blends history and modernity. Your Eastern odyssey concludes with a day in Beijing, China’s fascinating capital, a city with such remarkable sites as Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the legendary Great Wall. From ancient temples to soaring skyscrapers, vibrant markets to world-renowned museums, natural wonders to cutting-edge technology, this will be the voyage of a lifetime.
