We loved it! It was the longest cruise we've taken, and were afraid it might be too long. Bit it wasn't. It was just right!

Interesting how the passenger profile changed from the Sydney - Singapore segment to the Singapore-Hong Kong leg.

From Singapore to Hong Kong, many Chinese passengers and children replaced the older and Aussy passengers.

So many great things about this cruise and ship! A comfortable cabin, friendly and efficient crew, good shows, wonderful lounge music and good food made the onboard experience a very good one. Shore excursions were interesting but at times exhausting--especially those to Hanoi, Ho Chi Mien City, and on Java and Balli. But the facinating sites made the long bus rides worthwhile. Read more
