Cruises in Southeast Asia cover a vast sailing region between China and India. In addition to these two countries, the island parts of Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines and the continental parts of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia are also included in this area.
Every country within the region deserves a separate sightseeing tour, but if you want an overall impression of the color palette of Asia, a cruise is an excellent choice! The main reason we recommend a cruise in Southeast Asia is the vast distance between some of the countries. This region is so extensive that it's best to see it all on a cruise, rather than trying to cover it all on land. There's also a seasonal aspect to this region - the best time to visit is from autumn to spring, so cruises in summer are typically rare.
