Vietnam Discovery & Princess Cruises Southeast Asia Voyage from Perth to Singapore

With an array of entertainment, great dining options, and fantastic activity programmes, it’s no wonder Sapphire Princess^® is considered such a gem. The elegant lounges, beautifully designed public spaces, and spacious pool areas provide the perfect atmosphere.

The Island of the Gods reveals lush rice terraces, fragrant incense drifting from clifftop temples, and a vibrant culture woven into daily life. With two full days here in port, there’s ample time to explore.

A second day to delve a little deeper into the island, perhaps seeking out a serene hilltop shrine, a quiet stretch of black-sand beach, or simply the gentle, unhurried rhythm of Balinese village life.

Thailand’s largest island fringes the Andaman Sea with powder-soft sand and dramatic limestone islets. Explore its gilded temples and bustling old-town streets, or let the day melt slowly away on a palm-backed tropical beach.

In historic George Town, colonial shophouses, ornate clan temples, and celebrated street art crowd the lanes of this UNESCO-listed quarter. The island is a feast for the senses, with its hawker stalls among Asia’s very finest.

From the port, Malaysia’s dynamic capital rises in a glittering skyline crowned by the soaring Petronas Towers. Wander at your own leisure between gleaming modern malls, ornate mosques, and the lantern-strung lanes of bustling Chinatown.

Disembark in Singapore, then transfer onwards to your flight north to Hồ Chí Minh City, where two nights in a five-star hotel await at the start of your Vietnam discovery.

This afternoon, venture out to the Củ Chi Tunnels, the vast underground wartime network stretching for kilometres beneath the countryside. Return to the buzzing city formerly known as Saigon, lined with French colonial landmarks.

Transfer to the airport and fly north to Da Nang, then continue by road to the lantern-lit riverside town of Hội An, where a relaxed two-night stay awaits among its enchanting old streets.

A free day to lose yourself in Hội An’s enchanting old town, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. Browse the celebrated tailors’ shops, cross the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, and watch silk lanterns glow at dusk.

Travel north today over the spectacular Hải Vân Pass, a winding mountain road with sweeping coastal views, towards imperial Huế for a two-night stay. This former royal capital sits gracefully along the Perfume River.

A relaxed day at leisure to discover Huế’s regal imperial heritage, from the vast walled Citadel beside the river to the elaborate tombs of the Nguyễn emperors set among tranquil gardens and pine forests.

Transfer to the airport and fly onwards to Hanoi for a welcoming two-night stay in Vietnam’s graceful, tree-lined capital, where centuries of history meet a lively, ever-changing modern Southeast Asian city.

Explore Hanoi at your own gentle pace, from the bustling maze of the historic Old Quarter to the tranquil shores of Hoàn Kiếm Lake. Pause for coffee on a shaded boulevard and watch city life unfold.

Embark a traditional wooden junk boat and sail into the jewel-toned waters of Hạ Long Bay, where thousands of dramatic limestone karsts rise from the sea. Lunch and dinner are served on board.

Wake to misty bay views and a leisurely brunch on board as the karsts drift slowly past you one final time. Disembark and transfer back to Hanoi, where a final overnight stay awaits before home.

Your holiday complete, today you’ll head to the airport for your flight home.
