Singapore

From futuristic skyscrapers to lush green, open spaces, Singapore offers a unique blend of soaring modernity and serene beauty. Given its role as an increasingly prominent center of business and commerce — in addition to a tourist destination — there are ample ways to both access and experience this compelling country.

It’s nearly impossible not to have an incredible time in Thailand. Its lush, unspoiled natural beauty, and warm, welcoming people — combined with incredible food, beautiful beaches, and a mind-boggling range of attractions to suit travelers of all types.

Ko Kood

Ko Kood is defined as an “unspoiled tropical island paradise” by Seabourn because it’s perfect for a diver or snorkeler, yet walkable if you’d rather stay on land or lay on the beach. The easternmost island of Thailand is quieter and dominated by family-run businesses, though it’s largely undeveloped. Here, you can see stunning waterfalls or fishing villages, where many people make a living, or go snorkeling or scuba diving.

Bangkok

Bangkok is the biggest city in Thailand (with 14 million residents) and is consistently one of the most popular tourist spots not just in Thailand, but in all of Southeast Asia. From glittering skyscraper hotels, to historic temples and shrines, to bustling street markets, the city has so many facets. Top attractions include the Khao San Road (a bustling, pulsating thoroughfare known for its bars, restaurants, massage parlors, and street vendors of all types), and Wat Pho temple (an iconic symbol of the city, with its giant reclining Buddha).

Ho Chi Minh City

Seabourn guests can view them in all their floodlit glory on an evening tour thanks to an overnight call in Ho Chi Minh City on select itineraries. Ho Chi Minh City, still commonly called Saigon, is perhaps the most populous and dynamic of the port options. The port on the Saigon River is only a few miles from the South China Sea. You can shop around at Ben Thanh or Binh Tay Markets for local crafts, explore historic landmarks, or roam around the French-style wide boulevards and appreciate the brightly colored temples and old architecture.

Cruise the Saigon River

Add a little romance to your Ho Chi Minh City rendezvous on a leisurely dinner cruise along the Saigon River. Nosh on sauteed king prawns and other favorite dishes while watching the city lights dance atop the tranquil water. The five-star luxury junks Saigon Princess and Le Perle de L’Orient are just two of the many floating restaurants to choose from; most feature live music onboard.

Halong Bay

On the Vietnamese leg of the trip, Halong Bay is scenically straight out of a postcard, and a well-regarded UNESCO World Heritage location. The region is not heavily commercialized, and visitors frequently take an additional cruise around the bay on their way to Hanoi. For breathtaking views by air, consider a 25-minute seaplane flight, or try the unconventional dining experience of eating a meal in a cave.
