Tokyo to Hong Kong

Asia is a continent of contrasts. In Japan, densely populated Tokyo is equal parts a vibrant, modern cityscape and a resting place for ancient temples like the Senso-ji Temple. Meanwhile, expect bustling street markets and excellent fine dining in Hong Kong, or travel to the New Territories to see preserved wetlands and family shrines.

The 14-day Tokyo to Hong Kong voyage aboard Insignia (departing 25 March, 2024) encourages guests to unearth every angle of Asia. Stimulating shore excursions are designed to help you make the most of sightseeing at every port, from Kyoto to Hiroshima, Busan, Shanghai and more.

Cruising the Norwegian Sea on board a sleek and spacious ship, discover the pristine and natural beauty of locales including Norway, Iceland and Greenland.

Stepping ashore, marvel at the idyllic fishing village of Husavik,Iceland’s whale-watching capital, and join a day adventure to Lake Myvatn and Jökulsárgljúfur National Park.

In Greenland’s largest city, Nuuk, depart the ship at a colonial harbour and visit the National Museum to discover the country’s fascinating history. For a spot of nature-watching, this destination is brimming with seals, reindeer, arctic foxes, arctic hares, and ravens.
