Guests are this week being invited to discover the enchanting Far East with a cruise on the majestic Costa Allegra.

Visitors will board the ship in Hong Kong and sail to the lively city of Manila, before coasting off to Kotakinabulu and Borneo to immerse themselves in rich Malaysian culture. This is followed before a departure to the more modern city – Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei.

Next, guests can shop ’til they drop in Singapore and witness the traditions and lifestyles of Ho Chi Min City and Da-Nang in Vietnam. This is followed by a cruise onwards to Sanya and back to Hong Kong; both modern cities intertwined with long-established culture and customs.

The journey departs Hong Kong, December 7th 2008, with prices staring from £759 per person (saving £380); based on two adults sharing an inside cabin, cruise-only for 14 nights, including all meals.
