Embark on an unforgettable journey around either Japan or Vietnam aboard Spectrum of the Seas, Royal Caribbean’s luxury cruise ship. Choose from one of three cruises departing from Hong Kong, each offering premium onboard experiences and rich onshore exploration.
The Chan May Cruise is a five-night tour of Vietnam’s glorious northern coastline. Departing on 9 December, it’ll take you to the port of Chan May, which offers access to the idyllic coastal towns of Hue and Da Nang.
Meanwhile, the Best of Japan Holiday Cruise sails for nine nights from 21 to 30 December and takes in some of the country’s most enchanting southern coastal cities, including the vibrant Fukuoka, historical Nagasaki and picturesque Kagoshima.
Alternatively, the Kyoto, Fukuoka & Sasebo Cruise sails from 23 November to 4 December, an epic 11-night journey with stops in Fukuoka, Sakaiminato, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Sasebo. You’ll get to explore everything from Japan’s foodie culture to its proud heritage and emerald Kujukushima Islands.
Whichever itinerary you choose, you’ll enjoy some of the best hospitality and entertainment on the high seas.
The offer: book the Chan May Cruise, Best of Japan Holiday Cruise or Kyoto, Fukuoka & Sasebo Cruise with Cathay Holidays by 15 August and you’ll receive 1,000 for each night at sea – meaning you can earn up to 11,000.
When you’re not taking in the sights on land, you’ll find a world of entertainment on board Spectrum of the Seas, including outdoor movie screenings and interactive game shows. Kids can make a beeline for SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea, featuring bumper cars, roller skating and a circus school. Adventure seekers won’t want to miss the RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator, FlowRider surf simulator or the climbing wall that extends 12 metres above deck. For relaxation, head to Solarium, an adults-only pool area complete with whirlpools and water mist, or indulge in some pampering at the Vitality at Sea Spa.

Prepare to be wowed by Showgirl, an original production that pays tribute to the glitz and glamour of 1950s Las Vegas.
Spectrum of the Seas boasts more than 20 dining venues, spanning cafés, buffet restaurants, bars and lounges. You’ll find an array of international dishes at The Windjammer, including fresh pastries, buttermilk fried chicken and braised Vietnamese pork. Little ones will love the snacks at Splashaway Café, located next to the kids’ pool area, while adults can cool down with refreshing tropical drinks at the Pool Bar.
