Things to Do on an Asia Cruise with Holland America Line

The wonders of Asia come to life on a Holland America cruise to the Far East where you can see ancient temples in Bali, attend an acrobatic show in Shanghai and spend some time with wise elephants in Thailand.

• Hirosaki: The Castle Town (Aomori, Japan) Learn about the peaceful beauty of Japan on this excursion to the Hirosaki Park, where you’ll see a castle and some of the most splendid cherry blossom spots in the world. After spending a beautiful morning here you’ll travel to the nearby Tsugaruhan Neputa-mura village, which offers you the chance to take in a variety of art forms, including ceramics and woodblock painting. Lastly, visit the Zenringai, an area marked by 33 Zen temples, among which is the Saishoin Temple which dates back 300 years.  

• Royal Temple, Monkey Forest and Tanah Lot Pagoda (Bali, Indonesia) After a visit to the Royal Temple and its beautiful shrine, you’ll enter the monkey forest, which is actually a sacred space for the local Balinese people. The tall trees are littered with macaque monkeys who are always good for a great laugh. After this exciting adventure, head to the Tanah Lot Temple which is perched on a rock overlooking the coastline.  

• Chinese Acrobat Show (Shanghai, China) The Chinese take their gymnastics seriously; they are almost always on the medal stand during the Olympics. Partake in their athletes’ amazing feats of gravity-defying tumbling and tossing at a 90-minute show. This show also features artistic gymnastics that are unlike anything you’ve ever seen.  

• Highlights of Hanoi (Halong Bay, Vietnam) A mix of Asian and French influences combine in Hanoi to create a stunning city with wide tree-lined streets and a district of narrow alleyways squashed together. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, also houses the country’s first university, the Temple of Literature. At Thirty-Six Streets you’ll find shops that sell traditional Vietnamese crafts and foods like roasted fish, silk and bamboo products.  

• Elephant Village Fun (Laem Chabang, Thailand) Travel to the elephant village in Pattaya, which is a sanctuary for older elephants that can no longer work in the Thai jungles. Here you can spend some time with these memorable creatures as you explore pineapple, tapioca and rubber plantations on the back of an elephant. In Pattaya you’ll also see silk processing on handlooms and take a raft trip in the river.  

• Sangumburi Crater, Folk Village and Haenyeo Museum (Jeju City, South Korea) Jeju is actually a volcanic island; you can walk around one of the craters, Sangumburi, with more than 400 plant species to get an idea of the ecology of this land. At the Seongup Folk Village you can learn about the people of Jeju and visit a Confucian temple. For lunch, its pork barbecue and then you’ll visit the Haenyeo Museum dedicated to the area’s female divers who bucked their male-dominated culture.

Asia is rapidly becoming one of the world's most popular vacation destinations, thanks to the wide variety of activities and adventures available to travelers. Visit one of Asia's man-made wonders like the Great Wall or Angkor Wat. Explore one of the ancient cities or sacred temples scattered throughout the region's beautiful landscape. Enjoy the seamless marriage of ancient tradition and modern convenience with a visit to a bustling Asian metropolis like Hong Kong, Tokyo or Bangkok. Or, just relax on one of the beautiful beaches of Southeast Asia. Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia all offer pristine beaches, with white sand and crystal water.

Asian cruises present a rich tapestry of ancient traditions, interesting cultures and breathtaking sights. Climb aboard an Asian cruise and discover this complex and fascinating region for yourself.

• Asia cruises are typically 4 to 25 nights in length, but longer cruises are offered.
• Asia cruises depart from major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Bombay, Bangkok and Hong Kong. A few will depart from Australia and Alaska as they reposition to new cruise regions. Since you'll need to fly a very long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your Asia cruise. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Two crew members on a Holland America cruise ship died during an “incident” in the ship’s engineering space, the cruise line said.

The unidentified crew members died Friday while the Florida-based Nieuw Amsterdam was at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, Holland America said in a statement.

Authorities were notified and the cause of the accident is being investigated, the cruise line said. Crew members were being offered counseling.

“All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts and prayers are with our team members’ families at this difficult time,” the statement said. “The safety, security and welfare of all guests and crew are the company’s absolute priority.”

The cruise line did not offer any further details about the crew members. It later said the Bahamas Maritime Authority was leading the investigation. The ship set sail out of Fort Lauderdale on March 16 for a seven-night trip.

Onboard experiences will feature characters from stories such as “Hercules, “The Lion King,” and “One Hundred and One Dalmatians,” though the line has not yet shared additional specifics about the amenities or the ship's maiden voyage. An illustration on the bow will show Minnie Mouse "striking a valiant pose in a heroic ensemble, her cape waving majestically in the sea breeze as she boldly leads guests toward their vacation destinies,” the line added.

“The Disney Destiny will celebrate our most legendary Disney stories and characters, bringing them to life in new and exciting ways exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests,” Sharon Siskie, the line’s senior vice president and general manager, said in the release. “As we continue to expand our fleet, the Disney Destiny will further strengthen our position as a leader in family cruising as we offer even more ways for families to experience Disney magic and world-class service at sea.”

The vessel will be a sister ship to the Disney Wish and the upcoming Disney Treasure, the latter of which will set sail in December. The cruise line will also add another ship, the Disney Adventure , in 2025, which will homeport in Singapore and mark the brand’s first to sail in Southeast Asia.
