Itinerary

Fly overnight from the UK to Bangkok, where your Far East adventure begins.
Arrive in Bangkok and check in to Banyan Tree Bangkok for a two-night stay. Whether you choose to explore the city's gilded temples and vibrant markets or unwind at your luxury hotel, you'll have time to settle into Thailand before your cruise.
After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the port to embark Crystal Serenity. Settle into your suite, explore the ship's exceptional restaurants and lounges and enjoy your first evening on board as your voyage begins.
Ko Kut
With its secluded beaches, lush rainforest and clear turquoise waters, Ko Kut offers a more tranquil side of Thailand. Spend your day unwinding on the shore, snorkelling colourful reefs or kayaking through peaceful mangroves. If you'd like to explore further, hike to Khlong Chao Waterfall or visit one of the island's traditional fishing villages.
Phu Quoc
Vietnam's largest island is a captivating blend of natural beauty and local culture. Discover rainforest trails, mangroves and vibrant coral reefs within its UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, or spend time exploring bustling markets, fishing villages and Buddhist temples. If you're keen to sample the island's flavours, don't miss its renowned seafood and locally produced pepper and fish sauce.
Enjoy your first full day on board Crystal Serenity. Relax by the pool, unwind in the Aurora Spa, or savour world-class dining, from refined Italian cuisine at Osteria d'Ovidio to the celebrated flavours of Umi Uma by Nobu Matsuhisa. As evening falls, settle in for live entertainment before another day of discovery.
Ho Chi Minh City
Experience the energy of Ho Chi Minh City, where French colonial architecture sits alongside a thriving modern metropolis. Delve into Vietnam's history at landmarks such as the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum, browse the bustling Ben Thành Market or sample authentic street food, from fragrant bánh xèo to the city's much-loved broken rice dishes.
As Crystal Serenity sails towards your next destination, enjoy another leisurely day on board. Join a wellness class, unwind with a treatment in the Aurora Spa, browse the boutiques or simply relax on deck with uninterrupted ocean views before another evening of exceptional dining and entertainment.
Brunei
Gateway to Brunei, Muara offers an introduction to one of Southeast Asia's lesser-visited destinations. Discover a country where pristine rainforests and peaceful beaches sit alongside a rich cultural heritage. Visit the elegant Muara Town Mosque, explore nearby nature reserves teeming with birdlife or enjoy the relaxed coastal atmosphere.
Kota Kinabalu
Framed by the South China Sea and the rainforest-clad landscapes of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu is the gateway to Sabah's natural wonders. Spend your time snorkelling in the nearby marine park, browsing local markets for handcrafted souvenirs or exploring the lively waterfront, where restaurants and cafés overlook the harbour.
Take time to revisit your favourite spaces on board, from the inviting lounges and pool deck to the ship’s exceptional dining venues, or unwind in the comfort of your Aquamarine Veranda Suite.
Boracay
Discover Boracay, a tropical island known for its powder-soft beaches, crystalline waters and laid-back atmosphere. Spend your day relaxing on the famous White Beach, exploring the island’s natural beauty or gaining insight into local traditions at the Motag Living Museum before enjoying the vibrant dining and nightlife scene.
Manila
Explore Manila, a city where centuries of history meet the energy of a modern capital. Discover the Spanish colonial heritage of Intramuros, including Fort Santiago and San Agustin Church, or take a quieter moment in Rizal Park before admiring the famous sunsets over Manila Bay.
Enjoy a final day to savour the exceptional experience of Crystal Serenity. Take time for a leisurely breakfast, relax by the pool, revisit your favourite dining venues or enjoy the tranquillity of your final hours at sea before arriving in Hong Kong.
Disembark Crystal Serenity in Hong Kong, where your journey concludes in one of Asia's most captivating cities. Take in the dramatic skyline, explore vibrant neighbourhoods and savour world-class cuisine before your onward flight home.
