Best of Asia!

Discover some of East Asia’s most dynamic cities and culturally rich ports on a nine-night journey from Hong Kong to Tokyo aboard EXPLORA III. Begin amid Hong Kong’s dramatic skyline before continuing to Shanghai, where historic neighborhoods and modern architecture meet along the waterfront. In Japan, the voyage moves through Shimonoseki, Kochi, Osaka and Toba, offering a compelling mix of regional cuisine, temples and shrines, historic traditions, vibrant city life and coastal scenery. The journey concludes in Tokyo, bringing together the contrasts that make this part of Asia so fascinating, from centuries-old customs to some of the world’s most forward-looking cities.

Best of Asia combines an unusually varied itinerary with the intimate, luxury atmosphere of Explora Journeys and the welcoming experience of traveling with Kelli Gregg Travel. Rather than visiting only the region’s major gateway cities, the itinerary balances Hong Kong, Shanghai, Osaka and Tokyo with smaller Japanese destinations such as Shimonoseki, Kochi and Toba, providing a broader look at the culture and character of the region. Traveling as part of a Kelli Gregg Travel-hosted group adds the opportunity to share those discoveries with a community of fellow travelers while enjoying the spacious accommodations, elevated dining and relaxed yacht-inspired style of EXPLORA III.
