Singapore to Hong Kong with Regent Seven Seas Cruises

This island nation at the end of the Malaysian peninsula offers an extraordinary array of culture, history and cuisine. Embrace exotic sights and sounds strolling through Chinatown, the Arab Quarter or Little India. Head to the Boat Quay for unrivaled views of the harbor before dining at one of many international eateries. Shop along Orchard Road for treasures from every corner of the Pacific Rim; embark on a night safari at the Singapore Zoo or relax in the verdant shade of the Bukit Timah Nature Preserve. Wander the wondrously futuristic Gardens By the Bay before relaxing with a refreshing Singapore Sling at the iconic Raffles Hotel.

Referred to locally as ‘KK’, this capital of Malaysia’s Sabah state on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo is a gateway to tropical splendor, authentic tribal life and extraordinary wilderness. Scuba or snorkel the turquoise waters of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park just off Kota Kinabalu’s coast. After snapping photos of the city’s ‘floating’ mosque – an illusion created by its reflective lagoon – witness the homes and lifestyles of five distinct ethnic tribes at Mari Mari Cultural Village. In the shadow of towering Mount Kinabalu, immerse yourself in the lush rainforest, exotic wildlife and fascinating flora of World Heritage-listed Kinabalu Park.

You will be charmed by Brunei’s many beautiful markets, incredible museums and unspoiled nature. Within the capital, Muara, you will find breathtaking landmarks. The Sultan’s lavish residence is not to be missed, as it has achieved legendary status as the largest palace in the world and features a unique blend of contemporary and traditional Islamic architecture. But there is nothing traditional — or expected — in this small country in Southeast Asia. Be prepared to be surprised at every turn.

Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan, Philippines, located 306 nautical miles southwest of Manila. It is said that the city was named after a mythical young woman, and Puerto Princesa certainly lives up to her legendary splendor with miles of pristine beaches and lush wilderness. Be sure to visit the underground river — the longest in the world deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beachgoers should head to Honda Bay, consisting of several islets that are the best location for snorkeling and island hopping.

The karst limestone formations and sparkling waters of Coron, an island in the Calamian group of islands in northern Palawan, the Philippines, will linger in your mind long after you’ve departed this South China Sea paradise. Renowned as perhaps the Philippines most picturesque locale, it’s been the ancestral domain of the Tagbanwa people for over 20,000 years. A pair of lakes — Kayangan and Barracuda – offer surreal photo opportunities, as do Banol Beach and Twin Lagoon. In quiet Coron Town a walk up Mt Tapyas will reward you with eye-popping views of crystal-clear Coron Bay.

Boracay Island is a mere four miles long, yet it is home to some of the Philippines’ most beautiful and unspoiled beaches. The minute island is located just three hours from the capital city of Manila. Visit the less frequented Bulabog Beach and watch windsurfers seemingly fly across the crystal water or for a more secluded experience visit Puka Beach to the north.

The Philippine capital of Manila was founded by King Philip II of Spain. In the years that followed, the Spanish successfully prevented the Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese from settling in the Philippines. During the Seven Years’ War the British occupied Manila, but agreed to return it to Spain in 1763. During WWII, the Japanese took control during a 1942 invasion, and eventually the U.S. recaptured the islands and returned them to the Philippines. In 1946, the country was granted full independence.
