Tour China then join ultimate resort ship!
DO YOU have a yen to discover the timeless treasures of the Far East — and also love all the excitement, luxury and indulgence of cruising?
Why not combine the two by flying out for a six-day, fully escorted tour of China, followed by a 12-night cruise around South-East Asia on the magnificent Quantum of the Seas, the ultimate resort ship?
It’s a chance to experience the ancient culture of China, where you’ll find adventure and discovery around every corner.
View the Terracotta Army, take a bullet train to Beijing and explore such icons as the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall.
Then begin an incredible Asian odyssey, calling at Fukuoka in Japan, Taipei in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.
On this exclusive holiday, booked through the experts at Cruise1st.
co.uk, you’ll fly first into one of China’s most historic cities, Xi’an, for a two-night stay to see the underground army of 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses standing guard over the emperor’s tomb, having been interred some 2,000 years ago.
Walk Xi’an’s 14th-century city walls and enjoy the Tang Dynasty show in the evening.
Beijing’s many wonders await, and during a three-night exploration of the capital city’s finest sights you’ll see the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and much more, and taste the favourite dish of the Qing emperors as you enjoy a Peking Duck banquet.
Walk on the Great Wall of China and visit the Ming tombs on your last full day of this fantastic land tour, rounded off with dinner at an acrobatic show.
Then it’s time to transfer to Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas to begin your 12-night cruise.
Step aboard this amazing ship and embrace the next generation of technology at sea.
With nine onboard bars, countless great restaurants and entertainment venues, surf simulators, spas and pools — and even interior cabins that boast a ‘virtual balcony’ view — this is a cruise ship that you’ll never forget!
At charming Fukuoka, enjoy the scenic coastal views, shrines, festivals, and great shopping and dining.
Ride the Sky Dream, one of the world’s largest ferris wheels, visit the castle and the city’s excellent museums and art galleries.

Admire Nha Trang’s magnificent sweep of sandy beach, fringing a turquoise bay dotted with tropical islands, before sailing on to explore Ho Chi Minh City, a dynamic metropolis of ageless beauty.
Then arrive in Singapore and either finish your fantastic holiday by flying back overnight to the UK, or tailor your trip with an extra couple of nights to explore this cultural melting pot and shopping hotspot.
With five-star hotel stays from £69pp, you can always find the perfect excuse to delay that homeward flight a little longer!
