Southeast Asian Adventure
Specializing in remote areas of the South Pacific, Orion, the ultraluxe Aussie cruise line, is adding two new Southeast Asia expeditions to its calendar. Our pick, The Gulf of Siam Explorer, comprises a Singapore-to-Vietnam cruise aboard the company’s eponymous vessel in late September, with stops at hidden islands in Malaysia (including Pulau Tioman, the stunning stand-in for the fictional Bali Hai in South Pacific), Thailand, and Cambodia. After a visit to the Cambodian temples of Angkor Wat, the 106-passenger MV Orion will sail up the Saigon River past floating markets and fishing boats and dock in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) for three days of exploration. From $5,915/person (double occupancy), includes onboard meals, nonalcoholic beverages, planned expeditions; orioncruises.com.au
