Asia is a massive region that stretches thousands of miles in all directions. Given the size, cruises tend to target specific areas: Those sailing between Singapore and Hong Kong focus on Vietnam, while others stick to the eastern Indonesian archipelago. Still others follow Japan's coastline or hug the western shores of Malaysia and Thailand. In addition, river cruises in the region are increasingly popular, too, with choices on the Yangtze River in China, the Mekong River (which flows through a variety of cities), and the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.
