This is a land of contrasts, where time-honored customs are performed in the shadow of state-of-the-art skyscrapers. Though visitors come to Asia for the traditional -- a tea ceremony in Shanghai, Shinto shrine tours in Tokyo, savory curry in Phuket -- they'll also find an awe-inspiring pace of technological innovation. Asia indulges all interests, joining the old and the new to engage travelers in search of variety as well as vitality.

China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam are just a few of the countries visited by P&O Cruises. Passengers will sample sushi, tour tropical islands and visit imposing palaces as they traverse fascinating eastern capitals. The beauty of the region -- from its cosmopolitan coastal cities to the small rural villages lying just beyond -- offers an attraction in itself.
