Why spend Christmas at home when you can join mv Discovery on the high seas. With Discovery’s Treasures of the Orient and Vietnam cruise starting at just £1,799 per person, break tradition and escape the chill on a cruise to Asia with Voyages of Discovery.

No longer will you have to worry about bickering relatives or burning the turkey, Voyages of Discovery have got it all wrapped up – not only will the ship be decorated for the occasion but over the course of Christmas day guests can feast on turkey in between carol singing and cracker pulling. Passengers will not have to worry about missing excursions because Discovery’s planners have arranged for the ship to stay at sea on Christmas day forseeing that many places of interest could be closed for the public holiday.

Apart from the festive cheer guests can expect to fall under Asia’s spell whilst visiting some of Vietnam’s most popular resorts before heading towards China to discover the incredible landscapes of Shishan Volcanic Cluster National Park and the vibrant city of Hong Kong over the New Year period.
