Oceania Nautica

Gain an overall understanding of Hong Kong through a wealth of attractions that best represent traditional ways and modern sensibilities. For the ultimate view of the sprawling metropolis and beyond, you will take the Peak Tram to the highest point on Hong Kong Island. The tram has been running since 1888 and as the world’s steepest funicular railway it is a thrill to ride. After an equally scenic descent, you will arrive at the beautiful beach that rims Repulse Bay, where you will pause for photos before traveling to the floating village of Aberdeen. From the unique perspective of a flat-bottomed sampan, you will ease through the harbor’s calm waters observing how the locals live on boats rather than on land. Shopping is synonymous with Hong Kong and jewelry is a favorite item. You will have the opportunity to watch artists create one-of-a-kind pieces in Hong Kong’s largest jewelry factory and shop in the on-site boutique, if you wish.

Discover the natural beauty and serenity of Lantau Island, characteristics that haven’t changed since the Buddhists built a mountaintop monastery there in 1906. You will first take in the splendor of Hong Kong’s largest outlying island from a viewing platform on Tsing Yi Island and again from the Tsing Ma Bridge that connects Lantau to Kowloon Peninsula. The scenery will continue to be spectacular as you drive to Tai O, a fishing village whose residents live on junks, boats and stilt houses. As you will discover while walking through the village, Tai O is even more alluring up close. Remote Po Lin Monastery fascinates in a different manner. When constructed, it was rather inconspicuous but in 1993 the largest outdoor statue of Buddha in Asia was erected there, attracting pilgrims from all over. For yet another view of Lantau, you will ride the cable car from the highland village of Ngong Ping down to the coastal village Tung Chung.

Delve into Hong Kong’s heritage and cultural traditions by visiting the most representative historical sites, beginning with the 19th-century Man Mo Temple. Its name refers to the Chinese god of literature and the god of marital arts, both of whom were worshipped here. For a candid glimpse into everyday life, you will mingle with the locals as they browse a bustling market. The official national monument Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall is more focused on the history of one family—the Tang clan—who still use the 16th-century hall for annual rituals and seasonal festivals. Members of the powerful Man clan lived in Tai Fu Tai, a stately country mansion built in the mid-19th century. It may appear rather somber on the outside, but the interior is lavishly decorated with ornate woodcarvings and plaster moldings as befitting the well-heeled Man clan.

Explore many of the most spectacular attractions on Kowloon, a peninsula whose name means “Nine Dragons” in Cantonese, a reference to its nine hills shaped like the backs of dragons. Your overview of Kowloon will begin at Tin Hau, a temple dedicated to another mythical figure—a sea goddess. Oddly, the temple isn’t on the water anymore due to a massive land reclamation project. You will also visit three markets that will reveal the staggeringly array of goods that come into Hong Kong. One sells fresh meats, another displays a riot of brightly colored flowers and the third is devoted to jade and precious stones. The Chinese prize jade for its beauty and as a symbol of long life and good luck. Chi Lin Nunnery is revered as an extraordinary example of Tang dynasty architecture. As you will see, it was built entirely of cypress wood that is ingeniously held together without nails.

Practice the ancient martial art of tai chi under the guidance of a local master. Begin to reap the benefits of tai chi, which can include better balance and breathing. Savor a traditional Chinese meal of dim sum and hot tea.

Discover firsthand why Hong Kong is a shopping mecca by browsing three of the best markets, an experience that afternoon tea will complement. Being a crossroads for global trade for more than 150 years, Hong Kong has few rivals with regard to shopping. It is almost a sport here, as you will soon realize at Stanley Market, a treasure-trove of designer clothing and most anything else that you can imagine. The merchandise will be much more focused at the jewelry factory that you will also visit. Besides watching the artisans create bejeweled pieces in gold and silver, you will have the opportunity to purchase the exquisite items on display. If you are interested in fine ceramics, a visit to Wah Tung China Arts will be eye-opening. The vast offerings include dinnerware, decorative planters and delicate figurines. As the perfect complement to shopping, you will linger over afternoon tea in Aberdeen, a town on Hong Kong Island.

Ride the ferry to Macau and discover how this former Portuguese colony has evolved into a Special Administrative Region of China with an eclectic blend of cultures. Your first stop will be at a landmark statue dedicated to the Chinese Buddhist goddess of mercy, which stands atop a domed ecumenical center for various religions. Religious tolerance and diversity are also celebrated at A-Ma Temple, whose roots date to the 15th century. After perusing its colorful pavilions, you will pause at the ruins of St. Paul, the first Jesuit church and college in China. The Portuguese influence will be highly apparent at Senado Square, which was once the center of the colonial government. Today, it is known for its size and wave-like mosaic pavement. For the ultimate view of Macao, you will zip to the upper reaches of soaring Macao Tower for lunch and a visit to its glittery casino.

Explore Ishigaki Island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage on this captivating tour. Begin with a glass-bottom boat ride across Kabira Bay, where vibrant fish, giant clams, and coral reefs thrive in waters where black pearls are cultivated.

Then, visit Yoneko-yaki Pottery to observe artisans crafting Shisa statuettes—traditional lion-dog figures believed to protect homes from evil. Conclude at Yonehara Beach, where you can relax by the crystal-clear water, take a stroll along the sandy shore, or simply admire the colorful marine life often seen near the coral reef.

Explore Jeju’s beautiful coast and sustainable traditions on this scenic tour. Begin by strolling along the Sinchang Windmill Coastal Walkway, where towering wind turbines harness the island’s natural wind to generate electricity. You may also witness traditional fishing methods like ‘Wondam,’ where fish are trapped in stone walls at low tide, a practice that sustains local livelihoods without harming the environment. Afterward, visit Dongmun Market, the largest open-air market in Jeju, where you’ll find fresh seafood, local produce, and traditional goods like kimchi and handmade furniture.

Experience the best of Jeju with a visit to the iconic Yongduam Rock, a cultural museum, and the lively Dongmun Market. Yongduam Rock, shaped like a dragon’s head, is steeped in local legends and is a must-see symbol of the island. Continue to the Folklore and Natural History Museum, where you’ll explore exhibits showcasing Jeju’s cultural heritage, natural features, and traditional tools, like an oxen-powered millstone.

Finally, immerse yourself in the energetic atmosphere of Dongmun Market, filled with colorful merchandise, local delicacies, and the island’s freshest produce.

Witness the remarkable skills of Jeju’s famous women divers, known for their free-diving abilities, followed by a tranquil walk in the world’s largest bonsai garden.

You will observe their unique techniques and learn about the challenges they face. Afterward, visit the Spirited Garden, a serene bonsai showcase where pathways wind through volcanic rocks, waterfalls, and contemplative spaces meant to promote inner peace and reflection.

Explore two volcanic natural wonders on Jeju Island: the massive Sangumburi Crater and the awe-inspiring Manjanggul Cave. Sangumburi Crater, shaped like a natural stadium, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forest, and is home to roe deer that may be seen grazing in the crater. Next, visit Manjanggul Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest lava tubes in the world. As you walk through the cave, you'll marvel at fascinating lava formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and tunnel pathways left by molten lava.

Experience the natural and cultural wonders of Jeju Island with a visit to Seongsan Sunrise Peak and Seongeup Folk Village.

Explore the dramatic landscapes and rich history of Kagoshima with a focus on the awe-inspiring Mount Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes.

Discover the rich history and poignant stories of Chiran, a former castle town that played a key role during Japan’s feudal period and World War II. Begin your journey with a scenic drive from the port to Chiran, where you will explore well-preserved samurai residences dating back 250 years. Surrounded by moss-covered stone walls and featuring traditional black-tiled roofs, these homes capture the essence of the Edo Period. Wander through the meticulously designed gardens, where "borrowed landscaping" integrates the surrounding mountains into each serene scene.

Experience the timeless charm and natural wonders of Kagoshima on this scenic tour through the Satsuma Peninsula.

Nearby, take in the serene beauty of Lake Ikeda, a crater lake famed not only for its volcanic origins but also for legends of a mysterious creature said to inhabit its waters.

Experience the raw power of nature as you journey to Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes and a striking emblem of Kagoshima. Cruise across Kinko Bay for stunning views of the smoldering volcano, which emits smoke and ash almost daily. Learn how past eruptions, including the massive 1914 event, have shaped the surrounding landscape, even transforming Sakurajima from an island into a connected peninsula. Upon arrival, explore the Arimura Observatory, where lookout decks offer safe, yet thrilling, perspectives of the volcanic activity and the rugged terrain that past eruptions have sculpted.

Explore the historic and natural wonders of Kagoshima on a visit to the serene Sengan-en Garden and the Shoko Shuseikan Museum, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Visit the key landmarks in Nagasaki, most of which recognize the devastating effects of the atomic bomb that was dropped on the city in August 1945. At first glance, the city appears to be modern, having been rebuilt since the end of World War II; however, your exploration will also reveal more historical areas with temples and secluded gardens. Still, attractions that commemorate Nagasaki’s destruction from the bomb blast take center stage. The Peace Memorial Park now stands near Ground Zero and features statues and sculptures that countries all over the world have donated. The statue of a man with his right arm pointing to the sky to indicate the continued threat of nuclear destruction is particularly moving. You will also browse the Atomic Bomb Museum, which holds hundreds of artifacts that show the power of the bomb’s impact and contains displays on modern nuclear technology.

Discover the extraordinary ceramics produced in the city of Arita and then visit a memorial park in Nagasaki near the epicenter of the 1945 atomic bomb blast. Although it will take two hours to reach Arita, it will be well worth the time. Your immersion into ceramics will begin at Fukagawa-Seiji, a crafts company founded in 1894. The artisans here are particularly revered for their porcelain, especially the white porcelain that appears transparent. As you will see, traditional methods are still used to manufacture a wide variety of products. During free time in Arita’s atmospheric Old Town, be sure to browse the pottery galleries. While Arita is considered the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, Nagasaki will forever be remembered for the devastating atomic bomb that was dropped here. As you meander through the Peace Memorial Park, you can take a moment to reflect on the bomb’s effects.

Take in the natural beauty of Nagasaki and some of the most scenic vistas in and around town, beginning with a stop atop Mount Inasayama. Thanks to the mountain’s proximity to the city center, you will be treated to sweeping vistas of the urban sprawl. Ask the guide to point out the Peace Memorial Park, as it will be your next destination. It is located near Ground Zero of the atomic bomb that was dropped here in 1945. Today, the park is a lush oasis full of fountains, statues and sculptures that countries around the world have donated in the name of peace. You will also visit Urakami Cathedral, where relics damaged in the bomb blast are on display, including charred stone saints. For a different historical reference point, you will pause at Dejima, an artificial island built in 1636 to segregate the Portuguese population and control their missionary activities. Dejima is now part of the mainland.

Delve into the culture and history of Nagasaki by visiting two museums and a park that reveal the effects of the 1945 atomic blast and the isolationist Edo period. As you browse the displays in the Atomic Bomb Museum, you will learn about the city’s culture before the bomb struck and the aftermath of the atomic blast. The museum’s goal is to candidly show the devastation from the atomic bomb in hopes that nuclear weapons will eventually be abolished. It is only fitting that you will next visit the Peace Memorial Park, an urban greenspace built near Ground Zero of the atomic blast. For a different perspective of Nagasaki’s past, you will tour an historical museum on Dejima, an artificial island built hundreds of years ago to isolate Portuguese missionaries. Through documents, artwork and restored buildings, the museum shows what life was like during this cultural period.

Stroll a boardwalk that winds through boiling geothermal springs known as Unzen Hell and then visit Shimabara castle, which a cruel feudal lord built in the 17th century. A magma reservoir at the bottom of a nearby bay causes the steaming, hissing landscape of Unzen Hell, which is of geological and historical interest. Here, between 1627 and 1632, dozens of Christians were executed by being thrown into the boiling waters to suppress the spread of Christianity, which had been introduced to Japan about 100 years earlier. A plaque stands at Unzen Hell to commemorate the martyrs. The struggles of Japan’s early Christians are also detailed at Shimabara Castle, which was built by the lord that ordered the Christians to be murdered at Unzen Hell. The museum inside the castle showcases the ordeals of Christians at the time and their uprising in the Shimabara Rebellion. The five-tiered castle is a reproduction of the original, except for the stone foundation and moat that survived intact.

Discover the best of Shanghai on this full-day tour that blends the city’s modern marvels with its rich cultural heritage.
