Oceania Cruises

Oceania Nautica

Explore landmarks that showcase the splendor of Bangkok and influence of Buddhism and then enjoy a river cruise through the Thonburi district. At the Golden Buddha Temple, you will see a massive statue of Buddha that was once covered with plaster to hide its gold composition from invaders. The Buddha at Wat Phra Keo temple may be even more sacred and priceless as it is carved from a single piece of emerald-green jasper. The temple sits within the Grand Palace complex, a collection of lavishly decorated buildings, bejeweled with gilt and multi-colored glass mosaics, and soaring finials topped with glittering spires. As you will discover, the palace is still used for royal ceremonies and state occasions. A leisurely cruise down the Chao Phraya River and through the canals of one of Bangkok’s most scenic residential areas follows. Along the way, you will see traditional teakwood houses built on stilts, as well as Wat Arun, the glorious Temple of Dawn.

This full day tour allows you to absorb many of the outstanding highlights of Bangkok, with a minimum of walking.

Mingle with the locals as they shop at a bustling morning market in the Silom district of Bangkok before heading to a nearby Hindu temple that welcomes devotees of other religions. The market offers a genuine window into daily life, as the vendors tend to carry useful products rather than souvenirs. While wandering about the many stalls, be sure to sample some of the foods characteristic of Bangkok. The offerings are usually eclectic and could range from grilled river fish to papaya salad to sticky rice desserts. For an authentic glimpse into the spiritual side of Bangkok, you will visit Sri Maha Uma Devi, a temple that Indian immigrants founded in the 19th century during the reign of King Rama IV. The temple was built as a place to worship the benevolent Uma goddess in accordance with Shaktism, one of the denominations of Hinduism. Be sure to notice the top of the temple’s exterior, which is particularly colorful and ornate.

Gain a unique perspective of Bangkok’s waterways and see some of the attractions that highlight the charms of the river and canals. As you cruise the city’s always bustling Chao Phraya River, you will take in picturesque scenes of traditional life on the water. You can expect to see floating grocery stores, water taxis zipping about and teakwood houses built on stilts. In time, you will stop to browse the Royal Barge Museum, which houses the ornately decorated longboats that were once used for royal functions. You might also see a gold-encrusted swan-shaped barge used solely by the king. Wat Arun, known as the Temple of Dawn, will present yet another side of Bangkok, as it features a soaring tower-like spire that symbolizes Mount Meru, which is supposedly the center of the universe.

Discover the charms of the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple and see firsthand why they are among the most popular attractions in Bangkok. Considered to be an extraordinary example of an ancient Siamese court, the palace was built in 1782 at the beginning of the Chakri Dynasty. The entire complex sprawls over nearly one square mile in the heart of Bangkok and served as the residence of Thailand’s kings for 150 years. Within the palace compound, you will find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which holds a 14th-century statue of Buddha that was carved from a single piece of emerald-green jasper. The king of Thailand changes the Buddha’s robes each season in an elaborate ritual, during which he also sprinkles water over the monks to bring good fortune. Be sure to notice the murals on the temple walls that depict the life of Buddha and steps to enlightenment.

Behold one of the most spectacular private art collections in Asia at the Prasart Museum, which is open by appointment only. Real estate tycoon Prasart Vongsakul created the museum to hold Thai artwork that he spent his life collecting because so much of it was leaving the country. These national treasures are displayed in a collection of classic Thai buildings. Vongsakul personally constructed much of the complex using long-forgotten building techniques. The exhibits display art ranging from prehistoric times to the late-19th century that includes exquisite porcelain and pottery and traditional Thai paintings and furnishings. While meandering about the surrounding gardens, you can expect to see dozens of Buddha statues, shrines and a teak pavilion on stilts above a lotus pond. Much of the foliage was planted because of its association with Thai literature.

Enjoy a glimpse into the past splendor of the Siamese kingdom by visiting the 14th-century city of Ayutthaya, an acclaimed World Heritage site. Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya remained the kingdom’s capital until 1767, when the conquering Burmese destroyed it. As you tour the magnificent excavated ruins, you will behold a collection of towering spires known as prangs and begin to understand the significance of the city, which was once one of the world’s largest, most cosmopolitan urban areas. Be sure to notice the city’s rigid grid layout and the moats and canals around the principal structures. You will also visit the Buddhist temple Wat Mahathat within the complex. The royal summer palace of Bang Pa-In lies nearby on an island in the middle of a lake. An excellent example of classic Thai architecture, it is one of the most photographed buildings in the kingdom.

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.

Immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural heritage of Ko Samui with visits to two prominent temples. Start at the Big Buddha Temple, home to a 36-foot golden statue, and then explore the serene Plai Laem Temple, featuring intricate designs and statues of Guanyin and a laughing Buddha. After a traditional Thai lunch at a beach resort, visit a coconut plantation to see how local monkeys are trained to pick coconuts—a tradition that supports the island’s coconut industry. Along the way, enjoy scenic coastal views and gain insights into local life.


Discover the scenic beauty and cultural heritage of Ko Samui on this island tour. Begin with a visit to a coconut plantation, where you’ll watch trained monkeys skillfully harvest coconuts, a centuries-old tradition. Then explore two of Ko Samui’s most revered temples: the Big Buddha Temple, featuring a towering golden Buddha, and the serene Plai Laem Temple, known for its stunning statue of Guanyin and vibrant murals. Before returning to the pier, enjoy a photo stop at Chaweng Beach, one of the island’s most picturesque spots.

Explore the culinary culture of Ko Samui with a visit to a local market followed by a hands-on cooking class at the luxurious Nora Beach Resort & Spa. Begin your journey by meandering through the bustling market stalls, where your guide will explain the key ingredients used in Thai cuisine. At the resort, join a 120-minute cooking class led by a chef, where you’ll help prepare traditional dishes like chicken coconut soup and stuffed crabmeat. After enjoying the meal you’ve created, stop at the iconic Big Buddha Temple for a final cultural highlight before returning to the pier.

Zip across the sea by speedboat to the tropical paradise of Koh Maa Island, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life. Snorkel in the national marine park, where you might encounter colorful species such as clown anemonefish, emperor angelfish, and even sea turtles. After exploring the underwater world, enjoy a scenic cruise around Pha-Ngan Island, known for its beautiful beaches and lively full-moon parties. Finish your adventure with a traditional Thai lunch, likely featuring fresh seafood.

Immerse yourself in Ko Samui’s rich spiritual heritage with visits to three distinctive temples. Start at Khunaram Temple, where the mummified monk wearing sunglasses, fulfilling his final wishes, draws curious visitors. Continue to the Big Buddha Temple, home to a massive golden Buddha and serene meditation huts. At the lakeside Plai Laem Temple, admire the vibrant statues of a laughing Buddha and the 18-armed goddess Guanyin. End the tour on a lighter note with a visit to a coconut plantation, where trained monkeys demonstrate their skill in harvesting coconuts from tall trees.

Unwind at a luxurious waterfront resort on Ko Samui’s famous Chaweng Beach, where you can spend hours enjoying the amenities at your leisure. Lounge by the pool or on the beautiful crescent-shaped beach, take a dip in the calm sea, or enjoy a peaceful stroll along the shore. Shaded by coconut palms, the resort provides the perfect tropical setting for relaxation. Around midday, indulge in a delicious buffet lunch featuring Thai dishes, complemented by refreshing beverages.

Visit a sanctuary where rescued elephants live in an environment that mimics their natural habitat. Learn about their former lives in the logging industry and witness their transformation as they are treated ethically and humanely. Watch the elephants engage in natural behaviors like socializing, wading in water, and cooling off in the mud. You will also help prepare their daily meal, which includes bananas, sugar cane, and watermelons, and learn how vitamin balls are used to supplement their diet in the sanctuary.

Leave the bustling city behind for a peaceful journey through the lush Mekong Delta, much of which you’ll explore by boat. Begin with a visit to Vinh Trang, an ornate Buddhist temple adorned with large statues of Buddha and surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens filled with bonsai and ornamental shrubs. The serenity of this site contrasts with the rich agricultural landscape of the delta, where you will cruise past terraced rice paddies, expansive fruit orchards, and fields of soybeans and sugarcane. Disembark on Thoi Son Island for an authentic taste of village life, where you’ll meet locals and enjoy honey tea, fresh fruits, and a traditional music performance. Following a hearty meal featuring regional specialties like elephant ear fish and grilled pork, continue your adventure through the delta's narrow waterways aboard a traditional wooden sampan, gaining a unique perspective on this rural and water-centric way of life.

Explore an intricate underground network of tunnels that served as a hidden refuge for Viet Cong forces during the Vietnam War. The section of tunnels that you’ll visit is located beneath the Cu Chi district, about 40 miles north of Ho Chi Minh City. Originally dug during the late 1940s war for independence from French colonial rule, the tunnels eventually extended for thousands of miles and evolved into a hidden city complete with living quarters, kitchens, hospitals, and schools. The tunnels—typically around five feet high and less than three feet wide—had cleverly camouflaged air vents that resembled natural holes. The section you’ll tour has been slightly widened for safety, but it still provides a sense of the conditions faced by those who lived underground. Constructing the tunnels was painstakingly laborious, with much of the digging done by hand. Before abandoning the tunnels, the Viet Cong often left behind booby traps to thwart invading forces.

Delight in a mesmerizing performance of traditional Vietnamese music and dance that beautifully captures the region’s rich cultural diversity. The show features costumed dancers performing routines that range from historically inspired stories to visually captivating fan dances. These dances showcase the dancers' impressive skills as they use fans to imitate the graceful movement of colorful flowers floating in the air. Accompanied by hauntingly beautiful melodies, the music is played on traditional instruments such as zithers, fiddles, and lutes, offering a profound connection to Vietnam’s heritage. The revered Nha Nhac, a form of Vietnamese court music recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, adds to the enchanting atmosphere.

Delve into the history and spirituality of Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist monument, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Constructed in the 8th and 9th centuries, this ancient marvel was later abandoned and shrouded in volcanic ash before its rediscovery and restoration in the 19th century. As you stroll the temple’s layered terraces, you’ll pass intricate carvings, statues of Buddha, and iconic bell-shaped stupas, each representing stages toward enlightenment. After exploring Borobudur, savor a buffet of Indonesian specialties while enjoying a cultural performance, followed by a visit to a local workshop where traditional batik fabric and silver jewelry are crafted by hand.

Enjoy a scenic journey through central Java on a vintage steam-powered train and discover Indonesia’s coffee heritage with a tour of a working plantation. Your adventure begins at the Ambarawa Railway Museum, home to a unique collection of historic locomotives, train memorabilia, and 19th-century railway artifacts. The steam train ride from Ambarawa to Tuntang offers unforgettable views of lush rice paddies, flowing streams, and distant mountain ranges. At the coffee plantation, learn how Dutch colonialists introduced coffee in the 1600s, and enjoy a traditional buffet lunch with a fresh cup of “java” brewed onsite.

Journey to the Gedong Songo Temple complex on horseback, where you’ll marvel at these 8th-century Hindu temples nestled in the mountains of central Java. Originally built over a thousand years ago and rediscovered by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1804, these temples showcase early Javanese architecture amid serene, forested trails that reach up to 4,000 feet.
