Asia
Pearls of the Pacific: Exploring the Philippines and Japan
Start in Manila and sail north through the Philippine archipelago — colonial towns, remote island groups and coastlines that see few expedition ships. Cross open water into Japan and enter a different world: the Ryukyu Islands have their own culture, their own architecture and a pace that sets them apart from the mainland. Work up the southwestern coast through fishing villages and castle towns, and end in Hiroshima
