Asia
Pearls of the Pacific: Exploring the Philippines and Japan
Sail from Manila through the remote island groups of the Philippines — colonial towns, Ivatan stone villages, and coral-fringed beaches — before crossing into southern Japan, where volcanic coastlines, sacred Christian sites, and the quiet gravity of Hiroshima bring a different kind of depth to every port. This is a voyage of vivid contrasts: ancient traditions still lived in the present, and landscapes shaped equally by nature and by history
