Experience a continent of contrasts
Asia contains multitudes. Orangutans swing through the close, dense jungles of Borneo. White sand beaches shift beneath the gentle lapping of turquoise waves in Indonesia and Thailand. In China, modern metropolises exist alongside some of the earth’s first civilisations. Handpicked experiences, curated by travel designers with first-hand knowledge of Asia’s destinations, mean that each trip is bespoke to you.
In China and Japan, modernity harmonises with tradition. You might spend a morning exploring Kyoto’s International Manga Museum before sharing tea with a geisha during a traditional tea ceremony, gaining a cultural insight that spans the centuries.
Arguably unrivalled, Asia’s food scene presents a tantalising palette of flavours. Learn to make a pad thai or khao soi during a cooking class on an organic farm in Chiang Mai, Thailand, or connect with strangers over shared meals, a typical way of eating, in South Korea. In Tokyo, the city with the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, fresh sushi and sashimi is whipped up before your eyes during an engaging omakase dinner.
Natural beauty punctuates every stop of your luxury Asia tour. Board a traditional junk boat to cruise past the dramatic limestone karsts that rise from the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay in Vietnam. Indonesia’s 17,000 islands each present an intoxicating blend of beaches, volcanoes and jungle. Cruise around the Komodo Islands on a private yacht, or plunge beneath the waves to immerse yourself in its kaleidoscopic marine life. In Java, guided sunrise hikes reward you with gold-drenched views of Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world.

A word from one of our experts
Asia is a place that intrigues and excites all at the same time. Enjoy a huge diversity of adventures, or soak up the atmosphere of a particular time and place in the quiet moments in between. The first sliver of morning sun as you cruise along the Mekong river, the earthy aroma of fresh coffee in Hanoi, or the glow of city lights as you take in Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing – each experience adds a new layer to your memories of Asia.
