Our first gay cruise to Asia was such an incredible success that we’ve created a brand new sailing to visit six extraordinary cities in Northern Asia, sailing from Shanghai to Hong Kong in March 2010 on the five-star Azamara Quest. Our fantastic custom itinerary includes South Korea, and Japan with overnights in both Osaka and Taipei. We’ll literally visit places that can only best be seen by ship, welcoming you back each day to a world of total pampering on our luxurious and intimate 684-guest ship.

It all starts in the city of the future, Shanghai, home to Expo 2010 and one of the most remarkable cities on the planet. From there we’ll sail to Busan, South Korea’s premier trading port, a bustling metropolis with magnificent vistas and serene temples. Our overnight in Osaka allows you plenty of time to visit nearby Kyoto, Japan’s most beautiful and alluring city filled with thousands of temples, gardens, and palaces. With any luck we’ll be there during the height of the “Cherry Blossom” season.

As we head further south, we’ll arrive in the city of Hiroshima, a modern city of broad avenues and beautiful seafront that stands as a monument to the promotion of world peace. Our last stop in Japan is the serene city of Kagoshima, the perfect place to see the volcanic heights of Mt. Sakurajima and other natural wonders. After a relaxing day at sea, the lively city of Taipei awaits where a full overnight allows you to explore the ancient temples, soaring skyscrapers, and fantastic nightlife of Taiwan’s largest city. A vibrant and welcoming gay scene awaits and Atlantis will work closely with locals to show you the best of it all.

Finally, we sail into spectacular Hong Kong, Asia’s most vibrant and colorful port city.

We invite you to extend your vacation, both before and after your cruise, with our many options in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Of course, you can always combine this with our Hong Kong to Singapore cruise for the ultimate Asia tour!

Sailing on a 684-passenger ship simply offers you the opportunity for indulgences in ways you never imagined on a larger ship. Quest offers exciting diversions for every taste starting with a beautiful teak pool deck with plenty of space for sunning and relaxation. The full-service spa offers pampering treatments of every type, along with a fully-equipped fitness center. Curl up with a good book or DVD from the onboard library, or relax with friends in the card room or many lounges throughout the ship.

With one staff member for every two guests, Azamara's personal service is unparalleled. In your stateroom, outside by the pool, in the Spa, anywhere at all, at anytime, their onboard family goes the extra mile to ensure every aspect of your cruise is exactly the way desire.

When you do finally return to the ship after a day of exploring, Atlantis presents intimate and carefully selected entertainment on our main stage and throughout the ship. You’ll enjoy the best in gay and lesbian comedians, singers, and cabaret performers. Plus, our custom enrichment lectures will keep you informed and entertained about the region’s history and the journey ahead.
