We arrived in Sri Lanka expecting a brief cruise stop and left wishing we had more time. During our overnight stay in Colombo, we explored the fishing communities of Negombo, cruised through a lagoon filled with wildlife, visited a sacred Buddhist temple, and discovered a country that effortlessly balances old traditions with a rapidly modernizing future.
Most cruise passengers spend only a night in Mumbai before boarding their ship. We stayed for two days and discovered a side of the city that many visitors never see.
From the workshops of Dharavi and the bustling Sassoon Dock fish market to a home-cooked meal shared with local residents, Mumbai became far more than an embarkation port—it became one of the most memorable stops of our entire India journey.
Before boarding our cruise from Brooklyn’s Red Hook Cruise Terminal, we spent two unforgettable days exploring New York City on foot. From the quiet galleries of MoMA and the grand halls of the New York Public Library to the bright lights of Broadway and the energy of Times Square, Manhattan quickly became more than just a departure point — it became part of the adventure itself.
Using Midtown as our base, we wandered through Central Park, rode the subway downtown to the 9/11 Memorial, explored the quieter streets of Tribeca, and finally sailed past the Statue of Liberty as the Manhattan skyline faded into the distance. If you are cruising from New York, arriving a few days early might just become one of the best parts of the trip.
Taiwan surprised us in the best possible way. Over six unforgettable days based in Taipei, we explored bustling night markets, towering skyscrapers, misty mountain lakes, historic mining villages, and glowing sky lanterns drifting into the night sky. Between steaming hot pots, elegant tea houses, temple visits, and scenic day trips beyond the city, Taiwan quickly became one of the most welcoming, delicious, and rewarding destinations we’ve experienced in Asia.
