We choose this cruise for two reasons,.Firstly we had sailed with Celebrity Eclipse to the Baltic in 2016 following two years with Cunard and had found it to be the equal in quality but aimed at a younger market and secondly the itinery which took us from Hong Kong to Vietnam then to Thailand and finishing in Singapore was exceptional
From this perspective the cruise worked well with excellent tours at each port but there was no comparison with our previous experience of Celebrity.
Embarkation was pretty smooth and we were aboard in no time at all following a first class overnight stay at the Dorset Hotel in Hong Kong (previously known as the Cosmopolitan).
