Spice & the City

Bookended by city stays, this Norwegian Cruises holiday takes you across the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand, calling at gems across the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Thailand.

Cruise & stay
16 nights

Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian is known for keeping things flexible. There’s no rigid schedule, and guests are free to dine on their own terms. It’s a relaxed, informal atmosphere that suits people who like choice and variety without the fuss of dressing up. Entertainment is lively and varied, with everything from music and comedy to high-energy shows.

Norwegian Jade
The Norwegian Jade has a friendly, sociable feel with plenty of choice on board. There’s a good mix of bars, live music venues, a spa, pools and spaces for quiet time too. You’ll find everything from Latin dance nights to wine tastings, and the ship’s smart design makes it easy settle into your home at sea.
