For a great escape from Hong Kong, consider an ocean cruise to China and Vietnam. Alternatively, you might try sitting back and relaxing on a one-night cruise of the South China Sea. As with other world-class cruise experiences, restaurants serve international food non-stop, bars are within stumbling distance of each other, swimming pools are great for lounging, and the fitness gyms and spas help with cruise-induced over-indulgence. Entertainment includes live shows and bands. Of course, being an Asian cruise line, facilities would not be complete without Mah-jong halls and Karaoke rooms. Weekly departures and reasonable prices just add to the many temptations.
