One of Asia's great economic successes, Singapore has fused diverse cultures into one dynamic nation.
Behind high-tech industries and high-rise buildings lives a society with an ingrained sense of conservative Confucian values. Beneath the westernized modernity beats a totally Asian heart. Strong beliefs center around extended families, filial piety, discipline, respect and Asian work ethics. Singapore’s name, meaning "Lion City," can be traced to the 13th century, and today there is the mythical Merlion, half-lion, half-fish, standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River as the symbol of Singapore. A recent advertising campaign billed Singapore as "A Fine City."
A beacon of modern elegance inspired by light’s allure embarks on inaugural Mediterranean voyages in 2025. Luminara, the next superyacht, features 226 suites with private terraces and unrivaled space ratios for guests at sea, while two new upper suite categories deliver 1,000 square feet of uplifting ambiance. Savor moments in five restaurants, six bars, and a wine vault. The expanded marina makes the sea your playground, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa® your haven for transformation.

Nov 23, 2027 - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is often referred to as Vietnam’s jewel and the Pearl of the Orient. Located in south Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest city, with more than six million people and over one million motorbikes. Under the current regime the city is once more being rebuilt. Whole blocks are disappearing, being replaced by concrete, steel and glass structures. Central Saigon, which is still the official name for the city center, shows evidence of the French colonial city, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés and elegant French architecture. The city is divided into two sections: Saigon, the municipal and historical district, and Cholon (Chinatown), where the entrepreneurial talent and private funds are concentrated. Cholon appears to be the most populated and in general the most vigorous part of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well worth a visit for its bustle and activity and its pagodas, which are reputed to be the finest in the whole city.

Ko Kut (Koh Kood) is the fourth largest island in Thailand and the closest to the Cambodian border. The island is covered by tropical rainforest (about 70%) with development mainly around the coastal areas. Most resorts generate their own electricity as fuel and solar energy are the primary sources of electricity. The west coast is lined with a series of lovely beaches and wonderful views which include the magnificent sunset. The east coast is equally beautiful with great views of the sunrise. Relax on the beach, snorkel around the beautiful coral reefs or visit the islands of Ko Kra, Ko Maisi Lek or Ko Raet. Ko Kra has reputedly some of the best dive sites in the Gulf of Thailand. Some of the more expensive Resorts on Ko Kut offer Banana boat, and water-skiing. In addition there is line fishing at the beaches and bays, boat rentals, and night fishing. The Nam Tok Khlong Chao or Than-Sanuk-Waterfall, which was visited by King Rama VI in 1911, is one of the most beautiful spots to be found on Ko Kut.
