An Amazing Adventure
Our journey begins in cosmopolitan Hong Kong, certainly the most lively and exciting city in all of Asia. In Vietnam, we start in Hue where a massive open-air museum of temples, pagodas, and palaces await. The pristine beaches of Nha Trang offer excellent diving, stunning vistas, and a glimpse into Asia’s growing tourism culture. Our last stop in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, considered the “Paris of Asia” by many and the heart and soul of Vietnam.
After a relaxing day at sea, Atlantis welcomes you to Bangkok, a city of ancient temples, towering high-rises, insane nightlife, and unforgettably wonderful people. Our small ship size allows us to dock in the center of town, less than 15 minutes to the major temples, shopping, and nightlife of this city of endless adventure. And with a full overnight, you’ll have plenty of time to sample this city’s best by night as well.
From Bangkok, we’ll sail to the island of Ko Samui, a small tropical paradise of white sand beaches, waterfalls, and stunning natural scenery. Finally, we arrive in bustling Singapore, where Chinese, Malay, and Indian traditions all come together in the world’s busiest port.
Options abound to extend your trip, both in our port cities and beyond. Details will be announced in early July.
In a World of Total Luxury
Sailing on a 684-passenger ship simply offers you the opportunity for indulgences in ways you never imagined. Quest offers exciting diversions for every taste. There’s a beautiful teak pool deck with plenty of deck space for sunning and conversation. The full-service spa offers pampering treatments of every type, along with a fully-equipped fitness center. Curl up with a good book or DVD from the onboard library, or relax with friends in the card room or many lounges throughout the ship.
With one staff member for every two guests, Azamara's personal service is unparalleled. In your stateroom, outside by the pool, in the Spa, anywhere at all, at anytime, their onboard family goes the extra mile to ensure every aspect of your cruise is exactly the way desire.
Intimate & Exciting Entertainment
When you do finally return to the ship after a day of exploring, Atlantis presents intimate and carefully selected entertainment on our main stage and throughout the ship. You’ll enjoy the best in gay and lesbian comedians, singers, and cabaret performers. Plus, our custom enrichment lectures will keep you informed and entertained along the entire journey.
We’ll redefine revelry with our unique deck T-dances and evening parties, featuring leading DJ talent from around the world. A variety of musical acts entertain throughout the ship, and there’s an exciting casino waiting for you to test your luck.

Since the 1960s, Key West has provided a home for gays & lesbians, transgenders, drag queens, and a cast of other colorful characters, drawn to the year-round sunshine. This collection of sandy outcroppings was once a haven for rum smugglers and others shunning the limelight. Ernest Hemingway's Key West abode and former haunts alone are worth exploring, as is the only coral reef ecosystem in the United States. The island's charming old town is teeming with quaint restaurants and unique shops.

The 40 islands and cays of Turks & Caicos are consistently voted as having the world's best snorkeling and diving. With one of the longest coral reefs in the world, the warm, inviting waters are perfect for exploring sea wildlife. The breathtaking hues of the water are equally well-enjoyed from the white sand beaches. The towns of Providenciales and Grand Turk boast a clever blend of Turks & Caicos' Spanish, French and British colonial history and local Bermudan culture.

Somewhat remote and removed from the tourist trail, this patch of paradise is home to one of the most important rain forests and mangrove reserves in the Caribbean. Its crystal-clear coast features some of the best diving on the northern side of the Dominican Republic, with clarity of up to 150 feet in some spots. Every winter, thousands of humpback whales migrate south to Samana Bay. During mating season, you can find up to 300 at any given time, frolicking and showing off.
