Detailed Itinerary
Embark Azamara Pursuit beginning at 6:00PM. All aboard by 8:30PM.
Welcome Cocktails & Briefing this evening. Meet your fellow participants and PerryGolf staff.
SIGHTSEEING: When you travel to Hong Kong, don’t forget to look up—way up— to see the 1,223 skyscrapers, more than any other city in the world. Just don’t try to find the fourth floor in any; the number is very similar to the Cantonese word for “die” so most buildings simply omit any floors that contain the number. For the best view of the iconic skyline, take a tram to the wok-shaped Peak Tower high atop Victoria Peak, which is also one of Hong Kong’s most exclusive neighborhoods. Better still, hop on the tram between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan for a cost-effective and authentic city-tour.
And if all that gazing and exploring has left you feeling peckish, Hong Kong is a foodie’s dream. Michelin-starred restaurants share walls with tiny dim-sum kitchens.
Overnight: At Sea
Today it’s time to relax and reset. Make your reservations early for The Sanctum Spa, a world-class wellness facility offering a full range of health, beauty and restorative treatments.

The Patio restaurant serves casual fare during the day then completely transforms itself into a sit-down al fresco dining experience at night with table linens and candles. Elegant specialty dining is available for beef at Prime C and Italian at Aqualina. Windows Café serves casual buffet dining with every imaginable choice indoors and out at the sensational Sunset Bar.

GOLF: Today play FLC Halong Bay. FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club opened for play in August 2017. Twenty minutes from Ha Long City and three hours from Hanoi, the 18-hole championship Schmidt-Curley designed layout offers stunning scenic ocean views over the famous UNESCO world heritage site. The golf course sits above the old town of Ha Long Bay and overlooks the spectacular limestone karst-riddled bay. The dramatic terrain offers a drastic departure from the sandy dunes of coastal Vietnamese golf sites.
SIGHTSEEING: Halong Bay, a World Heritage site recognized by UNESCO, covers 1,500 square kilometers and is part the Tonkin Gulf in the South China Sea. Ha Long Bay has nearly 2,000 limestone islands and islets along the surreal seascape of emerald waters.
Renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, this bay is best explored by boat where you can drift among the iconic islands, stopping at highlights like Sung Sot (Surprising) Cave, where dramatic stalactites and stalagmites form otherworldly shapes. For a cultural touch, visit a floating fishing village to learn about the traditional ways of life that have persisted here for generations.

GOLF: Laguna Golf Lang Co, is nestled between lush mountains and the sparkling East Sea on Vietnam’s central coast, just an hour’s drive from Hue or Danang. Designed by six-time Major champion Nick Faldo, this stunning course blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, incorporating rice paddies, streams, and coastal sand dunes. Since its opening, Laguna Golf Lang Co has earned accolades for its sustainability efforts and exceptional design, including recognition as one of Asia’s best courses.
SIGHTSEEING: Vietnam’s third largest city, Da Nang is the perfect base for day trips to both imperial Hue and charming Hoi An, two vastly different but equally worth-a-visit destinations. Perched on the picturesque Perfume River, the main attraction in Hue is its immense imperial city, a sprawling complex of temples, pavilions, moats, shops, museums, and galleries that was modelled after Beijing’s forbidden city. In contrast, Hoi An is a graceful small town with a UNESCO World Heritage Site old town filled with two-story shop houses featuring elaborately carved wooden facades—a leftover from its past as an international trading port and marketplace. Hit the streets with two feet and a heartbeat to discover the many charms of Hoi An. Fashionistas will want to visit the shops—more than 600 clothing stores can be found in this small area.

GOLF: Tan Son Nhat was built to meet the increasing demand from city residents and international visitors. Nelson & Haworth Golf Course Architects have designed a top course out of the relatively flat landscape, with earth mounding, hazards, bunkers, and undulating greens a feature of every hole. Paspalum turf has been used throughout and ensures top year-round playing conditions.
SIGHTSEEING: Whether you call it Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City, this charming port by any other name would still be as sweet. There’s an infectious energy on the streets at all hours of the day and in nightclubs that don’t really start hopping until well after midnight. Vietnam’s largest city, HCMC—as the locals refer to it—is filled with French colonial architecture and Asian influences, creating a truly unique destination. Many of the traditional French-style homes have been converted into trendy restaurants serving Vietnamese cuisine. Be sure to try the Bahn Mi—this ubiquitous sandwich is served on French-style baguette with Vietnamese ingredients like lemon grass chicken and pickled daikon and is the ultimate form of fusion cuisine.

The Plantation Course also features significant elevation changes that result in breathtaking sea views of Gulf of Thailand. Nothing was spared by designers Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley.
SIGHTSEEING: Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital, is situated on eleven riverside acres of verdant gardens along the banks of the grand Chao Phraya River, Anantara Riverside seamlessly blends the thrill of urban living with the serene charms of tropical luxury.
