Sapphire Princess Cruise to China, Our Itinerary, Review, and Pictures

October 14, 2006

Cruise review of our Sapphire Princess cruise to Asia.

To begin our review of the Sapphire Princess cruise to Asia, here is our itinerary and a map showing our destinations and ports of call.   We've got 5 days at sea interspersed throughout the cruise, which is nice because sea days are more restful.  They allow us to recharge for the next port, and give us time to work on the website. 

Following the cruise we will be staying in Beijing for a couple of days so we can visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square, unfortunately we will not be able to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Looks like it's going to be another great cruise ship vacation.
