But with 48 countries on the continent, thousands of islands, and, not to mention, more languages than you can shake a phrasebook at, planning your holiday can feel rather overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ll help you plan your itinerary and get you up to speed in no time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-with-the-familiar-singapore\"><strong>Start with the Familiar: Singapore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singapore is Asia\u2019s welcome mat. Immaculately clean, fiercely efficient, and, surprisingly, English-speaking, it\u2019s like dipping your toes into Asian culture without ever leaving your comfort zone. You can easily navigate your way around and immerse yourself in the vibrant surroundings without having to worry about a language barrier!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Singapore, you can indulge in both culinary and visual wonders simultaneously. Its hawker stalls offer Michelin-starred meals for as little as pocket change, while the futuristic gardens and colonial charm let you absorb the tech-savvy vibe of the country.

It is an absolute mecca of great food, rich culture, and nightlife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s affordable, warm (in both weather and welcome), and endlessly photogenic.

It&#8217;s safe, spotless, and superbly polite. As anyone who\u2019s been to Japan knows, the place feels custom-made for wandering around aimlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with Tokyo and Kyoto\u2014then, for a slower, unpack-once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rolcruise.co.uk\/country-guide\/cruises-to-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approach, consider Japan Cruises<\/a>.
