Charming China and Japan Cruise Holidays
The best places to cruise in February aren’t always the most obvious ones. China and Japan may not immediately spring to mind for a winter escape on the high seas, but they have a huge amount to offer.
Shanghai, for example, is home to remarkable temples, scenic river cruises, and outstanding cuisine. When considering<a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/shanghai-hongkong-stay-with-okinawa-fukuoka-cruise/778/"> </a><a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/shanghai-hongkong-stay-with-okinawa-fukuoka-cruise/778/">where to cruise in February</a>, remember you have options beyond just one destination.&nbsp;
