Does anyone know when RSSC will have its 2005 Asia brochure out? Yes, I'm planning early. I'm reserved on the 2005 Tokyo to Hong Kong trip, and want to get to Xian and, if possible, get more time in Beijing. This year, they had a mid-cruise side trip to Xian and a post-cruise excursion that provided extra Beijing time. I'd like to know if they're going to do that again next year, or whether I need to look into other providers. Also, does anyone know if they had enough takers this year to do the post-cruise to Beijing? Yes, I'm planning well in advance--I want to pin down dates because I want to use FF points for flight, and feel I should book those as soon as the dates are available for booking to be sure to get the dates I want.

2005 for both Voyager and Mariner have been out for quite some time now. They're the only RSSC ships doing the far east.

Crys, no brochure yet. I check the website about once a week. I was looking at the Beijing and Xian pre-cruise (since we are on cruise after you). You can get 2004 prices from your TA; I haven't seen 2005 prices yet.

We are looking at going to Angor Wat post-cruise. If so, we will probably cancel the pre-cruise.

We will also be on that Tokoy to Hong Kong. Just to add another name and person.

Welcome theragdog!
