(NC) Asia is the world’s largest continent by landmass, it is bordered by Europe and the Pacific, Indian and Arctic Oceans, and is home to roughly 50 different countries. All of which means it’s pretty much impossible to visit all of Asia in one trip. But there are ways to narrow your focus on a few key bucket-list destinations.  

Choose a base of operations
Travelling from Canada, there are multiple Asian airports you can use as your hub for exploring the region, including Tokyo, Japan, Seoul, South Korea and Singapore. There are even some non-stop options from Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. 
Each city is worth exploring on its own, but then you can use the local airport as a jumping off point to visit other nearby countries. 

Consider a cruise or guided tour 
If you’re still feeling a little overwhelmed about getting around multiple countries where you don’t speak the language, there are options to simplify your trip, including cruises and package tours. 

Tour operators such as Air Canada Vacations, offer multiple options for guided excursions that can take care of all the guesswork for you with itineraries that take a deep-dive on a single country, such as Japan, South Korea or Thailand, while others will provide you with a regional snapshot with stops in multiple countries. 

Another option is to cruise around the region. Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok, are all options for starting a cruise that will make multiple stops. Plus, at the end of the day, you can always return to the onboard comfort of your room and enjoy the fine dining that cruises have become known for.
