We think you will love this cruise. Did similar itinerary in 2017, our first cruise on Regent .since others have talked about the cities, let me just mention that Angkor Wat was on our to do list, and they had a pre-cruise trip to it. Spectacular. They also had an overland trip to the Taj Mahal, another bucket list item. A little pricey, but glad we did it. In Dubai, there was an excursion, high tea in the building that is shaped like a sail. Wonderful experience. Enjoy that part of the world on your cruise.
