What makes this experience special

Key highlights

  • Don’t waste a second mooching about onboard when your ship docks in Taipei!
  • Allow your host to design a unique route for you that will help you make the most of your time in the city
  • With your host beside you (and with their local knowledge, tips and tricks) there’s no way you’ll miss out on all the must see sights and hidden gems
  • Squeeze in some sight seeing and visit the city’s highlights without getting lost (a tad stressful when you have a ship to catch)
  • Make time for an authentic meal in a local area
  • Get a taste of Taipei and enjoy dry land before setting off to sea once more

How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Shake off those sea legs and head for dry land the second you hit Taipei’s docks. One of our local Taipei hosts will take you by the hand and lead you straight to the heart of the city.

Once there, depending on your time constraints, you’ll be able to take in a few iconic sights like the Bao’an Temple and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall or walk down famous Dihua Street. As a city that’s deeply in touch with its spiritual roots, you will find temples and shrines dotted across each neighborhood of Taipei. 

If it’s about food for you, then fear not! You’ve docked in the right place. Taipei’s street food scene is so permeated into local life that some apartments are built without kitchens - now that’s commitment.

Stop by at a night market (or day market, for that matter) and sample some steaming bowls of goodness. Bid your host a warm farewell before heading back aboard, knowing you’ve savored your time in the explosive city of Taipei, and hopefully, with a mind to visit again soon.
