Incheon, Korea

View cruises with Incheon, Korea

In 1394, royal geomancers chose the site of present-day Seoul as the new capital of the Chosen Dynasty. Today the capital of Korea is home to over ten million inhabitants, a quarter of the country's population. The city is one of the great showcases of Asia, a center for trade, commerce - and tourism. Despite Seoul's hyper-modernism, the city offers an intriguing counterpoint between past and present. Bustling traffic speeds by quiet palace gardens while modern skyscrapers tower over century-old shrines.

The port of Incheon is your gateway to Seoul and South Korea. Westerners first entered Korea from the port in the 1880s. Incheon was also the site of General Douglas Macarthur's surprise amphibious landing during the Korean War.
