Gliding across to Bali, we alight in Benoa for the charming capital, Denpasar. Next, we head north along the Makassar Strait to Sandakan, gateway to Sabah’s must-visit Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center. Puerto Princesa in Palawan is our starting point for a hop around the Philippines’ emerald islands, with a visit to the white sands of Boracay and two days in buzzing Manila. Sailing on, we stop at Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam before heading for the bright lights of Singapore.

Our first sight of India is Port Blair, capital of the Andaman Islands, after which we call in at Sri Lanka’s peaceful Hambantota and bustling capital of Colombo. Returning to India, we visit beautiful Cochin, Mangalore, and Mormugao before an overnight stay in the 24-hour city of Mumbai.

Melbourne, Australia

mar 10, 2028

Melbourne, Australia picture
Experience Melbourne, Australia's cosmopolitan cultural hub, where a labyrinth of laneways, world-class dining, vibrant street art, and a thriving arts scene meld together in a city that captivates the senses. Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria - and a global capital of trend-setting cool. Dynamic, sporty and arty, it still maintains an air of old-world grace with spacious tree-lined boulevards and expansive parks. The prosperous lifestyle of its people is both cosmopolitan and sophisticated. The heritage of more than 100 different cultures has contributed to Melbourne's richly international character - exemplified by its range of 15,000 dining venues offering more than 50 different kinds of cuisine.

Portland, Australia

mar 11, 2028

9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Portland, Australia picture
The broad-backed giants of the ocean, mighty Southern Right whales, come within meters of the shore during their annual migration off this seafaring city in Victoria. Venture to nearby Cape Bridgewater to also spot the powerful blows of blue whales as they feast on this coast's abundant krill, as well as hundreds of long-nosed fur seals nonchalantly lolling on rocks. There are many layers of history to be unearthed, too: the ding-ding-dinging cable tram rolls from the maritime discovery center to a clutch of museums; while inland, Budj Bim national park – in a dormant volcano – is central to the culture of the Gunditjmara people, who are the traditional owners of the land.

Adelaide, Australia picture
Discover Adelaide, South Australia's elegant capital, where a fusion of charming architecture, lush parklands, and a thriving food and wine scene create a refined and inviting urban experience. Adelaide straddles the Torrens River on a narrow plain between the Mt. Lofty Ranges and the blue waters of the Gulf of St. Vincent, boasting a profusion of gardens, playgrounds, sporting fields and colorful flower beds. Affectionately known as the "City of Churches," the combination of verdant parklands and stately buildings imbue this prosperous center with enduring grace and character.

Kangaroo Island, Australia

mar 13, 2028

8:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Kangaroo Island, Australia picture
Few places in the world have more diverse flora and fauna than this epic outcrop off South Australia. From bottlenose dolphins, black cockatoos, echidnas and goannas to kangaroos, koalas, sea lions and wallabies, it's an A-Z of Antipodean zoology. As soon as a nearby leaf rustles, you'll want your binoculars at the ready. But if the adrenalin of a wildlife sighting isn't enough, there are more full-throttle experiences on offer: quad-biking in the bush; sandboarding down the dunes; and exploring a two-kilometer-long subterranean labyrinth of sinkholes and caverns. Lower your pulse once more in the boutique vineyards that craft cool-climate wines with minimal intervention.

Albany (Western Australia), Australia

mar 16, 2028

7:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Albany (Western Australia), Australia picture
Nature at its most wild and rugged is the wondrous spectacle on offer in this corner of Western Australia. To take it all in, impressively engineered lookouts are cantilevered over towering cliffs as the sapphire ocean foams and froths below, while hikes to a granite skywalk scale rocky outcrops that were millions of years in the making. This area also has some of the country's most incredible beaches: green pools sheltered by giant boulders; scoops of squeaky white sand and rolling surf. Even the eerie Historic Whaling Station seems in awe of the natural world, with its huge sperm whale skeleton reminding us of the powerful creatures of the deep.

This being the Coral Coast, pristine waters for snorkeling amid teeming reefs are never far away. At night, remember to look up for sightings of the Milky Way, which arcs over the ink-dark skies of this little-trodden region.

Sandakan (Sabah), Malaysia

mar 26, 2028

7:00 AM - 5:00 PM

8 EXCURSIONS

Sandakan (Sabah), Malaysia picture
Despite its picture-perfect beaches and its turquoise seas, Sandakan's proximity to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre makes it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. The rehabilitation center offers the opportunity to witness and support crucial conservation of these gentle giants while experiencing the natural wonders of Borneo. Located within a lush rainforest setting, the center provides a semi-wild environment for these magnificent creatures to relearn essential survival skills. As to be expected on a tropical island, the surrounding area teams with natural wonders. The Kinabatangan River is a perfect place to spot proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, and various bird species, while the surrounding Sulu Sea is known for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. However, if you are more of a historian than a wildlife expert, note that Sandakan played a crucial role in Malaysia's history as an important trading port during British colonial rule. The city has a poignant historical connection with World War II, notably the Sandakan Death Marches, a tragic chapter in which prisoners of war endured forced marches and harsh conditions.

With about 25 dive sites in the area, this is the scuba capital of Vietnam – and anyone from total novices to experienced old hands can take the plunge. Nha Trang is also known for its buzzing beach life and island-hopping excursions, but it's worth wandering away from the coast.

Situated on South Andaman Island, in the center of the Bay of Bengal, Port Blair, the entry point (and capital) for visiting the Andamans, is well and truly off the tourist trail. It's incredibly remote, Just 36 of the 500 island archipelago are open to visitors and with no commercial airport, non-residents to the region are few and far between. Lack of tourists however means good news for the local wildlife. 86% of the Andamans are covered with forest, so wildlife is one of the main attractions here: 270 species of birds (including 14 endemic birds) call the islands home, while underwater the kaleidoscopic marine life is rich and plentiful. The island once served as a penal colony and Cellular Jail, built by the British when India was under colony in the 18th century, offers a chance to see how the colonial government of India treated its exiled criminals and political prisoners.

Witness fascinating harvesting and production processes at Hambantota Salt Factory, where vast salt pans shimmer in the sun.

Cochin, also known as Kochi, is a captivating city in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala. This bustling destination is an enchanting jumble of modernity and tradition, which you'll find reflected in its architecture, from its ancient churches and temples to its British colonial-era buildings. The city is one of India's most photographed, largely due to its iconic Chinese fishing nets dotting the coastline. The ingeniously designed nets have become synonymous with Cochin's waterfront and add a touch of unique charm to the coastal landscape. Head down to the waterfront to see how generations of fishermen use a system of ropes and pulleys to lower and raise the nets into the waters of the Arabian Sea. Historically, Cochin has vast significance as a spice trading hub, and has been one of the most significant spice route ports for over 5,000 years. This history is palpable in its bustling markets and aromatic spice stalls. Visitoris might also like to explore the historic Fort Kochi area, where cobblestone streets and colonial houses narrate tales of Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences.
