Grand Journey

Singapore is a vibrant and multicultural city-state located in Southeast Asia, famous for its architectural style, foodie culture, and hawker markets. Singapore&#39;s history is one of riches and romance, spice trading and piracy, colonialism, and ultimately, growth into one of Asia&#39;s greatest success stories. Temples, mosques and churches stand as serene reminders of the varied migrations that have graced its history. Discover the mansions and polo greens of colonial Singapore, the mystique of Chinatown, and the heady aroma of spices along Arab Street.

Bustling Port Kelang is the principal port of entry for Malaysia. The country&#39;s capital, Kuala Lumpur, is a surprisingly modern city of domes, minarets and spacious, tree-lined avenues. Her symbols of faith are visible at the Jamek Mosque, the city&#39;s birthplace.

Located on the ancient spice routes, Penang is a compelling blend of Old World Asia, Sumatra, India, and the influences of its various European settlers over the centuries. It has been a historical link between Europe and the Middle East, and its modern identity remains a kaleidoscope ofcultures. Lively markets offer adventures for the palate, its emerging art scene adds intrigue tothe urban jungle, and Penang Bridge and Penang Hill afford sweeping vistas.

Residents call Phuket `The Pearl of the South,` and one visit to this green, sun-soaked island in the Andaman Sea will show you why. The coast is a succession of magnificent beaches, the forested interior boasts virgin rain forests and numerous cacao, pineapple, and rubber plantations. The culture is a distinctive blend of Portuguese, Chinese and indigenous Chao Naam: a proud, seafaring people.

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&#39;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.

Arriving in Hambantota, you will likely have Sri Lanka&#39;s wildlife on your mind. Just over an hour away is Yala Safari Park, a jungled, grassy, lagoon-rich sanctuary bordering the Indian Ocean, which provides refuge for one of the world&#39;s biggest leopard populations, as well as elephants, sloth bears, and jackals. Closer to the port is Bundala National Park, a mosaic of dunes and waterways harboring nearly 200 bird species, among them greater flamingos that flock in for the winter, creating a dazzling, pink spectacle. The park is also home to elephants, civets, giant squirrels, marine turtles, and the fearsomely named mugger crocodiles. But Hambantota itself is not short of attractions. Witness fascinating harvesting and production processes at Hambantota Salt Factory, where vast salt pans shimmer in the sun. Explore the region&#39;s rich cultural history at Magampura Ruhunu Heritage Museum, or pay a sobering visit to the area devastated by the 2004 tsunami, learning about the community&#39;s experience, resilience, and rebuilding.

Known for its lively local culture, Colombo, Sri Lanka&#39;s commercial capital, combines tropical landscapes with an unforgettable cosmopolitan vibe. Sri Lanka&#39;s capital until recent times, this fascinating city is filled with an intriguing blend of cosmopolitan buildings and ancient temples. A key stop on the spice routes, Portuguese, Dutch, and British trading companies left behind churches, monuments and religions, as well as smatterings of their languages that have been incorporated into the speech and daily routine of the local Sri Lankans.

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&#39;ll find reflected in its architecture, from its ancient churches and temples to its British colonial-era buildings. The city is one of India&#39;s most photographed, largely due to its iconic Chinese fishing nets dotting the coastline. The ingeniously designed nets have become synonymous with Cochin&#39;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.

A gateway to the national parks and gilded palaces of Karnataka on India&rsquo;s west coast, this progressive, multi-lingual city is also deeply rooted in the past. Here, a 1,000-year-old bronze idol rests beneath the powder-blue roof of a temple, and Sistine Chapel-esque frescoes adorn the ceilings and arches of a 19th-century church. A sultan&rsquo;s watchtower that harks back to a time of gunpowder and cannon-fire is now a serene spot from which to view the tranquil backwaters. For a taste of Mangalore&rsquo;s vibrant living culture, there&rsquo;s spicy seafood and crispy ginger-laced snacks; plus, the thrill of kayaking past mangroves and whooping birdlife on the twisting Nandini River.

Mormugao, located in the picturesque state of Goa, is a coastal gem that entices visitors with its unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and colonial charm. Nestled along the Arabian Sea, Mormugao boasts pristine sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture as you explore the quaint villages, ancient temples, and Portuguese-era architecture. Indulge in the mouthwatering flavors of Goan cuisine, known for its fusion of Indian and Portuguese influences. Whether you&#39;re seeking relaxation on the sun-kissed shores or an adventure in the lush hinterlands, Mormugao offers a captivating experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Explore Mumbai, the home of Bollywood and the dizzying commercial capital of India. Known as the city of dreams, Mumbai offers exhilarating experiences. Formerly known as Bombay, this city of temples where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, is home to extraordinary UNESCO treasures including the Elephanta and Ellora Caves, Agra Fort, and the Red Fort Complex. Overland journeys may be arranged to the exquisite Taj Mahal and the 2019-inscribed Jaipur Rajasthan, known also as the Pink City and revered for its colonnaded City Palace complex with royal gardens and courtyards.

Located in the northernmost part of Oman&#39;s Musandam Peninsula, Khasab is a hidden gem that beckons travelers who have a taste for off the beaten track adventure. Far from the tourist trail, Khasab is the Middle East at its most authentic; think stunning natural beauty and eons upon eons of cultural charm. Embark on an unforgettable dhow cruise along the majestic fjords of Musandam and sail past towering cliffs and turquoise waters, to really soak up the breathtaking scenery and see why this destination is interestingly and locally known as the “Norway of the East”. For the more adventurous, try one of the mountain hikes that wind through the rugged terrain. Those of you who do make the effort will be well rewarded with stunning vistas of the surrounding landscapes and azure waters. These same waters are rife with marine life; playful dolphins thrive here as does the panoramic underwater life that feed on the coral reefs.

Abu Dhabi is a bustling city with extraordinary sky scrapers, wide, tree-lined boulevards, and some of the most elite cultural destinations. This city is considered the wealthiest city in the world, but still retains a humble charm with its central souk and artisan hub for traditional crafts.

Home to the world&#39;s biggest shopping mall, tallest skyscraper, and dozens of ultra-glamourous luxury hotels, Dubai is truly a modern wonder. After exploring the new sites of the city, find yourself amongst traditional winding souks and local charm.

Fujairah boasts a fascinating past while looking forward to an ambitious and forward-looking future. The port served as a vital trade center for centuries due to its strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe and as such it is steeped in traditions, as shown by the well-preserved Al Bidya Mosque, one of the UAE&#39;s oldest. Today, Fujairah welcomes travelers with a blend of modernity and heritage. The city&#39;s main highlights include the Fujairah Fort, a majestic structure dating back to the 16th century, and the Fujairah Museum, which offers a glimpse into the region&#39;s history and culture. Beyond its historical treasures, Fujairah boasts pristine beaches, making it a popular destination for water sports and relaxation. The Hajar Mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop for hiking and exploration.

Situated on a striking cove on the Gulf of Oman, ringed by striking volcanic mountains and guarded by two ancient Portuguese forts, diminutive Muscat is the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.

Like a magic carpet spread before the sea, Oman&#39;s coastal plain is one of the most fertile areas of Arabia. Famous since antiquity as the source of frankincense, Salalah was already a prosperous town when Marco Polo visited it in the 13th century! Inland rise the forbidding Al-Quara Mountains, and the desolate &quot;Empty Quarter&quot; of central Saudi Arabia.

As the most historic port in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah is packed full of cultural riches. Apart from being the gateway to Mecca, the city is famous for being the burial place of Eve, the mother of humanity. Although the city today buzzes with modernity, the past is very much present, largely thanks to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Old Jeddah where you can stroll the streets lined with beautiful and traditional 19th century architecture.

Carved into a rock facade, Petra is an ancient archeological city and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the southwestern desert of Jordan. Situated at the top of its namesake gulf, Aqaba brings a refreshing release from the rose-colored desert to the north. Its sandy beaches and coral reefs are the most pristine on the Red Sea, and Jordanians hope to preserve them through careful planning. Beyond the modernity of Aqaba itself, the UNESCO treasure of Petra – an ancient rock-carved Nabataean city once lost to the Western world – and the wonders of the Wadi Rum await discovery.

The main town, also called Lipari, is both charming and historic, with a largely reconstructed Norman church and a fine archeological museum and park.

Lipari was a Carthaginian naval base during the first Punic War, fell to Roman forces in 251 BC, and saw a 1544 visit by Barbarossa. His ransack of the town prompted the addition of massive city walls atop the ancient Greek acropolis. Since the 9th century, the island was also a favorite target of pirates, whose raids sent residents scurrying to the protective walls of the acropolis. Today, all is quiet on the Aeolian front, with the only raids being that of friendly visitors on the hunt for souvenirs or descending on beautiful Ponente Beach for an afternoon in the sun.

We may share the personal data we collect with other Supplier Partners and Service Providers. We only share personal data that enable our Supplier Partners to provide their services. We work with carefully selected Service Providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf, including for example, companies that help us with our technology services, storing and combining data, and processing payments. We only share personal data that enable our Service Providers to effectively provide their services. When we share personal data with these companies we require them store and process it securely, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

We may also need to share personal data with other organisations in certain circumstances:

if the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data;

if we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing credit risk);

to an organisation we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we may have with you. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your personal data in the same way as us; or

to any other successors in title to our business.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area “EEA”). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our Service Providers, such as airlines, hoteliers, insurance companies and ground handling agents so they can provide you the arrangements you require.

In order for you to travel overseas, we may be required to disclose certain of your personal data to government bodies or other authorities in Cyprus and in other countries, such as those responsible for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism. Even if it is not mandatory for us to provide information to such authorities, we may exercise our discretion to assist them where appropriate.

The protection and safe-guarding of your personal data is very important to us and we implement various security safeguards to protect your data, including:

Regular reviews of our processes for collecting, storing and processing your personal data.

Restricting access to your personal data to authorised users. This includes the use of physical security measures.

However, whilst we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the internet to us.

We will send you relevant news and offers about our products and services in a number of ways, including by email, but only if you have previously agreed to receive these marketing communications or have engaged with us in a service provision way. When you register with us on our Website, we will ask you if you would like to receive marketing communications. When you engage with a travel consultant, they will also ask you if you would like to receive marketing communications. You can change your marketing choices over the phone with your consultant or by unsubscribing from our emails at any time.
