From Continental classics, Aquamar Vitality Cuisine and wellness-inspired dishes at The Grand Dining Room to authentic Italian cuisine at Toscana to perfectly prepared steaks and seafood at Polo Grill, the options are nearly endless. Of course, a voyage of this scope must take full advantage of the opportunity to celebrate world cuisines, so a host of special events will create delightful opportunities to savour delicious local fare. Enjoy delectable Burmese and Thai favourites at Terrace Café while sailing the Andaman Sea or a colourful Bollywood night as you cruise the Laccadive Sea.

Overnight DE S T I N AT ION H IGH L IGH TS BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA 1 OVERNIGHT 31 JANUARY-1 FEBRUARY 2024

Auckland

If asked to imagine paradise, the image that comes to mind likely resembles Bora Bora. The scent of vanilla and frangipani welcomes you to this incredibly photogenic locale that is beautiful from any vantage point, whether you’re lying on a beach, bobbing on a boat or standing atop a hillside overlook. The landscape is dominated by two peaks – Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia – both more than 2,000 feet high. Take amazing photos as you cruise around Bora Bora’s dazzling lagoon, go snorkelling to discover the brightly coloured marine life or head off on an exciting off-road adventure across the island.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND 1 OVERNIGHT | 12-13 FEBRUARY 2024

The Maori name for Auckland roughly translates to “city of many lovers” – named for the myriad cultures that have loved this place. Sailing past picturesque islands as the city skyline comes into focus, you also will become one of its many lovers. Partake in urban adventures at museums and cultural sites in New Zealand’s most cosmopolitan city, or experience spectacular landscapes from luminescent caves to working sheep farms to rugged beaches that host raucous gannet colonies. Wherever you find yourself, when it’s time to eat, the region’s rich farmlands provide the freshest of ingredients and award-winning wines.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA 1 OVERNIGHT | 2 2-2 3 FEBRUARY 2024

Like all great cities, Sydney has many iconic sights worthy of your attention, from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House to Bondi Beach. But don’t stop there. Around every corner is a fascinating neighbourhood, hidden garden or

Bali

unique museum waiting to be added to the reasons that this city enchants you. Though not as grand as the Royal Botanic Garden, Wendy’s Secret Garden offers lovely views of the harbour in a tranquil setting. And while it may not be comparable to the massive Art Gallery of NSW, the White Rabbit Gallery boasts one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art.

BALI (BENOA), INDONESIA 1 OVERNIGHT | 8 -9 M ARCH 2024

Breathtaking Bali is an interesting mix of modern and traditional culture. Once a remote destination that could be reached only with a fair amount of effort, the island has become a haven for serenity seekers from around the world. Part of its draw is spiritual – there are gorgeous Hindu temples throughout the island, and the town of Ubud in particular has become a centre for yoga practitioners. But there’s also quite a vibrant nightlife scene in Kuta, and the surfing is top-notch. For a special treat, hire a guide and visit the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage site that demonstrates how harmoniously man and nature can interact.

TOKYO, JAPAN 1 OVERNIGHT | 24 -2 5 M ARCH 2024

Tokyo perfectly combines reverence for tradition with cutting-edge technology and culture, so you’ll want to visit the ancient shrines and formal gardens as well as the modern Tokyo Tower that soars above it all. You can expect to encounter a lot of people in a city of millions, but you can also find quiet spots in which to relax, such as lovely Ueno Park. If the cherry blossoms are in bloom, even the parks will be bustling with viewing parties known as hanami, so your best bet is to put on your walking shoes and join the throng. Visit the temple, eat the sushi, sing the karaoke, buy the kimono and embrace this fascinating city.

1 OVERNIGHT | 27-28 M ARCH 2024

1 OVERNIGHT | 7- 8 APRIL 2024

1 OVERNIGHT | 12-13 APRIL 2024

Packed with 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, Japan’s compelling imperial capital of Kyoto is less than 50 miles from the port of Kobe, which is also close to other wonderful sights. The more ancient imperial capital of Nara has its own share of UNESCO sites nearby, while the gilded tigers adorning Osaka Castle can be found even closer to the port. Kobe itself also has plenty to offer, from parks and museums to chic restaurants serving the city’s succulent namesake beef. Whether you enjoy a traditional tea ceremony performed by geishas in Kyoto or go for a hike on Mount Rokko outside Kobe, you’ll experience some of Japan’s greatest icons.

Only in Hong Kong can you wander through a magical flower tunnel hidden in a housing complex, ride the world’s longest escalator, stand at the base of the world’s tallest seated bronze Buddha and visit a model of Noah’s Ark. In fact, you’ll find yourself uttering “only in Hong Kong” a lot, whether scaling an impossibly steep hillside on a funicular tramway to Victoria Peak, dining on dim sum at one of the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants or perusing goldfish at the Tung Choi Street Goldfish Market. Start the day by getting fitted for a tailored cashmere suit and end it by shopping for luxury brand knockoffs at the Ladies’ Market.

In Chan May you’re ideally situated between centuries of history dating to the Nguyen dynasty in Hue and the modern tumult of the 20th century in Da Nang. The vast Complex of Hue Monuments follows the natural beauty of the Perfume River from a walled imperial city to ornate temples and tombs. This UNESCO site offers a look at Vietnam before the 20th century, but you’ll also see evidence of the Vietnam War in the bombed remains of the Forbidden Purple City. That time in history is more evident in Da Nang, where you can tour a replica of Ho Chi Minh’s residence and peek through bullet holes left from the war in the caves of the Marble Mountains.

SHANGHAI, CHINA

1 OVERNIGHT | 10 -11 APRIL 2024

2 OVERNIGHTS | 2- 4 APRIL 2024

Exploring the streets and neighbourhoods of Hanoi, you’ll find the city’s tumultuous past and enduring spirit everywhere. Standing in front of the French Colonial architecture of the opera house and St. Joseph’s Cathedral inspired by Notre Dame, you will feel like you are in Paris instead of Southeast Asia. Then Vietnam’s culture unfolds in the 11th-century architecture of the Imperial Citadel and Temple of Literature and in Ba Dinh Square, where Ho Chi Minh read the Proclamation of Independence in 1945. Equally unforgettable is the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay, an amazing UNESCO-listed landscape dotted with hundreds of limestone islands.

Standing on The Bund gazing across the Huangpu River to a forest of skyscrapers, it will be hard to believe that a few decades ago there was barely a building over 10 stories here. While the global economy has transformed Shanghai’s skyline, you can still find history and culture during a quiet moment in the 16th-century Yuyuan Garden. Or try shopping for yixing teapots, jade and 3D kitten photos and savouring pan-fried dumplings and scallion pancakes in the Old City. For the hip and modern, head to M50, a collection of factories and cotton mills that have been turned into galleries, and view works of established and emerging Chinese artists.

HANOI (HA LONG BAY), VIETNAM

SAIGON (HO CHI MINH CITY), VIETNAM 1 OVERNIGHT | 15 -16 APRIL 2024

A lot has changed since the iconic evacuation photos were taken during the fall of Saigon in 1975 – including its name, Ho Chi Minh City. Nowhere is the evolution more obvious than when you view the city from the 81st-floor observation deck of Vietnam’s tallest building. Still, Ho Chi Minh City retains its unique culture and wears its battle scars with honour. You’ll experience this in the elaborate French Colonial architecture and grand arches of the 19th-century post office as well as the Cu Chi Tunnels built during the war. Explore Vietnam’s history in the fascinating museums and pagodas, and watch modern life unfold in bustling markets. 2024 | AROUND THE WORLD IN 180 DAYS | 33


Overnight DE S T I N AT ION H IGH L IGH TS BANGKOK, THAILAND 1 OVERNIGHT | 18 -19 APRIL 2024

Ayutthaya, available from Bangkok

Bangkok has fabulous streets in which to get lost – and to eat. As you explore, notice what is missing as well as what’s there, for you’ll find a distinct absence of ancient relics and European colonial influence. At the Grand Palace you may detect an occasional Western flourish, but this royal compound undeniably salutes the craftsmanship and creativity of Thailand. Staring at the almost 15-foot foot of a massive gold Buddha in the young city’s oldest temple, you’ll note that it dates only to the 18th century. To explore ancient history, visit Bangkok’s excellent museums or travel north to the ruins of Ayutthaya, the historic capital of Siam.

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE 1 OVERNIGHT | 2 2-2 3 APRIL 2024

Discover the delightful diversity of Singapore, from charming Chinatown to colourful Little India to Arab Street and the massive Sultan Mosque. Learn about the many Asian cultures that have influenced Singapore at The Asian Civilisations Museum, which houses one of the most comprehensive pan-Asian collections in the region. Gaze at 20,000 beautiful blooms in the National Orchid Garden and observe nocturnal creatures in their natural habitat on the unique night safari. For a historical perspective, visit the Kranji War Memorial and the Changi Chapel and Museum, dedicated to those who lost their lives during World War II.

YANGON, MYANMAR 2 OVERNIGHTS | 28 -30 APRIL 2024

Formerly known as Rangoon, Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar and yet retains an old-school feel that is rare for a city of millions. You’ll find more quaint colonial buildings than slick skyscrapers, and its most famous structure – the heavenly Shwedagon Pagoda – is about 2,600 years old. Beyond that

Jerusalem

golden icon, the gilded Sule and Botataung pagodas are also worth visiting. To get an authentic feel for the entire city, the Yangon Circular Railway makes a three-hour loop around town and gives you the chance to rub elbows – literally – with the locals. When you need to refuel, try a bowl of mohinga, a delicious fish soup with rice noodles.

MUMBAI, INDIA 1 OVERNIGHT | 7- 8 M AY 2024

India’s largest city, Mumbai is home to 20 million people, seemingly all on the go. A good place to start your visit is the Gateway of India, an arch monument built for England’s King George and Queen Mary in 1924 that has become an iconic symbol of the city. After that, your senses may kick into overdrive – from the bright flowers and fragrant incense used in daily Hindu rituals to the constant thrum of traffic and rush of pedestrians on busy streets. But there’s always somewhere to slow down, like the seaside promenade of Marine Drive or even an air-conditioned movie theatre, where you can take in a locally produced Bollywood production.

DUBAI, UAE 1 OVERNIGHT | 12-13 M AY 2024

As Dubai has carved its place in the vast desert as a glittering tribute to all that money can buy, you may find it hard to believe that the city’s skyline had only a few modest high-rises as recently as the 1990s. After learning about the monumental journey from fishing village to international symbol of opulence at the Dubai Museum, discover for yourself what all the fuss is about in this city of superlatives. Ride the world’s longest elevator to the top of the world’s tallest building, shop in the world’s largest mall, ski the world’s first indoor black-diamond run or lounge on a white sand beach on the world’s largest artificial island.

Long before bucket lists, there was Luxor, the site of the ancient city of Thebes and a breathtaking monument to the awesome power and wealth of Egyptian pharaohs during the 16th to the 11th centuries BC. As you stand in a 50,000-square-foot hall at the base of columns towering over 80 feet, your size and place in this ancient world will not be difficult to determine. For a humbler take on life in the desert, travel to a Bedouin settlement to sip tea, break bread and learn about this nomadic culture, or spend the day relaxing on the Red Sea Riviera, where travellers flock for some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world.

With broad boulevards, big skies and intriguing architecture competing for your eye at every turn, Barcelona is a city unlike any other. The streets beg to be walked, as you can amble through the centuries with a stroll from the narrow medieval alleyways of the Gothic Quarter to the modern heart of La Rambla. Along this wide, tree-lined promenade, experience the full gamut of Catalonian culture, from whimsical Gaudí homes to tapas bars to street performers to bustling La Boqueria market. You’ll also discover natural escapes nearby if you simply climb the hill to Park Güell, where you’ll see more of Gaudí’s unmistakable imprint on the city.

Along a curve in the Garonne River rises the iconic 18th-century architecture of Bordeaux, a brilliant unity of medieval roots, neoclassical style and urban planning so remarkably revitalised that half the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. Stroll through this divine cityscape defined by its parchment-coloured buildings and wide-open squares, the largest of which is the 30-acre Esplanade de Quinconces. The only thing that could draw you outside of a city this gorgeous would be wine regions as revered as Médoc and Saint-Émilion and the elegant countryside châteaux where you can taste these renowned vintages.

1 OVERNIGHT | 29 -30 JUNE 2024

While the majority of the population is Jewish, Haifa is a diverse melting pot of cultures and faiths. Consider the German Colony, established in the 1800s by German Templars and now a prime tourist area thanks to its excellent restaurants and view of the Bahá'í Gardens. Nearby is Stella Maris Monastery, a beautiful Catholic abbey. Likewise, you’ll find historic sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims if you travel south to Jerusalem, one of the world’s holiest cities and home to treasures such as the Dome of the Rock, Western Wall, Damascus Gate, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and more. Prepare for ample walking and amazement.

You’ll easily fall in love with Seville. The city is just right – big enough to have lots to do but small enough to feel intimate, with enough visitors to be tourist-friendly without being a tourist trap. Get lost in the winding streets of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, or let your eyes skim the residential rooftops as you sip a glass of wine on the balcony of the Metropol Parasol – known locally as Las Setas, or “the mushrooms” – a modern structure built above ancient Roman and Moorish ruins. Be sure you also make time for Seville Cathedral, a beloved centre of worship in this heavily Catholic region, and of course, the famed Alcázar palace.

Although it’s one of the smallest capitals in the world, Reykjavik is home to two-thirds of Iceland’s population, making it the ideal place to immerse yourself in the local culture. The city exists in harmony with the strikingly beautiful landscapes surrounding it, reflected in places such as the botanical gardens, the Reykjavik Art Museum and the Reykjavik Maritime Museum. Experience the majestic countryside firsthand with a day trip to Geysir – an erupting hot spring – and the nearby waterfall of Gullfoss. For a different sort of adventure, try some harkarl – fermented shark – or play it safe and stick with traditional Icelandic fish stew.

NEW ZEALAND’S SOUTHERN GRANDEUR 1 NIGHT | 18 FEBRUARY 2024 DUNEDIN TO MILFORD SOUND

Although relatively short, this adventure is long on scenic beauty, beginning with a jaw-dropping drive through Fiordland National Park. The mesmerising sights continue underground in Te Anau’s twisting limestone caves, which a sea of glowworms illuminates. For the ultimate sky-high view of Queenstown, take the gondola to the summit of Bob’s Peak, and cruise to a high-country homestead aboard a vintage steamship for a taste of farm life. An inspired wine tasting and strolling about historic Arrowtown and Scottish-influenced Dunedin are equally gratifying.

Opposites attract. Imagine spending the morning at a koala sanctuary and the evening enjoying tastings at an oasis-like winery. Alluring, yes? The North Territory’s desert yields even more contrasting experiences. Delight in a pyrotechnic sunrise over Uluru, a monolithic rock that becomes a silhouette at night as 50,000 coloured lights illuminate the surrounding terrain. This is Aboriginal land, a fact that becomes wonderfully evident as you examine ancient rock art, learn about bush tucker foods and explore Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the ancestral land of the indigenous Anangu.

No stone is left unturned on this exploration, including monolithic Ayers Rock, which the Aboriginals hold sacred and call Uluru. Watch it change colours at sunrise. Walk in its shadow while viewing the ancient rock art that the Anangu people created there. Behold Uluru looming in the distance during a magical evening light show as 50,000 bulbs illuminate the landscape. Port Douglas also beckons with the irresistible lure of seeing koalas in a wildlife habitat and walking through a rainforest with an indigenous Kuku Yalanji guide.

Spend leisure time as you please at a riverside resort in the Mekong Delta, and then rise with the sun to cruise the labyrinthine waterways that lead to the iconic Cai Be Floating Market.

The limelight shines solely on Luang Prabang on this rare, in-depth exploration of Laos’ ancient capital. Each moment, regardless of the hour, is maximised. Rise at dawn to watch hundreds of orange-robed monks collect alms from the faithful. See a pyrotechnic sunset over the serpentine Mekong River as a prelude to strolling through the atmospheric night market. Contemplate the essence of Buddhism at Wat Mai and the beauty of nature at Kuang Si waterfall. Delve into Laotian history at the National Museum that occupies the former royal palace.

SIMPLY ANGKOR WAT 2 NIGHTS | 16 APRIL 2024 HO CHI MINH CIT Y TO BANGKOK

So spectacular that it deserves your full attention, the Angkor Archaeological Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site of extraordinary cultural and symbolic importance. Water from annual monsoons dictated its rise and eventual collapse in the 15th century, which becomes evident by exploring the ruins, especially at the massive religious monument Angkor Wat deep in the Cambodian jungle. Similarly, the enormous stone faces at Angkor Thom and the fig tree-choked temples at Ta Prohm reveal other aspects of the ancient Khmer kingdom.

KHMER KALEIDOSCOPE & ANGKOR WAT 3 NIGHTS | 19 APRIL 2024 BANGKOK TO SINGAPORE

A study in contrasts, this experience presents the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970s juxtaposed with the glorious Buddhist temple complex Angkor Wat. See the infamous Killing Fields and a museum that chronicles the genocide of that time period. The glories of Khmer architecture take centre stage at the Royal Palace and the extravagant Silver Pagoda. Still, Angkor Wat is undeniably the highlight as this UNESCO World Heritage site was the centre of the Khmer kingdom in the 9th through 15th centuries.

Optional M I D - C RU I SE OV E R L A N D PRO G R A M M E S ANCIENT TEMPLES OF BAGAN 1 NIGHT | 28 APRIL 2024 YANGON

Ananda Temple, available from Yangon

Gain insight into the religious devotion of Myanmar’s people by visiting temples from the 11th through 13th centuries that are representative of countless others. Ananda Temple is considered a masterpiece of Mon architecture, while Sulamani Temple displays some of Bagan’s finest ornamental work. The gold-plated Shwezigon Pagoda is an architectural gem so stunning that its design became the prototype for thousands of pagodas that followed. Bagan is also renowned for exquisite lacquerware and watching artisans create it using traditional methods is an eye-opener.

Empire. Options include the fanciful imperial city within Agra Fort, the Mughal capital Fatehpur Sikri and a mausoleum that inspired the Taj Mahal’s design. A delightful day in Delhi, shopping in Agra and a private astrological consultation add cultural texture.

AUTHENTIC INLE LAKE 1 NIGHT | 28 APRIL 2024 YANGON

Marvel at the extraordinary while cruising beautiful Inle Lake, which nestles between two mountain ranges in Myanmar. Curiosities along the way include a Buddhist temple whose monks have trained cats to jump through hoops and a pagoda with Buddha statues covered with so much gold that it obscures their original forms. Even the fishermen are unconventional, as they row with one leg to keep their hands free to manage their cone-shaped nets. Enjoy memorable encounters with residents belonging to the Intha tribe at a floating market.

TAJ MAHAL: THE ETERNAL MASTERPIECE 3 NIGHTS | 4 M AY 2024 COCHIN TO MUMBAI

Surrender to the mesmerising Taj Mahal, a symbol of eternal love and architectural splendour whose appearance changes chameleon-like as the day unfolds. Pale pink at dawn, it may look translucent blue at dusk when you gaze upon it again. Between visits, explore the wonders of the former Mughal

HIMALAYAN KINDGOM OF NEPAL 3 NIGHTS | 4 M AY 2024 COCHIN TO MUMBAI

Become immersed in the culture of Nepal, a country shaped in many ways by the snowcapped Himalayas. That backdrop looks especially dramatic while flying by iconic Mount Everest, yet the cities may be even more striking. Extraordinary stupas rise above Patan, Newari architecture graces Kathmandu and all of medieval Bhaktapur is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unusual cultural opportunities include an audience with a Kumari living goddess, watching an Aarti prayer offering at a Hindu temple and seeing how singing bowls are used to heal by sound.

THE JEWELS OF LUXOR

3 NIGHTS | 4 M AY 2024 COCHIN TO MUMBAI

1 NIGHT | 24 M AY 2024 SAFAGA

Revel in the contrast of exploring the pink-hued city of Jaipur and then travelling into the wilds of Ranthambore National Park to view indigenous species. First painted pink in 1876 as a sign of hospitality, Jaipur still delights with architectural treasures such as Amber Fort and its royal observatory, both extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage sites. Safari-style game drives through Ranthambore’s jungles and gorges present wonders of a different stripe as you may observe Bengal tigers, sloth bears and sambar, India’s largest native deer.

Explore a litany of fabled tombs in ancient Egypt’s royal burial grounds, beginning with the Karnak and Luxor temples, which a two-mile avenue lined with small sphinxes once connected. King Tut’s tomb still remains the most famous, as it held fabulous riches when excavated. His mummy is displayed there in a climate-controlled glass box. Queen Nefertari’s tomb nearby is renowned for its colourful wall paintings that have defied the ravages of time. Cruising the Nile in a traditional dahabeya boat allows time to reflect on the sights.

AJANTA & ELLORA CAVES 3 NIGHTS | 5 M AY 2024 M ANGALORE TO MUMBAI

Explore two UNESCO World Heritage site cave complexes, both hand-cut from solid rock to create religious sanctuaries. The 2nd-century-BC Ajanta Caves contain arguably the world’s most important Buddhist wall paintings. The colours are still vibrant, thanks to an infrared restoration process that removed centuries of grime. The Ellora Caves are noteworthy because their stone sanctuaries are devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, a clear illustration of ancient India’s religious tolerance. The enormous, heavily ornamented Kailasa temple there was carved from a single block of stone.

Ranthambore’s jungles, available from Cochin

LUXOR & THE PYRAMIDS 1 NIGHT | 24 M AY 2024 SAFAGA

If the temples and tombs in the Valley of the Kings aren’t enough to bedazzle your inner Egyptologist, the treasures awaiting in Cairo will be the tipping point. See monumental Luxor Temple, another temple that the only female pharaoh built and the Colossi of Memnon that stands sentinel over the valley’s sprawling necropolis. Priceless relics found in the tombs are displayed in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. The Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx make quite the finale.

1 NIGHT | 24 M AY 2024 SAFAGA

2 NIGHTS | 28 JUNE 2024 ISAFJORDUR TO REYKJAVIK

In Cairo, the past often seems more relevant than the present. Standing before the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza, the sole remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, is truly unforgettable. The nearby Sphinx is a wonder in its own right, as are the stunning artefacts from King Tut’s tomb now displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum. King Djoser’s well-preserved necropolis complex and Step Pyramid are time capsules, as well. Add visits to a medieval Islamic fortress and a 14th-century bazaar and come away even more enlightened.

Witness nature’s drama in the Land of Fire and Ice, a moniker that reflects Iceland’s volcanic forces and glacial wonders. Stand atop the rim of Grabrok Crater and behold the lava fields that a past eruption left in its wake. View one roaring waterfall after another, ranging from remote Dynjandi – the largest cascade in the Westfjords – to Glanni, a petite waterfall where elves and trolls supposedly live. Still, the ultimate experience is riding in a monster snow truck through the manmade ice tunnel that cuts through Langjokull Glacier.
