Day 2: Singapore

Welcome to Singapore, where tales of riches, romance, and vibrant trade come alive, from its spice trading origins to its transformation into one of Asia's greatest destinations. See the elegant mansions and lush polo greens that hint at its colonial past, and discover the enchanting mystique of Chinatown. Stroll along Arab Street, where the tantalizing aroma of spices lingers in the air, and world-class boutiques entice shopping.

Have you met Les Gauguins and Les Gauguines yet? The onboard hosts are ready to share their Polynesian culture, with Tahitian dance lessons, hands-on traditional craft demonstrations, and an array of activities for all ages. The day is yours to make what you do of it. Perhaps you’ll take in a lecture by one of the special guests or take part in cooking lessons with the executive chef. Or maybe you’ll unwind poolside or treat yourself to a visit to the Algotherm Spa… or why not both? A day at sea offers ample time to relax and plan your next adventure.

Day 5: Semarang, Indonesia

Nestled gracefully along the northern coastline of the magnificent Java island, Semarang emerges as an enchanting city that captures the essence of Indonesia's cultural tapestry. Serving as the captivating capital of Central Java province, Semarang is a vibrant hub where timeless heritage intertwines with dynamic progress, creating an inspiring fusion of the past and present. From its resplendent ancient temples to its bustling riverside promenades, Semarang beckons explorers to embark on a transformative journey, awakening the spirit of wanderlust and igniting a profound appreciation for the country's remarkable diversity.

In the heartland of Java, where the winds whisper tales of bravery and resilience, Surabaya stands tall as a city of extraordinary spirit and limitless possibilities.

Explore the historic Arab Quarter, immerse yourself in the vibrant street art scene of Jalan Tunjungan, savor the tantalizing flavors of traditional Javanese cuisine, or witness the breathtaking sunset from the iconic Suramadu Bridge. Surabaya awaits, ready to inspire and unveil the extraordinary in every step of your journey.

Between the islands of Sumbawa and Florès, Komodo National Park welcomes you to discover its natural wonders. At the very heart of the Indonesian archipelago, the three islands that form it – Komodo, Rinca, and Padar - owe their renown to the famous eponymous dragons, enormous lizards over two meters long, which live in its grassy savannah. This jagged and hilly volcanic territory belonging to the Sunda Islands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its incredible terrestrial and marine biodiversity.

Day 12: Dili, Timor Leste

The capital of Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) — one of the youngest countries in the world — Dili is still a sleepy colonial town … but also one that is modernizing rapidly. If you’re feeling energetic, you might climb the 580 steps to the Cristo Rei, the world's second-largest statue of Christ the King. Stroll the waterfront in the colonial heart of town.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
