Voyage Details

Port Details

Chennai (Madras), India

Chennai is a city both traditional and cosmopolitan, sprinkled with Hindu temples, the colonial remnants of the British Raj, and modern high-rises. Overlying it all is the rich Tamil culture, with an emphasis on the celebration of beauty in its many forms, the pinnacle of which is no doubt Mahabalipuram. On this stunning site between beach and lagoon are rock-cut temples and monoliths adorned with exquisite and intricate carvings depicting mythological themes; and bas reliefs like Arjuna’s Penance, where sculpted into two enormous rocks are beautifully rendered figures of animals, humans, and gods observing the descent of the holy river Ganges from the Himalayas.

Port Blair, Andaman Islands, India

This remote archipelago in the Indian Ocean is a territory of India, where in the late 18th century the British Raj established a naval base and penal colony. The islands are bright with brilliant tropical flora and deep green rainforests; white sand, palm-fringed beaches; and the pristine reefs that are the hallmarks of a tropical paradise.Crystal clear waters house some of the world’s least spoiled marine reserves, filled with fish in flashy outfits and a rainbow of corals. Those brilliant flashes in the sky are not a reflection—these isles are also a little slice of heaven for birdwatchers.

Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma)

This low-rise downtown consists of leafy avenues and quite a lot of colonial architecture, and makes for a small town feel despite a population of about six million.From almost anywhere you are in Yangon, you will see the great gilded dome of the Shwedagon Pagoda hovering over you protectively, and a visit will introduce you not only to one of the Asia’s great religious sites, but to the daily life of the Burmese people, who come often to make their devotions, but also to spend time with friends, or sit in quiet contemplation.Kipling called it a “golden mystery”, and it is indeed capable of casting a spell on all who visit.

Phuket, THAILAND

Floating in the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea, palm-fringed white-sand beaches encircling its lush green interior, Phuket is nirvana for water sports enthusiasts of all kinds, golfers seeking championship courses, and nature lovers who will be thrilled by the breathtaking scenery of Phang Nga Bay.Cruise this waterway amidst strangely shaped limestone karsts thrusting up from the water’s surface, and explore caves dressed to the nines in stalactites and stalagmites.If all that isn’t enough, try an elephant ride through the jungle, a soothing Thai massage, or a detour through stores and galleries in handsome old Chinese shophouses.

Port Klang (Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur is a rich mélange of cultures, set amidst the striking contrast of yesterday and tomorrow. The iconic 88-story Petronas Towers are the pride of the city, but architectural variety runs rampant around Independence Square, lined by the Sultan Abdul Samad Building of Moorish design, the Tudor-style Cricket Club, the Railway Station in a mix of East and West, and St. Mary’s Cathedral, in early English gothic.Because of its ethnic diversity, Malaysia offers a variety of cuisines, including an early version of Asian fusion: Peranakan or Nonya—the result of blending Chinese ingredients and wok cooking techniques with traditional Malay spices.

Singapore, Singapore

Chinese, Malay, and Indian traditions meld in this island-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The site of the world’s busiest port, Singapore offers the Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour mall and Sunte, the world’s largest fountain.Play evening golf on lighted fairways; experience the nightlife on Mohamed Sultan Road; or relax at an outdoor spa. Be certain not to miss the savory seafood.
