the Australian state of Queensland. Today, the unofficial capital of this archipelago is Thursday Island, originally called “Waiben” (believed to mean “no water”) by the Melanesians but today known locally as “TI.” Immerse yourself in the island’s cultural mix of Asian, European, and Pacific Island influences at the Gab Titui Cultural Centre. At Green Hill Fort, built as a defense against Russian invasion and later a World War II military base, admire military artifacts and splendid views, as well as exhibits that pay homage to the island’s history as a major pearling center.


AT Sea Aboard The Gauguin, you may be as active or relaxed as you wish. If you’re in the mood for getting your cardio on, perfect. In addition to the ship’s fitness center, where you can break a sweat with Lifecycles, treadmills, stairclimbers, and weight machines, Les Gauguines are ready to get your pulse pounding with a morning mile-long walk around Decks 8 and 9, and sunrise Polynesian-inspired Zumba classes.


Be sure to reward yourself with a spa indulgence, a dip in the pool, and/ or(preferably and) a smoothie or your favorite beverage from the Pool Bar.


Dili After achieving independence from Indonesia in 2002, the relatively new country of Timor-Leste is coming into its own. Portuguese influence can still be felt and seen in the architecture and culture. On the northern coast of the former East Timor, the capital city of Dili is still a


sleepy colonial town—on the cusp of discovery by Westerners. Right now is the perfect time to visit.


Unquestionably, the pride of the Timorese is the 88-foot-tall statue of Cristo Rei (the world’s second-tallest statue of Jesus). In town, you’ll find an array of goods, including local handicrafts at the Dili Tais Market. The city also boasts a number of fine beaches and excellent diving and snorkeling.


AT Sea If you haven’t yet attended a lecture or entertainment event hosted by one of the special guests, don’t miss Nobel Peace Prize Winner John Hay, singer Angie Lang, distinguished aviation expert Dan Hagedorn and his presentations on WWII history on the April 29, 2017, voyage. Listen to distinguished Professor of Geography David Keeling, and enjoy performances from magicians ¿QUÉ BOLÁ? on the June 7, 2017, sailing.


Komodo Island There are dragons here. They may not fly or belch fire, but they are dragons nonetheless. The largest lizards on Earth take their name from this island, and they have their own national park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.


The Komodo Trekking Tour offers the only opportunity to see Komodo Dragons. After a short briefing at the Tamarind Woods rangers’ station, keep an eye open for these dappled giants as you approach Banuggulung, a former Komodo feeding ground, in the company of an expert guide who will provide further insight into the life of these unique and fascinating creatures.

Lembar, Lombok


Island The island of Lombok embodies true Indonesian beauty, where clear azure waves gently lap at golden shores, plush forests cradle skyrocketing peaks, and a patchwork of emerald rice paddy fields delights the eye and invites a closer look. The quiet town of Lembar is the main port, where the easy lifestyle celebrates centuries-old traditions. In contrast to the bustle of Bali, Lombok is not overcrowded with tourists.


Lombok becomes even more magical at sunset, when Mother Nature pulls out all the stops with a brilliant palette of intense oranges, blues, violets, reds, and yellows. After dark, bioluminescent plankton glitter in the water like precious gemstones.


Benoa, Bali Just saying the word “Bali” conjures images of magical journeys, ancient temples, and tales of gods and goddesses. Truly a world away, Bali is all this and so much more. From cities teeming with motorbikes to the serenity of terraced rice paddy fields, the island is steeped in tradition, culture, and art. The bustling port of Benoa lifts the veil of this wonderland—and is the perfect place for your voyage of discovery to begin or end.
