Oceania & the Far East
An eclectic mix of scenic wonders and Eastern experiences finishing with a flourish during two nights in elegant Bali. Exploring a string of idyllic islands, you can take in the scenic bays of Thailand; marvel at the world’s largest Buddhist temple; uncover the natural beauty of Indonesia’s active volcanoes, lush countryside and rice plantations; encounter fascinating Komodo dragons; and indulge in High Tea at Singapore’s Raffles Hotel.
Borobudur Singapore
Bali
From the Thai island of Phuket, where you’ll have time to relax on the idyllic beaches or perhaps experience stunning scenery during a speedboat ride to Phang Nga Bay, you’ll head to Weh Island for your first glimpse of Indonesia’s spectacular island scenes. Weh’s lush, jungle smothered interiors are ripe for exploration by boat, though many visitors stick to the coast to unwind on the white sands or snorkel the warm clear waters in the hope of spotting delightful marine creatures, such as manta rays, whale sharks, dolphins and sea turtles.
For a quick change of pace, Boudicca will then divert to Singapore, offering a contrasting experience to your island adventures. With its soaring skyscrapers and vibrant city life, Singapore is Asia at its most modern. With an overnight stay you’ll have time to explore the bustling Financial and Chinatown districts; visit the gorgeous Gardens by the Bay, with its fragrant flora from around the globe; and even enjoy High Tea at the iconic Raffles Hotel.
Semarang, a fascinating city situated on the picturesque north coast of Java, will welcome you
back to Indonesia. Not-to-be-missed here is the sensational Borobudur Temple. Built in the 8th 9th
and centuries by the Sailendra Dynasty, UNESCO-
listed Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple and famed for its bell-shaped stupas and awe-inspiring volcanic surroundings.
A wonderland of volcanic scenery awaits you at Lombok Island, the home of Gunung Rinjani – Indonesia’s second highest volcano – too. During a day in Lembar, you could opt for a tour to Gunung Rinjani and marvel at the vast crater lakes and bubbling hot springs. Alternatively, head to one of Lombok’s many white-sand beaches – you’ll soon understand why this gorgeous island is popular with sun-worshippers and surfers. Finally, after a chance to see endemic Komodo Dragons – the world’s largest lizards – in their extraordinary UNESCO-listed natural habitat on Komodo Island, you’ll head to beautiful Bali. The remarkable Ubud rice terraces and an abundance of ancient temples are just some of the many attractions you could discover, if you choose to leave the inviting, sun-soaked beaches of Benoa behind.
