Fly to Bangkok where you’ll embark Voyager. Discover dazzling temples, gleaming palaces and bustling markets as you explore the ‘Land of a Thousand Smiles’. Marvel at tropical gardens and delve into Arab, Malay, Chinese and colonial culture in Singapore before arrival at Port Kelang, your gateway to Southeast Asia’s youngest capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Bangkok’s Grand Palace is set around open lawns, gardens and courtyards, while Singapore’s newest attraction, the Gardens by the Bay, is a lush tropical paradise. Idyllic beaches, palm trees and crystal-clear waters are yours to discover in Langkawi and Phuket, and you’re greeted by the palm-fringed coastline of Port Blair, floating in splendid isolation in India’s Bay of Bengal.
Enjoy Voyager’s facilities during two days at sea before reaching your next port of call the Pearl of the Orient, beautiful Sri Lanka. Here you’ll find Portuguese, Dutch and British influences in its vibrant capital, Colombo, and meet the elephants at the world-renowned Pinnawala orphanage.
The backwaters of Kerala make Cochin a unique city, and the lush paddy fields and silver-sand beaches of Marmagao are as colourful as its rich history. Your final port of call is bustling Mumbai, the city formerly known as Bombay where grand architecture, ancient bazaars and a host of natural wonders vie for your attention.
