Cairns to Singapore
Overview
After another day at sea, we reach Indonesia. On the island of Komodo, get up close to the world’s largest lizard and snorkel with manta rays; two days in Benoa, Bali offers plenty of read more time for both thrilling water sports and tranquil temple visits; and further north in Celukan Bawang, visit volcanic black-sand beaches and beautiful waterfalls. We then have another two days at sea to relax and rejuvenate before arriving at our final destination, sultry Singapore.
Itinerary
A quaint frontier town, scenically located on Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, Cooktown is the site of Australia’s first European settlement.

Top Things to Do in Cooktown:
- take a historic cruise down the Endeavour River
- visit Black Mountain
- have a beer at the quirky Lion's Den Hotel
- visit the museum brimming with artifacts from Cook’s ship
A day at sea with Crystal can be as relaxed or as engaging as you wish. Begin with breakfast on your veranda, take a walk along the Promenade Deck or spend the morning by the Seahorse Pool before retreating to the Aurōra Spa & Salon for a restorative treatment. Enrichment is always close at hand, with lectures, bridge, creative workshops, dance classes, wellness sessions and opportunities to fine tune skills from photography to golf.
Dining is a highlight throughout the day, from relaxed bites by the pool to elegant dinners at venues such as Umi Uma by Nobu, Beefbar or Waterside. As evening arrives, enjoy live music, theatre entertainment, comedy, social gatherings, cocktails in the lounges or a quiet night in with 24-hour in-suite dining.
Many travelers will think of Darwin as the jumping-off point for The Kimberley, the port is, of course, the gateway to the Northern Territory’s famous 1,800-million-year-old red rocks, but Darwin has many other things to offer the day-tripper. Two of Australia’s most spectacular National Parks (Kakadu and Litchfield) are within an easy drive of the city, so even if you don’t want to get the full Kimberley experience, the ancient rock formations, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, jumping crocodiles and breathtaking gorges give a bite-sized version of the region’s natural diversity. If you prefer to stay in the city, expect a multicultural experience. Darwin is closer to Jakarta than Canberra, so local markets, cafes, and restaurants overflow with Asian influence.

The Southeast Asian city-state of Singapore may be compact (it takes under an hour to drive from one end of the island to the other), but it certainly isn’t short on excitement. Shop up a storm on the fashionable Orchard Road, discover vibrant street art and royal landmarks in Kampong Glam, soak up a heady aroma of spices in Little India, and find tranquility in one of the city’s many urban parks and gardens. Whatever you do, just be sure to make the most of mealtimes.
