Itinerary

Singapore is a vision of green innovation and cultural diversity. Stroll beneath towering Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, then step into heritage districts like Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Visit the serene Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO site rich with orchids, or marvel at Marina Bay Sands and its shimmering skyline. From hawker stalls serving Michelin-starred bites to elegant gourmet dining, Singapore is a city that embraces the future while cherishing its roots.

With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration. Against a backdrop of endless blue, indulge in a varied programme of wellness, dining and entertainment, enriching the mind and indulging the senses, designed to satisfy even the most curious of minds. These moments at sea offer a rare chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.

Phú Mỹ opens the door to Ho Chi Minh City's dynamic contrasts and the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta. In the city, Ben Thanh Market hums with energy, historic landmarks tell wartime stories and buzzing streets brim with life. At the Củ Chi Tunnels, step into Vietnam's wartime history, or drift through the Mekong Delta past stilt houses, coconut groves and floating markets. It's a journey of culture, resilience and riverside calm.

Golden shores and turquoise seas make Nha Trang, Vietnam's beloved beach capital. Stroll the lively Trần Phú promenade or explore the ancient Po Nagar Cham Towers, a testament to the region's Hindu heritage. Climb to the giant White Buddha at Long Sơn Pagoda for sweeping city views, then dive into the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, home to colourful reefs and abundant marine life. Nha Trang is relaxation and discovery woven together by sea and sun.

Da Nang is a gateway to central Vietnam's treasures. South lies lantern-lit Hội An, a UNESCO World Heritage gem of merchant houses and riverside beauty, while north lies Huế, the former imperial capital crowned by moated citadels and royal tombs. Just beyond the city, the Marble Mountains rise with caves and shrines offering sweeping views of coast and countryside. Da Nang itself blends sandy beaches, cultural heritage and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Hong Kong pulses with energy, where futuristic skyscrapers meet timeless tradition. Ascend Victoria Peak for sweeping views of its iconic skyline and glittering harbour, then ride the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to the serene Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island. Glide through Aberdeen fishing village aboard a sampan to witness a rare floating community, a glimpse of Hong Kong's heritage amid its ever‑changing modern rhythm.

Shanghai dazzles with its harmony of tradition and modernity. Along The Bund, grand colonial facades gaze across the river to futuristic towers like the twisting Shanghai Tower. In the old city, Yu Garden offers quiet Ming-era beauty, while the nearby bazaar buzzes with crafts and steaming dumplings. Beyond the city, Zhujiajiao's canals and stone bridges evoke China's historic waterways. From glittering skyscrapers to timeless alleys, Shanghai is a city forever reinventing itself while holding onto its soul.
