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.

Phu Quoc is a tropical sanctuary of soft beaches, coral reefs and lush rainforest. Snorkel vibrant underwater gardens, kayak through mangrove forests or hike trails rich in wildlife. Visit pepper plantations and fish sauce workshops to discover local traditions that sustain the island's culture. As the sun sets over a calm Gulf of Thailand horizon, Phu Quoc reveals itself as a rare blend of nature, craftsmanship and serene island life.

Sihanoukville blends lively coastal culture with tropical beauty. The bustling Phsar Leu Market teems with fresh produce and handcrafted goods, while Wat Leu Pagoda offers sweeping views over the town and sea. For nature lovers, Ream National Park lies nearby, its mangroves, jungles and quiet beaches rich with wildlife from playful otters to rare birds. Sihanoukville is both a gateway to Cambodia's unspoiled islands and a snapshot of everyday life along the Gulf of Thailand.

From Laem Chabang, Bangkok's dazzling contrasts await. Visit the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home to the revered Emerald Buddha, or cross the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun, shimmering in the morning light. Explore canals on a traditional long-tail boat or wander vibrant markets brimming with spices and silks. Just beyond the city, UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya tells the story of Thailand's ancient royal capital, where ruined temples and palaces stand as timeless reminders of past grandeur.

Koh Samui blends island beauty with cultural spirit. At the Big Buddha Temple, a towering golden statue gazes over turquoise seas, while palm-fringed beaches and coconut groves frame relaxed coastal living. Offshore, Ang Thong National Marine Park dazzles with limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and pristine reefs, perfect for kayaking, snorkelling and hiking. Back on land, small villages and plantations reveal the island's roots as the "Coconut Island",offering a slower pace and warm hospitality.

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.

Langkawi enchants with turquoise seas, lush rainforest and dramatic peaks. Cruise the mangroves of Kilim Geoforest Park, a UNESCO treasure where eagles soar and limestone cliffs rise over emerald waterways. Ride the cable car up Mount Mat Cincang, then walk the Sky Bridge suspended high above the jungle canopy. Down by the waterfront, Eagle Square celebrates the island's spirit of freedom. Langkawi is a natural haven for adventure, photography and serene island living.

Port Kelang opens the door to Kuala Lumpur's striking mix of tradition and modernity. Towering over the skyline, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers symbolise the city's bold ambition, while nearby Batu Caves - a sacred Hindu site - offers vivid shrines within soaring limestone caverns. In Chinatown, market stalls and temples buzz with life, revealing Kuala Lumpur's rich cultural fabric. From modern architecture to ancient devotion, Kuala Lumpur invites exploration in every direction.

Malacca reveals centuries of trade and cultural fusion in every street. Dutch Square's crimson buildings recall a colonial past, while Jonker Street hums with antique shops, museums and lively night markets. Along the Malacca River - once a vital trade route - colourful murals and restored warehouses line the banks. From spicy street food to centuries-old temples and mosques, Malacca is a vibrant blend of heritage, flavour and charm, all wrapped in a relaxed riverside atmosphere.

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.
