Grand Voyage: South East Asia, Papua New Guinea & Australia’s East Coast

This extraordinary Grand Voyage weaves together the cultural, historical and natural richness of three distinct regions, unfolding as a continuous narrative rather than a series of separate journeys. Beginning in Singapore and the Straits of Malacca, you move between heritage-rich Asian ports, island temples and tropical shorelines, before following Indonesia’s volcanic arc through Java, Bali and a string of lesser-visited isles defined by coral bays and traditional coastal communities. The middle chapters unfold within the Coral Triangle, where remote islands, marine parks and emerald bays offer some of the world’s most vibrant reef systems and a strong sense of seafaring tradition. Turning south, Papua New Guinea and Australia’s east coast introduce rainforest-backed beaches, reef-fringed islands and relaxed harbour towns, before your voyage draws to a close beneath Sydney’s landmark headlands.
