Special Note: Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.
DAY 1 - April 23, 2025
After disembarking the cruise ship in Nha Trang, you will transfer to the Cam Ranh airport for a two-hour flight to Hanoi. A light meal will be served on the flight.
Upon landing, you will be greeted and assisted with VIP Fast track services and transferred to the Sofitel Hanoi or a similar hotel for the evening.
Hanoi is home to centuries-old traditional architecture that stands alongside French-colonial mansions as well as traditional temples. The life of the city can be seen in the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, where small boutiques, coffee shops and lively street vendors contribute to the vibrant atmosphere.
DAY 2 - April 24, 2025
You will get an early start to witness Hanoi slowly come to life as market vendors and city workers prepare for the day ahead.
A driver will take you through Hanoi on a cyclo, a three-wheeled bicycle taxi that accommodates two passengers. You will pass through boulevards that will become crowded later in the day but are just coming to life. While visiting the Botanical Gardens, you will likely see locals exercising, following tai chi masters and playing badminton—all typical early-morning activities.
Continuing on in the cyclo, you will travel along a leafy street lined with French colonial villas. You will stop to explore the city’s largest fresh food market, where many local shops and restaurants source their produce. The market is located near Long Bien Bridge, an iconic steel overpass that the French built in the early 20th century.
Return to your hotel for breakfast and to freshen up before continuing your tour.
Proceed to the mausoleum of former President Ho Chi Minh and learn about his role in Vietnam’s journey towards independence. His humble stilted house, which resembles an ethnic village home, is nearby.
Other landmarks include the One Pillar Pagoda, a unique 11th-century structure dedicated to King Ly Thai To’s son, and Hoa Lo Prison, which was known as the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you will walk alongside the train tracks and observe typical Hanoian families living in narrow houses beside the railway line. Small boutique shops and quaint cafés line the gravel road where residents gather to converse and hang out their laundry to dry. The passing of a train, just inches from their houses, seems to be just another part of the day in this humble area of town.
You will then travel to a trendy lounge for a cup of coffee while enjoying the scenery. You will see Long Bien Bridge, an iconic steel overpass that the French built across the Red River in the early 20th century.
Back at the hotel, you will have time to relax and freshen up before exploring Hanoi in the evening on the back of a Vespa. The driver will take you through busy streets and narrow passageways to show you a side of Hanoi that most visitors never see. You can expect it to be a genuine glimpse of daily life, especially while pausing at a vegetable market and to meander past narrow houses where many generations of the same family live together under one roof.
To add to your understanding of local life, you will also stop to sample local delicacies and a glass of bia hoi, a fresh brewed Vietnamese beer. Before returning to the hotel, you will take one last trip to a trendy area near West Lake to soak up the atmosphere.
DAY 3 - April 25, 2025
Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will head back to Noi Bai airport and take a seaplane to Halong Bay. The one-hour flight offers fabulous aerial views of the bay and the surrounding landscape. The water landing will be especially exhilarating.
The UNESCO World Heritage site Halong Bay is known for its natural beauty, where thousands of rugged limestone karsts can be seen jutting out like dragon’s teeth amid the emerald waters. You will see the bay up close on a beautifully crafted Vietnamese sailing vessel with a maximum capacity of 35 guests. As the boat sets sail, you will be served lunch.
Out on deck is the best place to watch the dramatic scenery unfold and soak up the majestic atmosphere of this surreal landscape as the vessel cruises past limestone islets and grottoes. After an inspiring journey, you will return to the pier and head to the Sunworld Passenger to re-embark the cruise ship.

Many call Seattle, “The Emerald City.” There is no wizard, but Seattle certainly has a magic all of its own. It is a dynamic, urban city surrounded by unmatched natural beauty.

At a chosen winery, you will dine on delicious northwest cuisine and a carefully curated selection of paired wines with lunch.

After lunch, return to the coach for a 2-hour drive through central Washington, across the beautiful and historic Columbia River, to this evening’s destination, Portland, Oregon.
If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a view of The Mountain en-route. Mount Tahoma, or Mt. Rainier, is simply known to the locals as “The Mountain,” and the locals count it as a lucky day if the weather permits a peek. If you overhear a local say “The Mountain is out,” you’ll know you are in for an amazing sight!

Enjoy a walking tour in downtown Portland, with stops at several eateries for your delectation. Walk approximately 1½ miles and enjoy four different stops featuring a variety of styles from up-scale restaurants, to casual eateries, to food carts. Although each stop will feature no more than a course, you’re sure to be more than full by the time you climb back onto the coach!
Next sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic 1.5-hour drive to the magnificent Oregon coast, and the charming town of Cannon Beach. You’ll be captivated by the beauty of this seaside town, with its remarkable displays of nature, and multitude of art galleries and unique shops.

Note: Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.
DAY 1 – April 10, 2025
After disembarking in Benoa, Bali, you will meet your guide and transfer to Subak Guliang, a traditional farming village in the island’s interior. The houses there are architecturally unique as they are based on the Asta Kosala Kosali tradition of house-building, a method somewhat similar to the ancient art of feng shui.
The houses are comprised of compounds in which areas for sleeping and cooking for instance are in separate structures rather than in separate rooms. All those structures are typically enclosed within a wall.
Your immersion into the culture will begin by helping prepare breakfast in the kitchen compound. The meal typically includes seasonal fruits, coffee, mineral water and Balinese cookies.
An enlightening walk through the village follows, during which you can meet and interact with the residents and see how families live and work together on a day-to-day basis. On one of the village farms, you will learn about the staple rice, from planting and harvesting through the best methods of cooking it. You will also gain an understanding of the simple but effective irrigation system Subak. Or you may just sit back and take it all in while enjoying fresh coconut water.
Lunch will be served right in the middle of the rice field with the soft background of traditional Rindik music played on bamboo instruments.
Afterwards, you will visit Penglipuran, a village that the indigenous Bali Aga people inhabit. The villagers still adhere to the strict traditions and time-honored ways that their ancestors followed centuries ago. The experience will provide a contrast to life in Subak Guliang.
Continuing on to the town of Ubud, you will check into your resort hotel for dinner and to spend the evening.
DAY 2 – April 11, 2025
After an early-morning breakfast, you will check out and transfer to Denpasar Airport for a domestic flight to Surabaya in East Java. Upon arrival at the Surabaya Airport, you will meet a local guide and drive to the Wonosari Tea Plantation, a vast and beautiful plantation on the slope of Mount Arjuna. There, you will witness tea leaf picking, tea making and other traditional daily activities.
You will then transfer to Sumberawan, a stupa – or a Buddhist shrine – that was discovered in a deteriorated state in 1904 and has since been partially renovated. It is the only true Buddhist stupa in East Java and is believed to date to the 13th-century Majapahit Sinhasari kingdom.
Surprisingly, the stupa doesn’t have a stairway to the small room at the top where the relics of the most important Buddhists would normally be kept. As no relics were found, it is believed that the stupa was built as a place of worship and meditation or possibly to honor a visit by the Majapahit king Hayam Wuruk in 1359. The stupa is mentioned in the epic Javanese poem Negarakertagama, which was written in the 14th century.
Continuing on to the city of Malang, you will begin sightseeing in a becak, a wheeled rickshaw that offers unobstructed views. Stops will be made along the way at the city’s largest Chinese temple and at the Pasar Bunga flower market. Riding down Malang’s central boulevard Alun Alun and through a seemingly endless maze of small alleys will also be memorable.
You will then check into your hotel in Malang for the evening.
DAY 3 – April 12, 2025
After breakfast, you will ride in a rickshaw (2 guests per rickshaw) to a traditional market and purchase fresh ingredients for your hands-on cooking class back at the hotel. You will learn to prepare a Javanese dish that will be chosen based on the seasonal ingredients available at the market.
After dining on your concoctions, you will transfer to the Surabaya port and re-embark the cruise ship.

It is less breezy at this time of year; the sun can be quite intense and the air becomes hazier with the rising humidity. Though sometimes quite hot, the lack of rain still leaves this good time of year to visit the temples.

*Please avoid uncovered shoulders, shorts or revealing clothing.
*Full length trousers or pants and/or skirts covering the knees are required to be worn when visiting the temple
Although dinners are not formal, you may want to bring something a bit dressier for that time of day.
Bring a hat or a head covering for sun protection and don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses and bug spray (you should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours).

Guest are requested to take-off their foot wear and hats when visiting religious sites.
Local Currency:
Guests are encouraged to bring US Dollars with them as they are most accepted in Thailand. The local currency is the Thai Baht. You should take smaller denominations of US Dollars with you, as they will keep you from ending up with a lot of local change that you will not be able to re-exchange back home.
Electricity:
Rooms are equipped with 220-volt, two-pin US style electrical outlets. We recommend travelling with your own adaptor kits should you have electronic devices.
Luggage information:
20kg (44lbs) - Light luggage would be most suited for this 3-night trip. Please note that the airlines allow a maximum of 1 checked suitcase (20 kg or 44lbs) and one small carry on. Any additional pieces will be in excess and fees will be paid to the airline at the guests’ expense.

Day 2 – April 16, 2025
After breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer by tuk tuk to Apopo, a fascinating research center. There, a special breed of rat with an extraordinary sense of smell is trained to detect landmines so they can be safely removed from rural areas after the military conflicts in the area have ended. The rats don’t weigh enough to set off the landmines and are never in harm’s way. This behind-the-scenes experience will give you the opportunity to observe the rats clearing a mock mine field and talk with their trainers.
The highly valued rats are well treated. They enjoy spacious, cool lodgings, are fed plenty of fresh fruit and never work for longer than a few hours a day. The even have sunscreen carefully applied to their ears and tails to protect their skin while on duty. The rats typically retire after four years of service.

This evening you’ll be treated to a magical dining experience amidst ancient Angkor with rare access to the grounds of a historical temple at night.

Discover the enduring charm of Kyoto and Nara – both former capitals of Japan – through definitive landmarks that include legendary shrines and temples before boarding the bullet train to Tokyo, the present-day capital.
DAY 1 – May 11, 2025
After disembarking the ship in Osaka, you will travel by coach to Nara, Japan’s first capital. There, you will visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara Park. The deity enshrined there is said to have ridden to Nara on a deer. Ever since, these animals have been considered sacred and accordingly have been protected. You might feed the deer a special sugar-free cracker available at the shrine.
The deer respond to the sound of a horn and you will witness this phenomenon first-hand in a demonstration just for your group. When the horn blows, the deer will emerge from the surrounding forest and approach the horn blower. It will be quite the sight.
Later, proceed to Todaiji, a temple complex and UNESCO World Heritage site containing the largest bronze Buddha statue in Japan.
Then, after lunch at a restaurant, you will visit the Kehaya-za Sumo Pavilion, where you will observe a demonstration of sumo wrestling. Sumo originated in Japan, where it is the national sport. In fact, Japan is the only country where sumo is practiced professionally, so the demonstration will be a rare treat.
Late in the afternoon, you will check into The Thousand Kyoto, your hotel for the next two evenings. The group will dine at a local restaurant for dinner.
DAY 2 – May 12, 2025
Following breakfast at the hotel, you will travel into Kyoto to the Golden Pavilion, also known as Kinkaku-ji Temple. Originally built as a three-story home in 1397, the pavilion follows the Shinden style by being positioned at the edge of a tranquil pond.
While viewing the pavilion’s exterior, you will notice that the second and third stories are covered in shimmering gold leaf. The mirror reflection of the temple on the glassy pond is another highlight.
You will then travel into the Arashiyama district to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Strolling the winding paths with sunlight filtering down through towering bamboo is considered by many to be a healing experience.
Lunch follows, after which you will visit the garden of Tenryu-ji Temple, an esteemed UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in 1339, Tenryuji is famous for its Japanese landscape garden. A triumph of design, the garden features a central pond that beautifully reflects the surrounding maple trees and the forested Arashiyama mountains.
You will enjoy a private Zen meditation session there held exclusively for your group.
Next proceed to the Buddhist temple Kiyomizu-dera to enjoy a breath-taking view of Kyoto. Kiyomizu-dera is one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto and was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage site for its cultural and historical significance.
It is perched halfway up Mount Otowa in the Higashiyama mountain range. Many visitors come to pay their respects to Kannon, a deity of mercy and compassion.
Later, in the Gion geisha district, you will meander down the Ninen Zaka path, an ancient stone-paved pedestrian walkway lined with traditional buildings and shops.
The group will dine at a local restaurant for dinner.
DAY 3 – May 13, 2025
Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, which is famous for its thousands of vibrant, orange torii gates along the wooded hiking trail that leads to the top of Mount Inari.
The names of the donors that funded the torii gates – which are dedicated to the deity of good harvest and success in business – are inscribed on them.
Although there are approximately 12,000 steps to climb to the summit, you can walk as far as you wish.
Afterwards, you will enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of a sake brewery and be offered a tasting of this quintessential Japanese spirit.
You will then ride in Green Class on the Shinkansen, known familiarly as the Bullet Train for its high speed and sleek shape. It can travel more than 150 miles per hour, drastically reducing the time it will take to reach Tokyo.
A bento box is included for the journey. Snacks and soft drinks can be purchased on board.
Upon arriving there, you will travel to the port and re-embark the cruise ship.

Experience the extraordinary natural beauty and wildlife of South America during this memorable journey to Iguazú Falls ~ one of the great natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.
The Iguazú River Delta is located in the center of a sub-tropical forest spanning 457,000 acres and possesses unique characteristics that have made it an important economic and ecological reserve for its neighboring countries. On this overland adventure you will visit the northeastern section of Argentina - an area that is inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.
Note: There is extensive walking at Iguazú, the pathways can be uneven in places, and you are very likely to get wet from the spray of the falls.
Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.
DAY 1
Disembark in Montevideo and transfer to the airport for a flight to Iguazú falls via Buenos Aires.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. This natural wonder is taller than Niagara Falls, twice as wide and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles. Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery.
Proceed to a prime location close to the falls where the group will enjoy an exclusive set up of cocktails.
Next, take a ride on the Iguazú Eco-Train to visit one of the wonders of the world, the impressive Garganta Del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). At sunset, this may be one of the most breathtaking sights you may see during your tour – this is where the Iguazú River crashes down almost 80 meters, usually forming rainbows!
Finally, head over to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
DAY 2
After breakfast at your hotel, return to Iguazú National Park where you will walk along the upper and/or lower catwalks, discovering the falls from several different vantage points.
Following a buffet lunch inside the park, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Along the way, your guide will explain all about the trees, birds, falls and more.
Note: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.
After the tour, walk back to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
