In the 20th century, the Southeast Asian nation hurtled itself into the modern world, and it continues to expand its state-of-the-art transportation system and build its edgy skyline. Yet Singapore's urban plan wisely maintained its intimate neighborhoods, many with streets lined with colorful shophouses (a type of building unique to parts of Asia, with businesses located on their ground floors and residences above). Ad... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: Puerto Princesa **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:30 PM Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan in the Philippines, is home to 250,000 people and offers a vastly different experience from Manila’s often overwhelming big-city dynamism. For many travelers, it’s simply a gateway to the resorts of El Nido, also on Palawan Island. Those who spend some time here, however, will discover a city that combines a laid-back vibe with beautiful sandy beaches and a wealth of marine life. Nearby, there are also lush mountains, rain forests, waterfalls and drama... ### Day 5: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 6: Bitung, Indonesia **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM ### Day 7: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 8: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 9: Jayapura **Arrives:** 07:30 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM An out-of-the-way gem, Jayapura offers picturesque white-sand beaches, roadside stands where you can dine on coconuts and fresh, grilled fish; and fascinating World War II history to explore. ### Day 10: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 11: Rabaul, Papua **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM The East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea is lush and tropical. Mountain peaks and active volcanoes surround the town of Rabaul and Simpson Harbor. Built on an ancient volcanic crater, the harbor is one of the deepest in the region. For the same reason, some of most spectacular diving and snorkeling in the world can be found here. At Sub-Base, a shallow reef extends dramatically out from shore before dropping off into a crevasse rich with fish and other marine life. VIEW CRUISES ### Day 12: Kiriwina Island **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Located in Papua New Guinea’s Milne Bay Province, Kiriwina is the largest of the Trobriand Islands and home to the majority of their 12,000-strong indigenous population. The picturesque island is steeped in history and is famous to many as a site of U.S. occupation during World War II. In fact, various relics of the war, including the remains of an American plane, can still be seen on the island. But Kiriwina is home to far more than history. Here, you’ll find an idyllic traditional lifestyl... ### Day 13: Conflict Islands **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM Papua New Guinea is quickly becoming a favorite destination for cruise passengers, and it’s easy to see why when you visit the Conflict Islands. Although the name might not sound inviting (don’t worry, they're named after a British naval ship, not a war), these 21 islands are like paradise on earth: Tropical islets encircle an enormous turquoise lagoon formed by the rim of a sunken volcano, with vibrant coral reefs and rainbow schools of fish below the water. Located about 160 kilometers (97... ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: Townsville **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:30 PM The Townsville region in North Queensland, Australia is a bustling and vibrant destination boasting diversity in landscape, lifestyle and experiences.

This laid-back city is popular with travelers who depart from here for days of sailing, diving, snorkeling and trekking through nearby parks—a celebrated launching pad especially for those who want to explore the reef, the Daintree Rain Forest and other attractions of this part of Queensland. And what better place to start one's a... ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: Ribbon Reef Region **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 18: Aalborg **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The arable flatlands that flank the Limfjord—more of a long, shallow waterway than a typical fjord—create a scenic route into Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth-largest city. Aalborg’s sense of place is built on a history of trading that spans from the Vikings to 18th-century merchants, and its port’s proximity to the city center makes the half-timbered buildings and soaring cathedrals accessible for exploration. Along a waterfront promenade, a cluster of design-forward cultural venues exude a ... ### Day 18: Far North region **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 19: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 20: Darwin **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:30 PM Surrounded on three sides by the turquoise Timor Sea, the Northern Territory’s capital is closer in both distance and temperament to Southeast Asia than it is to most of Australia’s major cities. The lifestyle here is tropical, which means a relaxed atmosphere, balmy weather, fabulous fusion food and vibrant outdoor markets. This cosmopolitan city has fewer than 140,000 residents, but they include some 50 nationalities. After heavy bombing in World War II and a disastrous cyclone in 1974,... ### Day 21: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 22: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 23: Komodo Island **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM One of more than 17,000 islands that make up the Republic of Indonesia, Komodo Island is most famous for its resident Komodo Dragons.

Sample shore excursions: Komodo Island Trek. ### Day 24: Benoa (Denpasar) **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Indonesia is made up of more than 13,000 islands, but even with all that competition, Bali manages to stand out.
