Relaxation at sea
Toamasina/Madagascar, 7.00 – 18.00 hrs
This unique natural harbour in eastern Madagascar is the ideal starting point for excursions into the surrounding area, from Parc Ivoloina* to the Canal des Pangalanes*, the banks of which are lined with small fishing villages.
Relaxation at sea
Hellville/Nosy Be/Madagascar , 8.00 – 19.00 hrs
Alluring fragrances: the island of Nosy Be, where plants such as vanilla, cloves and ylang-ylang grow, is famous for its perfume. The thrilling excursions promise to be an exotic experience, such as to the Lokobe Reserve* or Nosy Komba*, the island of lemurs, which only live on Madagascar.
Relaxation at sea
Desroches/Seychelles , 9.00 – 18.00 hrs
Snorkel, dive and relax: the island provides wonderful options for a relaxed holiday. You can continue to relax and recuperate over four consecutive days at sea.
Relaxation at sea
Cochin/India, 4.00 – 17.00 hrs
Take a relaxed stroll along winding alleyways and through the local spice market. Alternatively, take a ride in a tuk-tuk* and gain insights into Indian cuisine*. It is worth taking a detour to the backwaters of Alleppey*, a labyrinth of lagoons, or Fort Cochin*, where you can see the huge wooden structures of the famous Chinese fishing nets. Alternatively, set off on a several-day overland excursion* to Delhi and the Taj Mahal (with re-embarkation in Mumbai).
Agatti/Lakkadives/India , 8.30 – 18.00 hrs
A unique lagoon with crystal-clear water, thousands of sea turtles and an underwater habitat considered by those in the know to be the most beautiful in the world. Just one question remains: would you rather snorkel or relax?
Relaxation at sea
Mumbai (Bombay)/India, 6.00 – 18.00 hrs
A world in itself, full of contrasts like Bollywood charm and sacred, fortune-bringing cows on the streets, steaming roadside food stalls and luxury hotels, and haggling sellers and colourful Hindu gods. You can decide how you want to explore this megacity – for instance, on a panorama tour* or on the excursion “Mumbai experience – the many faces of the metropolis”*. Enjoy peace and relaxation at a yoga class*.
OUR TIP:
Action!
Do the same as the cinephile Indians: go to the cinema. Even if you have no knowledge of the language, a Bollywood romance is easy to follow.
Relaxation at sea
Dubai/United Arab Emirates, arrival 15.00 hrs
Overnight stay on board
With Arabian tradition and futuristic modernity, explore the city of superlatives on a city tour* or by seaplane*. Aim for the sky in the Burj Khalifa* and enjoy the views from the tallest building in the world. One possible alternative: a desert safari with dinner in the dunes*. A fabulous highlight before you set off on your journey home after spending the night on board or stay a little longer with our post-cruise programme*.
