City tours
Attributing the broad itinerary to the ship’s ‘impressive sailing speeds,’ Martin Lister, head of itinerary planning and destination experience, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said, ‘For us, it’s not just the destinations we visit, but the way we help our guests to experience them. Of course, that includes visits to famous sites such as the Sydney Opera House and Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. But we delve much deeper too. In Mumbai, guests can spend time with a Dabawalla as they are doing their rounds, or learn to dance the Charleston in the city it originated.'
Nature spotting
He added, ‘For nature lovers, there are some real opportunities to capture wildlife at its very best: from calls into Lahaina in Hawaii, said to be one of the best places in the world to spot humpback whales, to chances to walk the canopies of Costa Rican rainforests or witness the world’s largest lizards on Komodo Island.
‘We have designed this cruise to make the most of some of the planet's most spectacular scenery too, from the memorable vistas offered in Hawaii, to scenic sailings of New Zealand’s Dusky Sound Fjords.’
Itinerary highlights
Highlights include visits to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the chance to step ashore in the rarely-visited Alotau in Papau New Guinea. According to the cruise line, there will be ‘plenty of time ashore in each port of call’ with extended overnight stays in Charleston, Aukland, Sydney, Australia and Dubai.
Passengers will have the additional opportunity to see the Taj Mahal in an extended, three-day overland tour from Mumbai.
