One cruise journeys across the top of Australia to make an inaugural visit to Arnhem Land, the birthplace of the didgeridoo, while another, from Male, visits the Seychelles, Maldives, Mozambique and Tanzania, and features an inaugural visit to Aldabra, a raised coral atoll that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
