Aimed at modern-day explorers, the destination-rich holiday begins on October 8, 2023, with a complimentary flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Lisbon in Portugal for a free night’s stay in a hotel. Next day, guests will board VASCO DA GAMA for the grand, 110-night line voyage half way around the world back to Sydney. The spacious and elegant, nine-deck ship boasts sleek teak decks, five deluxe bars and lounges, five restaurants, spa centre with sauna, steam bath and gym, two pools, three jacuzzis and a two-storey show theatre.
The itinerary for the voyage features 52 ports in 24 countries, offering a relaxed and unhurried way to see so many exotic lands without constantly packing and unpacking.
Destinations include Morocco, seldom-visited Senegal and Gambia in western Africa and the remote volcanic island of St Helena as well as Namibia, South Africa and the rich wildlife of Madagascar.
Idyllic tropical islands such as the Maldives, Seychelles and Reunions follow as well as exotic India and Sri Lanka. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong are visited, with Christmas and New Year’s celebrated onboard the ship in traditional style.
The adventure continues in The Philippines and Indonesia before reaching ports in the Northern Territory and Queensland and journey’s end in Sydney on January 28, 2024.
