Far East


In the soft hour of dawn, a faint breeze brushes the surface of a glassy sea…

This is the beginning of your journey to the ends of the earth in Thailand’s Andaman Sea, a voyage into the mysteries and marvels of a far-eastern land little known to the western world. We’ll take you to a hidden corner of the Orient that adventurous travellers treasure for its unspoiled beaches and dream-like natural beauty. The little ports and scores of islands dotting the Andaman Sea along the west coasts of Thailand and Malaysia have long been stopping places for traders from India, Indonesia, China, Burma, Arabia and Europe. Here, indigenous peoples traded for goods they could not obtain locally.

 

The people are friendly and their smiles are genuine, perhaps because they haven’t had to cope with crowds of tourists. The clarity of the water and the variety of coral and marine life are amazing. What’s more amazing is that many of these beautiful islands and their surrounding waters are designated national parks, preserved forever to explore and enjoy. For diving and snorkelling, or just curling your toes in warm sand, this is paradise found.

 

After exploring the pristine beauty of the Andaman Sea, select sailings continue along the western coast of Malaysia to Malacca, known as the “City of Dreams” and also the oldest city in Malaysia, before reaching cosmopolitan and immaculate Singapore.
