Welcome to Singapore, where your South East Asian adventure begins. From taking a stroll down Haji Lane, jam-packed with funky bars and hip boutiques, to sampling an iconic Singapore Sling at the Long Bar in the infamous Raffles Hotel, there is so much to see and do during your three-night stay. Of course, no trip to Singapore would be complete without a visit to the Gardens by the Bay, located by the Marina Bay Waterfront in the heart of the city this architectural wonder spans over 101 hectares, this is a botanical garden like no other!

Holland America's Westerdam is the ideal ship to explore the stunning islands of Indonesia. She can carry just shy of 2000 passengers and recently underwent a refurbishment which saw the addition of some very popular Holland America staples. Music fans will be able to enjoy nightly live entertainment with Music Walk™, including Lincoln Center Stage, B.B. King's Blues Club and Billboard Onboard, whilst foodies should check out the regional cooking demonstrations and food and wine tastings with EXC Port to Table.

Your first port of call is the sprawling metropolis of Jakarta, be prepared for an utter assault on the senses, as this city of over 10 million people buzzes with energy. Your next stop is Probolinggo, where tours to Mount Bromo, one of Indonesia's most spectacular volcanoes, are always in high demand, however, if you're not feeling too active you can stay closer to sea level where there are plenty of beautiful beaches, temples, waterfalls and bamboo forests to explore. A day at sea will prepare you for one of the highlights of this cruise, Komodo Island, home to roughly 5,700 Komodo dragons, the largest lizards in the world. Arriving in Lombok it will be hard not to spot Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia's second-highest volcano. If you're looking to head off the beaten path why not take an excursion to the stunning Gili Islands, fringed by white sand and coconut palms, these islands are a vision of paradise. Cruising across the Wallace Line (a line that marks the boundary between areas populated by Asian and Australian fauna) you'll arrive in Bali where you'll visit both Benoa and Celukan Bawang. We could write a whole blog about what to do in Bali, actually, we did, so why not click here to read it. Your next stop Surabaya offers an abundance of excursion options, for Indonesians this 'City of Heroes' is hugely important as it was here that the battle for independence began, whist on your final port, Semarang, on Java's north coast, an excursion to Borobudur, the Buddhist temple and UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates to the 8th and 9th centuries is a must.
