19 days | Singapore - Brunei - Borneo - Indonesia - Moluccas - Papua New Guinea - Cairns

There is no better way to discover the many thousands of islands in Asia than by boat. The VASCO DA GAMA allows you to enjoy both magnificent views from afar and impressive experiences up close. In Brunei, you can stretch your legs on the sand of the beautiful beaches, while in Malaysia you can relax by the turquoise blue sea. Then immerse yourself in small-scale Indonesia. Tropical climate, breathtaking rainforest and thousands of years of history come together here. And in Papua New Guinea, you can spot birds of paradise in the wild. Don't forget your binoculars!
