Highlights of Southeast Asia
Things To See & Do
Signature Experiences
Phang Nga Bay & Phuket
Cruise among the iconic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, explore sea caves by kayak, and anchor off the pristine beaches of the Similan Islands.
Bali & the Komodo Islands
Explore the sacred temples and rice terraces of Bali, then sail east to the Komodo Islands to dive pristine reefs and encounter the legendary Komodo dragon.
Raja Ampat Diving
Dive the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on earth — Raja Ampat's reefs contain more species of fish and coral than anywhere else in the world.
Mergui Archipelago Seclusion
Explore one of the world's last truly remote archipelagos — 800 islands, pristine reefs, and the extraordinary Moken sea nomads, accessible only by private yacht.
Taste & Tradition
Food & Culture
Southeast Asian cuisine is among the world's most complex and aromatic — a symphony of lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and chilli that varies dramatically from country to country and island to island. Thai food balances sweet, sour, salty, and spicy with extraordinary precision; Balinese cuisine is fragrant with turmeric and coconut; Vietnamese food is fresh, light, and herb-driven. Your private chef will source from local markets and fishermen at each port, bringing the authentic flavours of each destination to your table as you sail.
Signature Dishes
Tom Yum Goong
Thailand's iconic hot and sour prawn soup — lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and fresh prawns in a broth of extraordinary complexity and heat.
Babi Guling
A traditional Dalmatian dish of meat or octopus slow-roasted under a bell-like lid covered with hot embers — tender, smoky, and deeply flavourful.
Pho Bo
Vietnam's national dish — a clear, deeply flavoured beef broth with rice noodles, fresh herbs, and paper-thin slices of beef, eaten at dawn in a Hanoi street market.
Nasi Goreng
Indonesia's beloved fried rice, wok-tossed with kecap manis, shrimp paste, and fresh chilli, topped with a fried egg and prawn crackers.
Cultural Highlights
Ancient Temple Civilisations
From the Hindu temples of Bali to the Buddhist monasteries of Thailand, Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's most extraordinary religious architecture and living spiritual traditions.
Sea Nomad Cultures
The Moken of the Mergui Archipelago and the Bajau of the Philippines have lived on the sea for centuries, developing extraordinary free-diving abilities and an intimate knowledge of the ocean.
Spice Trade Heritage
The Banda Islands of Indonesia were once the world's only source of nutmeg and mace — the most valuable commodities on earth. Their history of colonial conquest and cultural exchange shaped the modern world.
Best Time to Visit
