37 Night World Cruise sector sailing from Sydney to Mubmai aboard Aurora.
Aurora is a cruise ship with a classic British design. Yet life on board feels distinctly cosmopolitan. French chic. Moorish elegance. International glamour. Her affinity for travel is evident throughout. If you are lookingfor a truly sophisticated cruising experience, she is the superliner for you.
Water cascades down her Lalique style Atrium, creating a calm central space. From here you can discover some of her many bars, shops and lounges. Relax in the comfortable surroundings of Anderson's. Enjoy coffee and chocolates in Raffles. Or head to the Crow's Nest for sunset. Fancy something more active? Her gym and golf simulator could be just the thing.
Dining on Aurora can be a relaxed or formal affair. Whilst her evening entertainment offers everything from theatre to comedy. All of her Staterooms havea stylish and spacious feel. She also has two luxury two tier penthouses, making her accommodation unique.
About the Cruise:
From its instantly recognisable Opera House to the distinctive Harbour Bridge, Sydney always lives up to expectations with Brisbane proving a popular spot for swimmingor surfing. Cairns, tourist gateway to the rainforest, provides a perfect contrast. Your journey continues with a stop in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea which is found inside a large collapsed volcanic crater!
Japan's third largest city, Osaka, combines historical and cultural attractions with futuristic architecture whilst in Nagasaki you'll find poignant reminders of the country's past. From Xingang, China you can visit Beijing or alternatively experience The Great Wall which snakes magnificently through the surrounding countryside. Then it's on to Shanghai and busy Hong Kong followed by the Vietnamese coastal resort of Nha Trang and Phu My, a base for touring Ho Chi Minh City.
In Thailand, explore Bangkok from laid-back Laem Chabang and the island resort of Ko Samui before calling at Singapore and Port Kelang for Kuala Lumpur. Memorable Mumbai is your final destination.
About Brisbane
Classic Australian pastimes such as surfing and swimming from sensational beaches - that is what you will find on the coastline surrounding Queensland's capital and cruise port Brisbane. To the south are the high-rise hotels which make up the exciting Surfers' Paradise and Gold Coast resorts, while to the north there is the beautiful and more sedate Sunshine Coast.
Cultural attractions in downtown Brisbane are located in and around the South Bank Parklands by the Brisbane River - site of the 1988 World Expo. In close proximity you will discover the Queensland Museum and the State Art Gallery, which features many Aboriginal works. Then there's the Butterfly House and Maritime Museum.
The best shopping can be found at the Myer Centre complex on the city's central commercial artery, Queen Street. Walk south to admire the fine architecture around the former Treasury building and then discover the imaginatively landscaped Botanic Gardens.
About Osaka
Japan's third largest city, Osaka combines historical and cultural attractions with modern developments. Before World War II, Osaka was an exotic maze of crisscrossing waterways and traditional wooden buildings, but unfortunately most of these were destroyed in the bombings. Today however, the city has leapt into the architectural future with such buildings as the Imperial Hotel, the inverted U-shape of the Umeda Sky Building and the enormous Ferris wheel on top of the HEP Five complex.
But just a short distance away, you'll see the gentle side of Japan. Kyoto, the former capital, is a serene city of geometric gardens, geisha houses, cherry trees, temples and palaces. Witness the ritual of the tea ceremony or savour a teriyaki lunch in the loveliest of Japanese cities.
About Shanghai
Once known as the Paris of the East, Shanghai now calls itself the Pearl of the Orient. It is China's largest and most cosmopolitan city and no other city can better capture the urgency and excitement of Chinas economic reform.
A port city, lying at the mouth of Asias longest and most important river, the Yangtze, Shanghai's spectacular architecture is catching the worlds attention. Charming old houses are making way for new museums, theatres and shiny new high-rises. But there is a comfortable blend of modern and traditional.
You can admire the exquisite Yu Garden with its Teahouse and Bridge of Nine Turnings or the Temple of the Jade Buddha. At the Shanghai Museum, you can peruse its works of art, which simultaneously draw you through the pages of Chinese history. But today in Shanghai, you can also enjoy the fast-paced lives of Chinas most glamorous, cosmopolitan and open people.
About Bangkok
Much of Laem Chabang's old laid-back charm remains, despite its rapid transformation into the country's 'Riviera' - a major gateway for visiting cruise passengers. Located on Thailand's east coast, this tranquil region of fruit orchards, gem mines and oyster and orchid farms, is now also a great place for swimming, snorkelling and experiencing traditional Thai village life.
You will be hard pressed to know what to do first when you visit the fascinating nearby capital of Bangkok, a treasury of old temples, fine palaces and extravagant art.
For a taste of Old Asia, tour the fabulously ornate buildings of the Grand Palace, where you will see Buddha statues exquisitely worked in ivory, crystal, silver and gold. Or the Royal Barge Museum - home to the splendid vessels used in royal processions.
For shoppers, Bangkok has everything from fake designer good to fine antiques. Barter your way around the markets of Sukhumvit Road and Siam, or browse the traditional shops on Chinatown's Chareon Krung Road.
About Mumbai
Gateway to one of the world's most vibrant cities, India's cruise port Mumbai (formerly Bombay) offers so many memorable experiences it is hard to know where to begin.Perhaps a stroll along Marine Drive, the broad seafront promenade, which links the skyscrapers and bustle of Nariman Point with the serene greenery of Malabar Hill, is the best introduction to the sheer variety of this fascinating city.
Or climb to the top of Malabar Hill to visit the terraced Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens, which overlook the Arabian Sea and the famous Towers of Silence. Then make your way to Crawford's Market (now Jyotiba Phulle), which will take you back in time to Victorian days - the frieze above its entrance was designed by Rudyard Kipling's father, and Rudyard's childhood home lies right opposite.
Bargain hunters should not miss the famous Chor Bazaar and the antique shops of Motton Street at its heart, where you can pick up fabulous memorabilia - and do not be afraid to bargain.
