Experience the wonders of the United Arab Emirates, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore when you cruise the Spice Route from Dubai to Singapore! Cruising is the best way to see this colourful, colonial route, and the voyage will be an insight into the journeys that the spice traders once took. Some highlights on your trip would include:
Dubai
Exploring the modern city of Dubai where the city is alive with innovation, technology and fashion. There are several observation decks, fancy malls, large water features and attraction parks to keep you entertained.
Elephanta Island

Colombo

Yala National Park
Counting the number of elephants you can spot in Yala National Park – Sri Lanka’s second largest national park. You’ll be amazed at the wildlife you’ll find here; it’s home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of leopards.
