Sailing off from the vibrant city of Singapore, this journey will take you to the treasures of one of the most fascinating, exotic and beautiful lands in the world, India. First, however, you travel to the fascinating port of Malacca, once centre of the spice trade, and the Malayan island of Penang with its rich colonial history. Then on to Colombo, capital of Sri Lanka, and a chance to explore the hill town of Kandy, the seat of Sri Lanka’s ancient kings. Aegean Odyssey continues its voyage along India’s historic Malabar Coast, the long history has left this tropical coastline peppered with gems for the visitor.

After this is an included five-day land tour of India’s Golden Triangle. The term "golden" is apt as the extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendour in each of the three cities is truly remarkable. Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, is home to some of Asia's best bazaars. You could spend days in Delhi, the sprawling, fascinating Indian capital, and not see it all, while Agra, once the heart of the Moghul Empire, boasts the unparalleled beauty of the Taj Mahal.
