Take to the high seas on a working container ship for a cruise with a difference. Whether looking for options other than flying or just after a totally different experience, this journey will leave you with plenty of stories to tell. No doubt you will also hear a few great tales from the merchant seamen who crew the ship. This is adventure and total relaxation all rolled into one very different travelling package.

Day 1 Singapore
Rendezvous with your ship at the local port in Singapore. While you settle yourself into your cabin, the crew make the final arrangements to weigh anchor and begin the adventure.
Days 2-5 Cruising the high seas
The journey from Singapore to Chennai will take about five days on a good heading. The ship will probably take on cargo at Kuala Lumpur where you will get to see the team loading goods. After this it is just you, the ship and the ocean. Read the novel you've been putting off for too long; write the novel you've been putting off for too long. For the more active, head to the gym or enjoy a swim in the plunge pool. Keep your eyes peeled for seabirds or marine life and, most of all, relax.
Day 6 Chennai
Our destination port is Chennai, where the chaos of the landfall makes an interesting contrast to the serenity of the sea. It's time to wave the captain and crew goodbye and to regain your land-legs for whatever adventures lie ahead.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
