Our staff will gladly assist you in planning any tour, excursions or trips that you want to do before or after the cruise.

With soaring mountains, deep jungles, ancient temples, bustling cities and palm-fringed beaches, Southeast Asia has it all. In fact, Southeast Asia has so many highlights it's difficult to know where to begin! Our staff have compiled a list of Southeast Asia's top attractions to help you begin planning your vacation, or see below for some pre- and post- yacht charter travel ideas:

Langkawi Yacht Charter Add On: "Penang Heritage Tour"

Penang is the very definition of diversity, demonstrating Malaysian culture at its best: a bustling melting pot of modernity and history, of colonial, Chinese, Indian and Malay influences on a sun-drenched tropical island. Penang is a bit different from Langkawi as it is mostly famous for its culture, food, its architecture and all its exotic heritage under British influence. Commonly called "The Pearl of the Orient", Penang Island will guarantee you an authentic plunge into Southeast Asia. Penang Island is a lively melting pot, mixing Chinese community (in majority), Indians, and Malay. Thanks to its world famous food, such as Char Kuey Teow and Nasi Kandar, Penang has earned the title of "Food Capital" of Malaysia. Georgetown in Penang has not been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site for nothing. Like Malacca (which received the same designation in the same year), Georgetown has a rich history and exudes tropical exoticism with a hint of modernity. The result is delightful.

Mergui Yacht Charter Add On: "Road to Mandalay River Cruise"

Cruise gently to the heart of the little-known land of Myanmar, where pagodas and ancient palaces line the mighty Ayeyarwady River, untouched by the passage of time. This realm of Buddhist spirituality embraces a wealth of beguiling - and truly unique - sights, scents and sounds.

Completely remodelled and refurbished the gracious river cruiser Road To Mandalay has just returned to the waters of the Ayeyarwady. Comfortable, spacious and supremely elegant she provides the perfect base for enjoying the timeless landscapes and cultural attractions of this beautiful waterway. There are 43 fully air-conditioned cabins furnished with beautiful fabrics, fine linens and the softest towels. A fitness room and wellbeing treatments are also available.

Komodo Yacht Charter Add On: "Bulgari Villa Bali Sejour"

Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, Bali is the second of a brilliant new series of hotels and resorts in prestige locations of the world. Each is to be an intimate place of elegance and pleasure, an experience of glamour and excellence.

The Resort is set on a 150-meter high plateau overlooking the Indian Ocean. A pristine private beach, suitable for long walks along the oceanfront and featuring a Private Beach Club, is reached via an inclined elevator. The resort's landscape is featured by walls in butik stone, a white coral stone, obtained from the promontory. To the visitor the view is very much like the one of a mediaeval fortress, closed within its walls and unexpectedly tucked away in the tropical vegetation of the private gardens.

The Resort reflect the traditional Balinese architecture combined with a sophisticated contemporary design, using indigenous stones, native wood finished and refined craft-made fabrics exclusively created for the Bulgari Resort. The 59 individual villas, freestanding and private, will include an open-air pavilion, terrace and private plunge pool, enjoying spectacular ocean views.

Borneo Yacht Charter Add On: "Kinabatangan River Wildlife Tour"

According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) the Kinabatangan River is one of only two known places on Earth where 10 primate species can be found (a list which includes the beautiful borneo Orang Utan, as well as Proboscis Monkeys and Bornean Gibbon). You can also expect to see Crocodiles lounging on the river banks, Reticulated Pythons hanging from trees, Hawks, Eagles, Hornbills and Kingfishers flying overhead and, if you are there during the right time of the year, you may catch sight of a herd of charming Borneon Pygmy Elephants, feeding on the edge of the Kinabatangan River.

The Kinabatangan is a huge river, stretching 560km from the Crocker Range in the southwest of Sabah to the Sulu Sea in the east. The lower basin of the river itself is the largest forest covered floodplain in Malaysia and has the largest concentration of wildlife in the South East Asian region. A trip up the river at dawn or dusk is one of the best opportunities in the world to see wildlife outside of an African safari park.

Raja Ampat Yacht Charter Add On: "West Papua Discovery"

Papua's mystique piques the imagination of the explorer, naturalist, anthropologist, politician and traveller in you. The diversity in lifestyle and culture of the indigenous people, who speak more than 250 languages, is matched only by Papua's biodiversity and geography. The terrain covering half of New Guinea, the planet's second-largest island, ranges from the misty peak of Puncak Jaya (5050m) - which features permanent snowfields and small glaciers - to the steamy island groups of Biak and Raja Ampat, just shy of the equator. Endemic wildlife gracing this vast expanse of jungle, mountain, swamp and sea include such weird and wonderful creatures as cassowaries, dugongs, showy cenderawasih (birds of paradise), egg-laying echidnas and tree-dwelling monitor lizards. Discover the Baliem Valley, home to some of the most remarkable traditional cultures on earth, as well as the art of the Asmat region.
