DEAR ADVENTURER
Our sweeping new voyage spans an intriguing geographical region graced with naturalbeauty and a dazzling array of cultures. Join us aboard the Clipper Odysseyas we cruise fromSingapore into the fabled Andaman Sea, and across the Bay of Bengal. Along the way wefollow in the wake of explorers, powerful colonizers, and entrepreneurial spice traders who
ultimately mapped this corner of the world.
For lovers of history and nature, snorkelers, birders and photographers, the highlights of thisjourney are many and begin with an exploration of Malaysia. e lovely ports of Malaccaand Pulau Penang reflect both ancient Buddhist roots, as well as the political and culturalinfluences of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. We explore the lush mangrove forests ofLangkawi, which afford birders excellent opportunities to spot rare avian species, and snorkelamong kaleidoscopic corals in the translucent waters of ailands Similan Islands.
Burmas temple complexes defy the imagination and we are thrilled to explore both Rangoonand the enchanting interior city of Pagan. Spend two days in the Andaman Islands, wherewe investigate historic Port Blair, discover an incredible diversity of birds and botanicals onguided hikes, and revel in a dramatic seascape of turquoise lagoons, colorful coral gardens,and bountiful marine life.
Enigmatic Sri Lanka is a cultural treasure-trove whose highlights include the amazing WorldHeritage Sites of Polonnaruwa, the Golden Temple of Dambulla, and Kandys sublime Templeof the Tooth. Our adventure culminates in India, with an exploration of the magnificentHindu temples at Madurai.
An outstanding team of expedition leaders and eminent lecturers will join you for this voyage;we look forward to exploring this wondrous corner of the world together.
With warm regards,
