Sailing west overnight, today you'll be welcomed to the island of Java, the fifth-largest and most populous island in the world, and the heart of Indonesia. Home to over half of the country's population, this densely populated island is a fascinating blend of natural beauty (particularly with its volcanoes), rich cultural heritage and bustling urban centres. Arrive into Surabaya mid-morning and set out to explore the city – with everything from Buddhist temples to an historic Arab Quarter, the capital of Indonesia’s East Java province is known as a gateway city, but you’ll find charms throughout its diverse neighbourhoods. One of the most unusual is the House of Sampoerna, a well-preserved historical site built in the 19th-century Dutch colonial style that includes a museum, café and art gallery. You’ll spot the turquoise, dome-shaped roof of the remarkable Al Akbar Mosque Surabaya from anywhere in the city. Opened in 2000, the stylish masterpiece provides spectacular views from atop the freestanding, ottoman-style minaret.

Cruising across the northern coast of Java, arrive into the city of Semarang early this morning. Semarang serves as a vital economic and cultural hub, seamlessly blending modern urban life with remnants of its colonial past. A major port during the Dutch colonial era, the city is known in Indonesia for its large ethnically Chinese population. Today, it is an excellent gateway to the islands mountainous interior. Opt to journey through the dramatic landscape of central Java to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist monument.

By far Vietnam’s most popular seaside resort town, Nha Trang offers more than a turquoise bay ringed by a nearly four mile arc of golden sand and a lively promenade.

Elsewhere, take in the nearly 80-foot-tall white Buddha of Long Son Pagoda and spectacular surroundings of Hai Duc Pagoda.
