India by Land, Southeast Asia by Sea: Tour & Cruise – 26 Days
Delhi, the Taj Mahal, Ranthambore and Jaipur, then a 12-night cruise from Singapore to Hong Kong via Bangkok and Vietnam.
Tour overview
This 26-day journey combines an escorted tour of India's Golden Triangle and tiger country with a 12-night cruise through Southeast Asia, from Singapore to Hong Kong, with flights from the UK and all meals included. Groups have between 12 and 28 travellers aged 12 and over, with an English-speaking tour director and local guides on land. You stay twelve nights in four-star hotels in India, Singapore and Hong Kong and twelve nights aboard the cruise ship Celebrity Solstice, with an overnight flight out from the UK. Meals are included throughout, in hotels, on tours and in the ship's main dining venues.
After flying overnight to Delhi, you explore India's capital, from the lanes of Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi to the boulevards of New Delhi. Travelling to Agra, you tour the great Agra Fort and rise early to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, before heading to Ranthambore National Park for morning and afternoon safaris in search of tigers.

In Jaipur, the Pink City, you see the Hawa Mahal and the hilltop Amber Fort, then return to Delhi and fly to Singapore, where a full-day tour takes in Chinatown, Kampong Glam and the city's modern skyline. Boarding Celebrity Solstice, you sail up the coast of Malaysia to the tropical island of Koh Samui and on to Bangkok, with two days to explore its temples and markets.
Crossing the Gulf of Thailand, you call at Saigon, Vietnam's lively second city, then sail up the coast to Chan May for the imperial city of Hue or the beaches of Danang, and on to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO-listed seascape of limestone islands, with two days in port and the option to visit Hanoi. After a final day at sea, you leave the ship in Hong Kong for a full-day tour beneath its famous skyline before flying home.
The physical rating is medium, with early starts for safaris and sunrise. This journey suits travellers who want to see India and Southeast Asia in comfort, combining guided touring with the ease of a cruise. Departures are limited, so early booking is recommended. Visas may be needed for some countries.
