From Fiji, the ship makes its way to the shores of the Solomon Islands, Papa New Guinea, and Australia for excursions such as scuba diving, snorkeling trips, parasailing, scenic flights, and rain-forest treks. After a few stops in Australia, Indonesia, and Singapore you'll make your way to the lush landscapes of Galle and Colombo in Sri Lanka and Cochin and Mormugao (Goa) in India before setting sail for Oman, and Egypt.

There will be featured speakers including astronomers, filmmakers, and archeologists to enhance the off-ship experiences and unique events throughout, such as a private outdoor dinner complete with Vikings in authentic costumes, flickering lights from oil lamps, and the smell of smoke from the campfire in Iceland's Kjarnaskógur Forest.
