THE SOCIETY SETS SAIL
UNFORGETTABLE SMALL SHIP ADVENTURE SOUTHEAST ASIA
For the second year running, APT joins with the Australian Geographic Society to create an East Indies voyage especially for members. What do you picture when you think of the East Indies? Unexplored archipelagos? Crystal waters lapping deserted beaches? Indigenous cultures and time-honoured traditions? Or exotic wildlife above and below the water? The East Indies is a setting straight from the pages of Somerset Maugham and Joseph Conrad.
And Society members can now see this enchanting corner of the globe with their own eyes aboard an all-inclusive cruise from Manila to Darwin. An expert Society host will lead you through the hidden corners of Asia that lie beyond the tourists’ reach. You’ll travel with fellow members who share your sense of adventure. And you’ll do it in style on board the MS Caledonian Sky. This graceful vessel restores gentility to the art of travel. Its understated restaurants and atmospheric staterooms strike an effortless balance between modern comfort and timeless charm.
Each evening you’ll take a briefing from your team of historians, naturalists and ecologists in preparation for the next day’s expedition on the ship’s Zodiacs. You’ll visit the fascinating graves of the Toraja ancestors in the Torajaland highlands, meet rescued orangutans, encounter the formidable Komodo dragons and snorkel with turtles amongst coral gardens. And because it’s an APT Small Ship Cruise, your captain has the freedom to decide where to next. So sit back with a cocktail on the Sun Deck – another adventure awaits. Manila to Darwin - 24 June 2017 Hosted by Chris Bray, Photographer and AG Society host 90th Celebration Sale is on now!
