About the cruise

Embark your ship in Southampton and set sail for the bustling Balearic port of Palma on Majorca. Your next two ports are filled with historical sights as you arrive in the mythological Athens and have the chance to visit the breathtaking pyramids at Giza. Arcadia will then transit the Suez Canal en route to the beach resort of Sharm el Sheik.

The ‘perfume capital of Arabia’ is Salalah due to the abundant frankincense trees found in the surrounding countryside. A call at Mumbai, the buzzing heart of India, is a wonderful opportunity to sample the frenetic culture, India is famed for. Phuket is a must-do port of call for visitors to Thailand, as is Penang in Malaysia. Next on the itinerary is Kuala Lumpur whose towering skyscrapers shadow the traditional streets below. Kemaman is the gateway to some of Malaysia’s most inspiring sights and Bangkok has an electric atmosphere unlike any other city. In Ko Samui why not take a longtail boat through the towering limestone pillars and in Singapore explore the boutiques of Orchard Road.
