India,
Sri Lanka & Singapore Voyager
18 Nights
Celebrity Millennium
This is a rare and unique opportunity to cruise between India
and Singapore via Sri Lanka. Explore the history and colonial architecture of
India, discover the temples and scenery of Sri Lanka and relax on the beaches
of Kerala and Goa
Mumbai is built
on what was once an archipelago of seven islands. Between 1661 and 1666 the islands were placed in the possession of
the English Empire. Over the years of British rule the islands were merged via
landfill to become the area known today as Mumbai. India gained independence from Great Britain in 1947; and in
1995 Bombay was returned to its original name of Mumbai named after Goddess
Mumba Devi.
One of the most
popular places to visit is the Gateway of India which was built during the
colonial era to commemorate the visit of King George V in 1911. Once
representing the grandeur of British Empire, it was also the place from where
the last troop of British regiment marched at the time of independence. Another
place to visit is Marine Drive - a C-shaped 3 km stretch of road lined with
palm trees overlooking the Arabian Sea. At night when the streetlights come on
it resembles a necklace and is often referred to the Queen’s Necklace. This is
one of the best places for a walk with refreshing breezes and numerous stalls
and restaurants. Perhaps visit the Rajabai Clock Tower which is an 85-metre-tall
tower resembling London’s Big Ben, and Bombay High Court which is one of the
oldest High Courts in India, and it’s a UNESCO-recognised site.
Cochin (Itinerary
A) is a vibrant city situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula
in the prosperous state of Kerala, Cochin is also referred to as the Gateway
to Kerala. Cochin is flanked by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian
Sea on the west. Its proximity to the equator, the sea and the mountains
provide a range of sightseeing options in an equatorial climate. Perhaps cruise
the Alappuzha backwaters, visit fort Kochi, relax on Cherai Beach and explore
marine drive.
Colombo, Sri Lanka is
often described as the “Tear drop of
India” which offers a world of wonders, from ancient ruins to welcoming people
and incredible wildlife. There are eight
UNESCO World Heritage sites to explore including the Temple of the Sacred tooth
in Kandy and, Sigiriya, the most visited historical site in Sri Lanka and
considered by many to be the eighth wonder of the World. Other highlights
include visiting the tea plantations or taking a tour of one of the many
national parks, where you’ll encounter leopards, buffaloes, birds and
elephants.
The island
nation of Singapore makes a holiday destination in its own right - let alone
the perfect prelude or postlude to this wonderful Indian and Sri Lankan voyage.
Singapore is often
referred to as the “Island with a thousand shopping malls”. Visit the 2.2km
stretch of Orchard Road - the Oxford Street of Singapore, Chinatown, Little
India and the vast Bugis Street Market. Enjoy a tour of Chinatown, have
afternoon tea in the famous Raffles Hotel or take a cable car ride to Sentosa
Island for some panoramic views. Gardens by the
Bay is a nature park with futuristic looking tree sculptures which reach
heights of up to 16 storeys. Here you will find the Flower
Dome and the Cloud Forest waterfront conservatories and the Supertree
Grove with 18 manmade trees. The best
time to visit Gardens by the Bay is in the late afternoon, around 4-5pm. Start
with the cooled conservatories and then go up to the OCBC Skyway in the evening
when the temperature is cooler. Definitely check out the nightly show (free
admission), that showcases the magical lights of the super trees to music.
