Singapore to Sydney: A 25-Day Regent Adventure

Day 1-3: Singapore

Your adventure begins with a direct flight to Singapore, where you’ll be whisked away by private transfer to The Clan Hotel, a refined retreat in the heart of the city. Take in panoramic views at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark and amble through the eco-wonderland of the Gardens by the Bay, a haven of tranquil greenery amidst gleaming skyscrapers. Stroll through colourful neighbourhoods like Little India or Chinatown, engaging all your senses with bold flavours, intricate architecture, and the hum of local life. Cap off your stay with the world-famous Singapore Sling at its birthplace, the iconic Long Bar at Raffles Hotel, before you board Navigator and begin your cruise.

Day 4: At Sea

Your journey at sea begins as you settle into your Deluxe Veranda Suite, complete with a private balcony, marble-detailed bathroom, and a European king-size luxe bed. Explore the ship's offerings, from the upscale Compass Rose restaurant to the serene spa, and let the attentive crew cater to your every whim.

Day 5: Semarang, Java

Experience the history of Semarang with an excursion up to ancient hilltop temples. Saddle up for a ride along a forested mountain trail, bringing you to a complex of ancient Hindu temples high in the hills. As you listen to stories of Sir Thomas Raffles, who rediscovered these temples a thousand years after they were built, enjoy the panoramic views of lush valleys, distant mountains, and patchwork villages.  

For those keen to explore at their own pace, there’s also the option to pay a surcharge to rent a car, minibus, or van, giving you the freedom to design your own Semarang itinerary for half a day or a full day.

Day 6: Surabaya

Uncover Surabaya as you explore the community-driven Kampung Lawas Maspati, a village known for its celebration of local culture. Perhaps take a moment to pay your respects at a moving memorial honouring those who lost their lives in the pivotal 1945 Battle of Surabaya. For a step back in time, tour a stunning five-star resort once used as Japanese headquarters during World War II, before returning to your home at sea.

Day 7-8: Bali

Spend two unforgettable days discovering Bali, where you can shape your own adventure by hiring transportation for an extra charge - a great option for exploring Bali’s famous beaches. Alternatively, pick from six expertly curated excursions, including: wandering bright green rice fields, discovering the ornate Royal Temple, immersing yourself in the hypnotic rhythms of a traditional musical performance, or visiting the serene Ulun Danu temple. You’ll also have the chance to watch a mesmerising Kecak dance or step into the colourful world of batik cloth production.

Day 9: Komodo Island

Enter the wilderness on Komodo Island, home to the famous Komodo dragon. Join guided treks alongside expert park rangers or unwind on Pink Beach, famous for its soft coral-coloured sands and crystal-clear shallows.

Day 10: At Sea

Experience more of Seven Seas Navigator’s impeccable facilities during another day at sea. Greet the sunrise with a yoga session, engage in a culinary masterclass, or relax in the spa sauna. Evenings come alive with five-star dining and cabaret shows in the ship’s elegant lounges.

Day 11-14: Northern Australia and At Sea

In Darwin, choose from nature-themed excursions like the Territory Wildlife Park or embark on a river cruise to catch sight of the famed jumping crocodiles. During your two days at sea, savour an expertly curated wine tasting at an extra charge or join in on a lively round of karaoke. 

In Cooktown, delve into Australia’s pioneering history with a guided tour, spotting landmarks like the James Cook Statue, the Jacky Store, and the Endeavour River, all tied to Captain Cook’s adventures. Take a moment to enjoy the backdrop of animal calls amidst rainforests, savannahs, and mangroves.

Day 15-17: The Great Barrier Reef

Embrace three days of wonder as you travel along Australia’s beautiful northeastern coast. Begin with a walk through Cairns and glide above ancient rainforest canopies on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, where nature is at its most prehistoric. In Airlie Beach, you’ll find yourself in a laid-back coastal town with markets and palm-fringed esplanades: the perfect launchpad to the Whitsundays.  

From here, sail to sun-drenched islands and hidden coves, where you can snorkel in among corals and tropical fish. The Great Barrier Reef itself is a marvel - home to a kaleidoscope of life unique to this corner of the world, where delicate reef systems sustain turtles, colourful marine creatures, and manta rays, making it the perfect place for nature lovers and explorers.

Day 18-20: Brisbane and At Sea

Relax and unwind on another leisurely day at sea. Take in the ocean views, indulge in onboard dining, or join a variety of activities – try your luck in the casino, stargaze on deck, or unleash your competitive swing on the Putting Green. When you arrive in Brisbane, take a stroll through riverside gardens, explore the thriving art scene, and don’t miss the chance to savour gourmet seafood at the South Bank precinct.

Back at sea, it’s the perfect time to recharge. Soak up the sun on the deck and reflect on your adventures in Brisbane as you sail to your final destination.

Day 21-25: Sydney

After your final leg aboard Seven Seas Navigator, luxuriate in four nights at the Shangri-La Hotel, with sweeping views of the harbour. At the iconic Sydney Opera House, take a backstage journey for a performer’s perspective. Spend an afternoon exploring the Royal Botanic Garden’s hidden corners, an oasis in the heart of the city. Conclude your journey with a dinner on Circular Quay, toasting the memories of your extraordinary cruise adventure.
