Begin your journey with an included economy class airfare ex selected cities in Australia or New Zealand to Manila. Spend two nights in Manila before setting sail on a 21-night luxury expedition cruise from Manila to Darwin aboard Silver Cloud, where Silversea blends immersive exploration with refined comfort. This incredible journey ventures deep into the remote islands and wild coastlines of Southeast Asia, revealing dazzling coral reefs, rainforest-covered landscapes and vibrant cultures rarely visited by larger ships.
Your voyage begins in Manila before exploring some of the Philippines’ most pristine natural wonders, including the spectacular coral gardens of Apo Reef, the lush island of Sibuyan, and the whale-shark waters of Donsol. Continue to idyllic Kalanggaman Island and historic Bohol before sailing to Borneo, where Sandakan and the Kinabatangan River offer opportunities to encounter orangutans, proboscis monkeys and extraordinary rainforest wildlife.
Further south, the journey reveals the cultural richness and dramatic landscapes of Indonesia. Discover the unique traditions of Tana Toraja in Sulawesi, snorkel remote islands such as Sabalana and Pulau Satonda, and visit Bali before coming face-to-face with the legendary Komodo dragons on Komodo Island. The expedition continues through lesser-known islands including Lamalera, Kalabahi and Kupang, before crossing the Timor Sea to Australia’s tropical frontier in Darwin.
Throughout the voyage, Silversea’s expedition team leads enriching explorations by Zodiac and kayak, bringing you closer to wildlife, reefs and remote communities. On board, enjoy spacious ocean-view suites with personal butler service, gourmet dining across multiple restaurants, premium beverages and wines, enrichment lectures, complimentary Wi-Fi and gratuities — all delivered with Silversea’s renowned nearly one-to-one crew-to-guest service.
On arrival in Darwin, explore this northern town with four nights accommodation included as well as a full day exploration of Kakadu National Park. Search for saltwater crocodiles in the billabong, admire the ancient rock art, visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre and experience the vastness of the wetlands, waterfalls and towering cliffs of the park.
