Immerse yourself in the colourful world of Papeete in French Polynesia, with its memorable hues and scents, and marvel at the spectacular Sydney Opera House. Savour Singapore's magical cocktail of mystical past and fast-paced modernity, and discover the mysteries of Mumbai and India's ancient culture. Finally, sail through the breathtaking Suez Canal and get ready to return to Europe with a lifetime's worth of incredible memories.
