There’s a fine line between an extravagant holiday and a journey so luxurious it sets a new benchmark for indulgence. The Regent Seven Seas Explorer’s 60-night Grand Voyage from Tokyo to Sydney is, quite frankly, the latter. This isn’t just a cruise—it’s an odyssey. A floating five-star experience where the only thing you’ll need to lift is a champagne flute (and perhaps an eyebrow when someone dares suggest an ‘excursion’ that involves physical exertion).
Setting Sail in Style – Tokyo to Sydney
A journey that spans 13 countries, 46 ports, and countless glasses of perfectly chilled Sauvignon Blanc, this Grand Voyage is a masterclass in how to travel without ever lifting a finger. If you’ve ever wanted to wake up to Tokyo’s neon skyline, sip fine wine in Australia, and let your butler handle the in-between, then this is your calling.
Japan – 14 Days of Elegance and Etiquette
We begin in Tokyo, a city that somehow balances the serenity of ancient temples with the chaos of Shibuya Crossing. From there, you’ll experience Shimizu’s breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, Kyoto’s historic shrines, and Nagasaki’s poignant past—all while returning to the ship’s sumptuous suites, Michelin-level dining, and personal butler service (because, really, who wants to make their own bed?).
A Quick Dip into South Korea – Busan for the Day
A brief but delicious stop in Busan, where you can soak up the coastal views, indulge in authentic Korean BBQ, and pretend you’ll fit into your evening-wear after that third helping of marinated beef.
Taiwan & China – East Asia at its Finest
The ship docks in Taipei and Kaohsiung, where towering skyscrapers meet centuries-old temples. Next, we drift into Hong Kong, a city that oozes opulence at every turn. Perhaps some high tea at The Peninsula? Or a little retail therapy in Tsim Sha Tsui? Decisions, decisions…
Vietnam – A Sensory Delight
Five days in Vietnam bring Halong Bay’s ethereal limestone islands, Ho Chi Minh City’s buzzing energy, and Nha Trang’s golden beaches. The cuisine is reason enough to extend your stay—pho, banh mi, and spring rolls that will make you consider permanent relocation.
Singapore & Thailand – The High Life
A two-day indulgence in Singapore gives you time to sip cocktails at Marina Bay Sands, stroll through Gardens by the Bay, and shop as if you’ve just inherited a small fortune. Then, it’s onto Thailand’s Bangkok and Koh Samui, where golden temples and pristine beaches remind you that life really doesn’t get much better than this.
Malaysia & Indonesia – Culture, Nature, and a Touch of the Exotic
From Kuala Lumpur’s towering Petronas Towers to Bali’s blissful beaches and spiritual retreats, this segment of the journey is a harmonious mix of adventure and absolute idleness. Komodo Island even offers a chance to meet the famed dragons—because nothing says ‘luxury’ like casually spotting a prehistoric predator between spa appointments.
Australia – The Grand Finale
After weeks of sun, sea, and enough gourmet meals to make a Michelin inspector weep with joy, we reach Australia. With stops in Darwin, Brisbane, and Cairns, there’s plenty to explore before Sydney welcomes you in all its Opera House-glory. By this point, you’ll either be considering your next Regent cruise or contemplating why anyone ever travels without a private butler.
A Final Thought – Why Settle for Anything Less?
This isn’t just a cruise—it’s a lifestyle. A 60-night extravaganza of culture, cuisine, and carefree indulgence, wrapped up in one of the most luxurious ships to grace the oceans. Because, as they say, life’s too short for bad wine and economy class.
