From there, travelers will explore parts of Japan and the Philippine Sea before venturing through the South Pacific and Australia. The cruise will visit Bali and make various stops in Asia and the Middle East. Once cruising in the Indian Ocean, passengers will enjoy Madagascar, throughout Africa, and up into the Mediterranean before making a final “transatlantic crossing.”
