Prices from $6,130 per person* in a Superior Stateroom with a sea view
From vibrant Papeete, cruise the crystal waters of French Polynesia, visit the remote Austral Islands where traditions still thrive, the sumptuous “motu piscine” reef islet of Raivavae, mysterious marine caves of Rurutu - a marine refuge for whales - and then onward to the incomparable beauty of famed Bora Bora. Truly a voyage in paradise.
CHINA & VIETNAM:

Departs 28 October 2020 / Aboard Le Lapérouse
Prices from $7,060 per person* in a Deluxe Stateroom with a private balcony
Encounter modern cities and age-old civilisations during this gastronomic and oenological cruise with Relais & Châteaux on this all-new itinerary. From futuristic Shanghai, to Wenzhou, gateway to the magnificent UNESCO listed landscapes of the Yandang Mountains, Xiamen, the former British colony Hong Kong, Hainan Island with its magnificent volcanoes, and Ha Long Bay, the jewel of Vietnam, this is a journey of exciting contrasts, ancient and new.
TREASURES OF THE PERSIAN GULF:
Dubai to Muscat / 8 nights
10 departures between November 2020 and January 2021 / Aboard
Le Jacques Cartier
Prices from $5,200 per person(1) in a Deluxe Stateroom with a private balcony
This voyage, straight from the Arabian Nights, includes Abu Dhabi, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and Grand Mosque, and the Sir Bani Yas Island nature reserve. In Doha visit the superb museum, home to treasures of Islamic art, and the Waqif souk in the old town. In Khasab, explore the sublime “fjords of Arabia” before arriving in the Gulf of Oman and the charming port of Sour. Here you will discover maritime traditions that date back a thousand years - dhows, typical boats used to transport goods on the spice route.
INDIA, MALDIVES & SRI LANKA:
Mumbai to Colombo / 12 nights
Departs 28 December 2020 / Aboard Le Lapérouse
Prices from $7,000 per person* in a Deluxe Stateroom with a private balcony.
Explore the subcontinent in style. Le Lapérouse has to be the perfect way to discover the diversity of cultures, architecture, colonial influences and enduring heritage of coastal India. From the former Portuguese colonies of Diu and Goa to the old town fortifications of Galle in Sri Lanka, and the 50 or so idyllic Maldive Islands and islets, the variety of experiences this itinerary offers will set your mind racing. UNESCO listed biosphere sites vie with places like Cochin, a former royal town where the air is rich with the aroma of cardamom and cloves, and fishing villages perched along the banks of the network of lakes and canals that criss-cross the lush landscapes of Kerala. Stimulation for all the senses.
JEWELS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN:
Port Louis to Zanzibar / 14 nights
Departs 29 March 2021 / Aboard Le Jacques Cartier
Prices from $9,090 per person* in a Deluxe Stateroom with a private balcony
Mauritius, Reunion Island, Madagascar…. surely enough said to tempt even the most travelled adventurers to sign on for this cruise. Turtles, dolphins, rays and dugong will set the scene at sea while volcanic pitons, cirques, pristine beaches and colonial remnant harbour towns will have you reaching for yet another memory card for your camera. Île Sainte-Marie, once a lair of pirates, has successfully retained its authentic character, while on Madagascar’s west coast you will discover Nosy Mitsio and its immaculate beaches. Nosy Komba, home to the agile lemur, will be another highlight. Yet there is more, for this voyage ends in exotic Zanzibar, a city comfortable with its blend of millennial-old cultures, African, Arab, Indian and European.
