Singapore to Fremantle (Perth)

Advanced, airy, and elevated, Singapore is a spectacular, futuristic vision of utopian city life. A healthy population of almost six million calls it home, but this is a city designed with space to breathe—gorgeous outdoor parks, massive indoor greenhouses, and beautiful recreational spaces spread between the City of Gardens’ skyscrapers and soaring structures. Once a quiet fishing village, now a glistening island city-state and an international beacon of science, education, and technology. Singapore is almost intimidatingly clean—and the hyper-efficient public transport system whips residents and visitors across the city’s neighborhoods in a heartbeat.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. Whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.

Bali—also known as the Island of the Gods, Land of a Thousand Temples, and the world’s last paradise—lives up to its many superlatives. Verdant mountains with terraced rice fields in one direction, black-sand beaches in another, and captivating people who humble even the most seasoned traveler. The island’s rich and diverse culture sets it apart from Indonesia’s many other tropical paradises. An estimated 10,000 Buddhist-Hindu temples, with daily offerings of lotus flowers and fruit, testify to the gentleness of the islanders’ beliefs.

The vibrant arts and crafts scene—especially in Ubud, though prolific everywhere—offers ideal souvenirs, from gorgeous silver jewelry to intricate wood carvings. Try to see a traditional dance performance, particularly with live gamelan music. And do not miss the food: from elaborate meals to street-food bites, everything is ambrosial. Sample succulent chicken satay, betutu (said to be a king’s favorite), and sambal matah—flavors that linger long after you return home.

Coming in at number seven on Lonely Planet’s list of best places to live, Fremantle has begun to step out from the shadow of neighboring Perth. With just 20 kilometers between the two, Perth—with its laid-back vibe—has long drawn visitors. But Fremantle’s colorful past and bright future now rival its big brother.
