Fresh from its starring role in BBC One’s Celebrity Race Across the World, Borneo awaits. Where the racers battled the clock, you’ll relish the luxury of time.
Settle into an upgraded room at the five-star Shangri-La Rasa Ria, where the South China Sea laps at a private, three-kilometre shore. As twilight descends, wander Kota Kinabalu’s bustling night market, then dine on fragrant Malaysian cuisine as Sabah dancers move to time-honoured rhythms. Breathe the crisp mountain air beneath Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak between the Himalayas and New Guinea. Then, on Kinabatangan River, the rainforest sings you to sleep, and at first light, as mist lifts from the water, an orangutan may gaze down from the canopy.
At last, Silver Muse beckons from Singapore: your own butler, your private veranda, eight exquisite restaurants and Southeast Asia unfurling like a promise.
