Transfers As BBC One’s Celebrity Race Across the World sets out through Borneo’s rainforests, this journey invites you to experience the island in an altogether different spirit: unhurried, immersive and quietly luxurious.
Five nights in Malaysian Borneo begin at the five-star Shangri-La Rasa Ria, where a secluded beach gives way to a lush forest reserve. Kota Kinabalu reveals its charms after dark, while botanical trails wind beneath the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Venture deeper to the Kinabatangan River, gliding through the jungle in the late afternoon in search of orangutans, proboscis monkeys and hornbills. A night at a riverside lodge lulls you to sleep with the rainforest’s chorus, before you return to the water at first light, as the jungle stirs into life.
The perfect accompaniment follows: a five-star stay in Singapore, then an all-inclusive voyage onboard Celebrity Solstice through Thailand and Vietnam, from the beaches of Ko Samui to the temples of Bangkok and imperial Huế.
As the sun sets over Sabah’s capital, your evening begins at Kota Kinabalu’s colourful night market, a treasure trove of trinkets, crafts and souvenirs, perfect for a spot of bargain hunting. A scenic drive through the city follows, passing Australia Place, a historic landmark that offers a glimpse into Kota Kinabalu’s wartime heritage and the enduring ties between Sabah and Australia. Dinner is a sumptuous Malaysian feast, accompanied by a vibrant performance of traditional Sabah dances. Afterwards, return to your hotel or linger in town to enjoy the city’s lively nightlife at your own pace.
Leave the city behind on a scenic two-hour drive along winding mountain roads through the Crocker Range, passing rural villages and paddy fields. Along the way, stop at Nabalu Market, where local people sell fresh fruit, home-grown vegetables and handcrafted souvenirs. On arrival at Kinabalu Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll feel the refreshing change in the mountain air as you explore the nature trails of the Botanical Garden. On a clear day, you may glimpse Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak between the Himalayas and New Guinea. After lunch, continue to the Poring area for a 15-minute rainforest walk to the secluded Kipungit Waterfall.
Fly to Sandakan and step into Borneo’s wild heart. At the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, watch rescued orangutans swing through the canopy to the feeding platform as they prepare for life back in the wild. Next door, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre offers a rare glimpse of the world’s smallest bear in its forest home. Continue to Bilit on the Kinabatangan, Sabah’s longest river, for a late-afternoon cruise in search of proboscis monkeys, hornbills, crocodiles and, with luck, wild orangutans or pygmy elephants. Spend the night at Bilit Adventure Lodge, lulled by the sounds of the jungle.
Optional extras (payable locally): Guided night walk or tree planting
Wake to the calls of gibbons and birdsong for an early cruise on the Kinabatangan, when wildlife is at its most active. After breakfast, return to Sandakan to explore its past, from the moving Sandakan Memorial Park to the hilltop Puu Jih Shih Temple, with sweeping views over the bay. Visit St Michael’s, one of Sabah’s oldest churches, browse the bustling Central Market, and discover colonial life at Agnes Keith House, before ending with refreshments and a final view at the English Tea House.
