Sri Lanka unfolds best slowly, from hill-country trains and a dawn safari to ancient citadels rising above the jungle; this holiday pairs the island’s wonders with an immersive cruise across Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
At the heart of your discovery lie two scenic railways. The first climbs from Kandy into the cool tea country around Nuwara Eliya; the second winds on to the hill-station village of Ella, past tea gardens and waterfalls. The mood shifts in Yala National Park, where every stir hints at elephants close by, or a leopard moving unseen. Then come quieter pleasures: cresting Sigiriya, the painted ceilings of Dambulla Cave Temple, and cooking curries in a family’s kitchen.
Diamond Princess® then carries you across sun-warmed seas, from the gleaming towers of Kuala Lumpur to Phuket’s beaches and the colonial boulevards of Ho Chi Minh City.
