BBC’s Celebrity Race Across the World series is back, and once again it offers a glimpse of some of the most remarkable corners of the globe. This series, a new cast of celebrity travellers sets out from the rainforests of Borneo, bound for Melbourne, with no phones, no flights and only a modest budget to see them through.
As you watch, you may well find yourself thinking of the places you would like to see for yourself: ancient rainforests, elegant island harbours, vibrant cities, and spectacular coastlines. You may also feel that such places deserve rather more time than a race allows.
We agree. Our cruise holidays follow much the same route, at a far more civilised pace. You travel from port to port in comfort, wake to a new view each morning and spend your days exploring with knowledgeable guides. Your evenings are yours to enjoy over fine food and good company, with every detail arranged for you.
Imagine Cruising is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the BBC or Race Across the World. We simply love the show, and the extraordinary places it inspires us to explore.
The race set off this week from Kuching, where Borneo’s ancient rainforest meets the river. If you’d like to see it for yourself, explore our collection below or speak to one of our experts to begin your own Borneo story.
Cruise & Touring
07 January 2028 | 20 Nights 
Sicily → Mongolia
They followed the old caravan roads of the Silk Road, leaving Mediterranean warmth for Istanbul, Tbilisi and the cities of Central Asia. The journey ended on the frozen steppe, at the still waters of Lake Hövsgöl.
China to India
On the leanest budget yet, teams set off from the Great Wall into a typhoon. They climbed to Shangri-La, sat by the ghats of Varanasi and finally reached the point where India meets three seas.
Japan → Indonesia
From the snows of Sapporo to the barefoot calm of Gili Meno, the journey traced the Ring of Fire through Korea, Cambodia, Thailand and Sumatra. Thousands of miles came down to eight minutes.
Coast to coast across Canada
Pacific to Atlantic, across six time zones. The route led through the misted forests of Haida Gwaii, the gold rush streets of Dawson City and the frozen edge of Churchill, until the land ran out at St John’s.
Mexico City → Ushuaia
From the castle ramparts of Chapultepec, teams travelled the length of a continent towards the end of the world. After two months on the road, the race was decided by mere seconds.
London → Singapore
It began beneath the colonnades of Greenwich. Fifty days and 12,000 miles later, through Greece, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, China and Cambodia, the first racers stood blinking beneath the towers of Marina Bay Sands.
