The
Floating World of Asia - Sojourn the Seas in Search of Mystery, Adventure,
Dragons and Mythical Wonder
|
Travel
like the explorers of centuries past who sailed the seas of the Far East eager
to discover the great unknown. Embark on a voyage to Eastern Indonesia, where you
will find the famous Spice Islands or encounter the primeval looking Komodo
Dragons. Experience the exotic cultures of South East Asia as you cruise along
the Mekong that runs through China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand,
Cambodia and Vietnam. Savour a slice of Kashmiri lifestyle on board a luxury houseboat on Dal Lake and approach the "venerable city" of Srinagar.
All these experiences are possible with the deluxe touch of Secret Retreats, who invite guests on a journey of adventure and mythical wonder as they explore the floating worlds of Asia.
Silolona

The
Silolona is a modern incarnation of Indonesia's majestic sailing ships which

The
Jahan - Mekong River Cruise
A
product of a hopelessly romantic tale, the Jahan was the original name of a boatin which the mesmerising Lady Kashmira and British poet Lord Byron eloped when their love was not accepted by her aristocratic ancestors. A harmonious
blend of luxury, elegance and sensuality, it is hard not to feel of noble
descent as you are served your Royal High Tea, prepared to perfection every
afternoon.
