A Voyage Through Diverse Cultures and Landscapes

This year's itinerary led travellers to a multitude of impressive locations. These included vibrant cities in Brazil and Argentina, remote Polynesian islands, the natural landscapes of New Zealand and Australia, as well as natural wonders in South Africa and Namibia.
