About This Journey

The mystique of Bali awaits. From spectacular ancient temples to a lush tropical rainforest housing some of the world’s most unique and exotic wildlife, to emerald rice terraces and brilliant, pristine beaches, Bali is a destination unlike any other. Experience the welcoming and spiritual culture of this captivating Indonesian island in between soaking up the sun on top-rated beaches like Sanur, Jimbaran, Kuta and others. This Enrichment Journey includes plenty of free time in Bali to put your toes in the sand, stroll alongside cerulean waters and take a dip in the pool of your 4-star resort. Savor the national dish Nasi Goreng (fried rice), fresh tropical fruit, locally made noodles, crisp spring rolls or a refreshing watermelon slushie. Explore the inner island as we venture to volcanos, lakes and the Ubud Monkey Forest. Along the way, you’ll visit several local villages to learn about Balinese culture and daily life. Visit a coffee plantation, peruse the local market and witness a performance of Barong, a traditional storytelling dance. Of course, no trip to Bali would be complete without admiring some of its more-than-20,000 magnificent temples—like Tirta Empul, Tanah Lot and Pura Ulun Danu Beratan—that are scattered along picturesque shorelines, atop sky-scraping mountains and shrouded in lush forests. Your cruise onboard the Celebrity Millennium visits some of Southeast Asia’s most beautiful islands, including Lombok, Langkawi and Phuket. In Singapore, you’ll visit UNESCO World Heritage sites, colonial treasures and enjoy the view from atop one of Singapore’s most eye-catching works of modern architecture.

What to Expect

Pacing

Most days during the land portion will include full-day tours. The overall pace is rather quick, as there is much to see in these regions, however there is a healthy mix of both visits to historical sites and time to enjoy the landscape and scenery. Most days include two meals, allowing the third meal to be at your leisure. All hotels will have a restaurant on property where you may dine, then have the rest of the evening to relax. If you wish to go out, your guide is available to make suggestions for nearby dining.

During the cruise you will have a mix of relaxing days at sea and exciting days on land to explore the port cities. You may choose from optional shore excursions, which will allow for cultural immersion, exotic meals and numerous activities.

Physical Activity

The land portion of the trip should be considered active and includes a considerable amount of walking. Enrichment Journeys will do everything in our power to ensure comfort through our third-party providers, including air-conditioned buses and comfortable accommodations where applicable. However, some areas cannot be accessed by coach, so our drivers will get you as close to sites as is legally allowed. Sensible, rubber-soled walking shoes are strongly recommended. Historical sites often do not have elevators, escalators, or ramps due to the age of the building/structure. Steps can be steep and uneven. Wheelchair access at many sites is limited to extremely limited. Based on crowds and traffic, order of visits may be changed. A fold-up wheelchair may be able to be stored on the bus but requires prior arrangements. Guests must be able to transfer from their chair to the transportation. Guides/drivers are not allowed to lift or push wheelchairs, so guests requiring physical assistance must travel with a companion who can assist. Motorized wheelchairs and scooters cannot be accommodated on this group program. For the cruise portion of the trip, passengers will board and leave the ship up stairways and gangways, and you may have to walk a moderate distance to transfer to train, bus and car stations. Time spent on the road and traveling can be long, so you will need to be prepared for stretches of down time in between destinations.

Cultural Focus

The Enrichment Journeys program in Bali will include visits to numerous temples and local villages, a performance of a traditional dance, and delicious local dishes. You will encounter food and ingredients typical to the region that you may not have encountered before, and you will be introduced to local artistry of the region. Enrichment Journeys encourages an open mind when in unique situations and meeting people abroad. Sometimes the attractions, beaches, and cities themselves can be crowded, especially while on the cruise.

Unique Factors

Although Bali and many other ports of call during the cruise are beach destinations, please remember to dress conservatively when visiting the temples. If you have special needs or physical limitations, you will need to check in with your personal vacation manager before booking the trip. The temperature can vary between day and night, so pack accordingly with items that can be layered. Some guests may wish to have a light sweater or windbreaker with them.

Transportation

International Airfare: included international airfare is from select airports only. To inquire about a different airport, please contact your Personal Vacation Manager.

Enrichment Journeys is committed to providing remarkable experiences at extraordinary value. As a result, airlines and routes are selected to maximize that value and may involve multiple stops and extended layovers versus non-stop or direct flights. Passengers wishing to utilize specific carriers, direct/non-stop flights, Business Class upgrades, or to extend their time in any of our beginning or ending destination cities may do so by contacting Enrichment Journeys and inquiring about the Custom Airfare Program. There is a $100 per person charge for this service, however this charge will be applied toward any flights or upgrades you choose to purchase. The $100 charge must be paid prior to receiving a custom air quote.

Itinerary:

Day 1 – Singapore to Siem Reap

Check out of your hotel in Singapore before transferring to the airport for your flight to Siem Reap. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a professional, local guide and taken to your hotel. Check in to your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure.

Day 2 – Siem Reap

Bayon Temple

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, begin your day by touring the South Gate of Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, was a city of priests, military officials and residents of the Royal Palace. Pass through the South Gate, one of the four gates of Angkor Thom, before exploring the magnificent Bayon Temple. As you pass through the jungle, this sacred site emerges as one of the most impressive and mysterious temples. Visit the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of Leper King, courtyards of magnificent statues that date back to the 12th century.

Angkor Wat Temple

After a leisurely lunch, begin your tour of Angkor Wat, Cambodia’s ancient temple city and one of the wonders of the Oriental world. The awe-inspiring ruins survive as a testament to the spectacular achievements of Southeast Asia’s greatest civilization. Etched and carved in the temple facades are stories of Khmer epics and myths. The inside walls are adorned with stone images of celestial Apsara dancers. Angkor Wat’s five famous towers rise into the sky, a geometrical symbol of the peaks of Mount Meru. Take time to savor the intricacies and significance of Angkor Wat and witness a breathtaking sunset over the ancient ruins before enjoying dinner at a local restaurant.

After dinner, visit Angkor Night Market, the first and only true night market in Siem Reap. Finish your day by browsing an assortment of handicrafts, raw-silk fabrics, hand-made jewelry and custom art from over 100 vendors and shops. Perhaps, purchase a keepsake to remind you of your travels before returning to your hotel.

Day 3 – Siem Reap

Ta Prohm Temple

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before visiting Ta Prohm temple. Swallowed by the jungle, Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple dedicated to the mother of Jayavarman VII. The temple is cloaked in tree roots and moss, creating a poetic picture of nature reclaiming the ruins. Enjoy a visit to Les Santeurs d’Angko for some shopping before enjoying lunch.

Banteay Srey Temple

This afternoon you will visit Banteay Srey and Banteay Samre temples. Banteay Srey is the fabled “Pink Temple of Women,” so-called because it is made of pink sandstone and a tribute to the beauty of women. Its small size, delicate carvings, and remarkable state of preservation make this temple one of the most revered. Dedicated in 987, Banteay Srey is also one of the oldest temples in the region.

Apsara Dance

At one time, Banteay Samre was no more than ruins lost in the forest, but anastylosis restoration has transformed it into one of the finest monuments of the Angkor group. Its ornamentation, exceptional quality and preservation makes it one of the best representations of classic art from the finest period in Southeast Asian history. This evening, enjoy a special dinner with an Apsara Dance performance. This traditional dance style has been a part of local culture since the 7th century and is famous for its exquisite costumes.

Day 4 – Siem Reap to Singapore

Enjoy a relaxing morning before transferring to the airport for your flight to Singapore. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel. Enjoy the evening at your leisure.

Note: this extra night hotel stay may be at the beginning or end of the extension, in either Singapore or Siem Reap, depending on flight schedule availability and your home gateway.

Day 5 – Singapore

After breakfast at the hotel, enjoy the rest of the morning at leisure until check out. Transfer to the airport for your return flight home.

Note: While visiting the temples and ruins during days 2 and 3 of your extension, please dress respectfully by covering your arms and legs. We suggest wearing loose, breathable pants and shirts with long sleeves or 3/4-length sleeves.

The following hotel list is preliminary and subject to change. Although we contract for hotels a year or more in advance, unforeseen circumstances do occasionally require a change of hotel.

Before You Go

Money Matters

How you handle your currency and financials while on the trip is up to you. Some people prefer to exchange all their money in advance, while others will rely solely on credit cards. Consider calling your bank ahead of time to make them aware of your international travel, especially when using cards or withdrawing money.

ATM Machines

These are often readily available, especially in major cities. Some will charge fees on top of what your hometown bank may charge for using ATMs abroad. Look for well-marked machines that have the Visa or MasterCard symbols.

Foreign Banks

Currency can be exchanged at most banks, if needed. Ask a local host or tour manager if there is a nearby bank that is open.

Credit Cards

During your trip, you’ll find that most major credit cards are accepted. Call your specific card issuer ahead of time to find out its limitations and benefits overseas.

Incidentals

Do be aware that some additional charges for mini-bars, laundry and room service will not be included in the tour package. Plan accordingly for these extra charges.

Packing Guidelines

Pack as simply as possible for easy transfers and customs screenings. Check with your domestic and international carriers regarding baggage guidelines, allowances, and check for additional fees. All bags will be screened before boarding flights and the cruise ship.

What to pack

Basics and layers are key to a comfortable Journey. Be sure to check the weather in the destinations you will visit, and pack accordingly. There are always unpredictable variables as well, so make sure you have one sturdy jacket and an outfit for a formal occasion too, just in case.

Here are a few key items to take on your trip:

• Raincoat/poncho
• Hooded jacket/fleece pullover
• Pants with pockets
• Skirt with pockets
• Hat with visor & sunscreen/bug spray
• Warm socks
• Sturdy sandals
• Practical shoes for walking/easy hiking
• Extra pair of prescription sunglasses and/or glasses (if needed)
• Cameras

Have back-ups for everything to avoid disappointment. Charge batteries in advance and bring extra film or digital memory cards. If bringing a high-end camera, consider investing in insurance to protect your asset.

Luggage Screening Process

To pass through screening, have liquids either in small containers and bagged, or in checked luggage. All valuables necessary for the trip should be on your person at all times, if possible. This includes medications and documentation. We recommend one main bag and a carry-on, per airline guidelines for weight and size.

Labeling

Have all your bags labeled with your name and address clearly marked. Add something to you luggage that is recognizable in the event your bags are misplaced. You may also consider marking your bags with “Enrichment Journeys” for efficiency.

Carry-on items

In many countries, including the US, large liquid containers are not allowed in carry-ons. On the way back into the states, food or agriculture items are prohibited. If you have questions about a certain item, visit www.tsa.gov for a list of items that cannot be packed.

Airport transfers

Airport transfers are included as part of your Enrichment Journey. Local representatives will advise you of the departure time from your hotel the night before departure. Generally speaking, arrangements have been made to have you at the airport approximately three hours in advance of departure, though this may vary depending on local circumstances. At the end of the cruise, an airport transfer will also be provided. Please advise your Personal Vacation Manager if you do not require transfer arrangements at the time of booking your Journey.

Cell phones

Some cell phones will work overseas, but incur additional charges for the use. Choose whether you would like to add an international plan by calling your carrier, or consider purchasing a pay-as-you-go phone overseas. However, in some destinations, many smartphones and tablets can pick up wireless internet for free.

Protecting the Value of Your Travel Investment

Enrichment Journeys offers a comprehensive travel insurance package you can purchase alongside your trip. It eases the mind and lets you cancel your trip for a covered reason up until the departure date with a full refund of the Journey.

The insurance covers a wide variety of incidents, including travel delay, emergency medical services, and even baggage delay. You will also receive a pre-existing medical conditions waiver if travel insurance is purchased within 14 days of your initial deposit. For a full list of coverage provided, visit the FAQ section of the website.

Medical Issues and Handicaps

As with any extensive trip abroad, our excursions with Enrichment Journeys will require some physical capabilities, including transfers from cruise ships, walking on cobblestone streets and navigating through some busy cities with guides. Although we encourage all types of travelers to join us, we do ask you are aware of your own physical limitations. Unfortunately, we cannot provide individual care to those who may have walkers, wheelchairs or other aids. Enrichment Journeys also cannot accommodate pregnant women past their six month gestation period. Please speak with one of our Personal Vacation Managers to see if certain itineraries are suitable for you and your needs. We are happy to suggest other viable options for you that are more accessible.

Per the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, travelers have the right to be reasonably accommodated in terms of tours in public situations. However, the laws do not apply for trips and outside the United States. So you must let Enrichment Journeys know ahead of time of any physical limitations, including information added to our questionnaire that needs to be filled out by all passengers. Failure to inform Enrichment Journeys of these limitations could result in refusal to participate, whether it be at the airport through the airline, on board the ship or at the accommodations booked.

If you have any sort of prescription medication, this should be a number one priority in packing. Bring extra, just in case. A small medical kit is also advisable for quick access to remedy minor aches and pains.

Briefing sessions

A local host or tour manager will be happy to guide you through the trip and answer all of your questions. Upon arrival to your destination, an Enrichment Journeys representative will meet with the group and go over items such as the daily schedule, weather and local customs.

Hotels

All hotels booked by Enrichment Journeys are held to a high standard of comfort and quality, in accordance to international accommodation standards and rating systems. However, each accommodation varies so you may experience various types of properties throughout your excursions.
