Day 1 – Arrive Delhi
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be transferred to the hotel for check-in. This evening, join your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner.
Note: if you wish to spend more time in Delhi, ask your Personal Vacation Manager about the optional hotel extension – which will add one night to your Delhi hotel stay.


Day 2 – Delhi
After breakfast, discover the fascinating contrasts of Old and New Delhi. Wind through the lively streets of Old Delhi past the grand Jama Masjid Mosque and the ancient ruins of Kotla Firoze Shah, then pause at the peaceful Raj Ghat, where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948. In stately New Delhi, drive past the Presidential Palace and along Rajpath to the iconic India Gate for a photo stop, then explore the stunning Humayun’s Tomb, the masterpiece that inspired the Taj Mahal. After lunch at a local restaurant, marvel at the soaring Qutb Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before returning to the hotel. This evening, gather with the group for dinner at the hotel.


Day 3 – Delhi to Agra
Today you will travel to Agra by coach, a journey of about four hours. On arrival, explore the impressive Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the red sandstone stronghold of the Mughal emperors, with views across the Yamuna River toward the Taj Mahal. After lunch at the hotel and check-in, the afternoon is yours to rest and unwind at your own pace. This evening, gather with the group for dinner at the hotel.


Day 4 – Agra to Jaipur
Rise early for one of the most unforgettable moments of your Journey: seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise, as the first light of day warms its white marble. Electric shuttles take you to the entrance, keeping the walk short. Afterward, return to the hotel for a leisurely breakfast while your luggage is collected for you. Then set out for Jaipur, stopping along the way at Fatehpur Sikri, the remarkably preserved 16th-century Mughal capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a guided tour. After lunch at a local restaurant, you will continue by coach to Jaipur, with a comfort stop along the way. Arrive in the early evening, check in and join the group for dinner at the hotel.


Day 5 – Jaipur
After breakfast, travel to the honey-colored Amber Fort, rising above a tranquil lake in the hills just outside Jaipur. Built more than 400 years ago, this magnificent fortress-palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ride by jeep up to the fort gate, then explore its grand courtyards, ornate gateways and royal apartments, where India’s kings once lived in splendor. The highlight is the dazzling Chamber of Mirrors, its walls and ceilings covered in thousands of tiny mirrors said to sparkle like a starry sky by the light of a single candle. After lunch at a local restaurant, enjoy free time to browse the colorful local bazaar for textiles, jewelry and handcrafted treasures.


Day 6 – Jaipur
Your morning begins with a tour of Jaipur, the “Pink City.” Pause for photos at the Palace of Winds, an elaborate pink facade covered in delicate latticed windows, built so royal ladies could watch street life without being seen. Then visit the City Palace, still home to Jaipur’s royal family, where a museum displays exquisite paintings, rare manuscripts and royal costumes. Nearby, explore the fascinating observatory built nearly 300 years ago by the city’s founder, a king who was also a soldier, astronomer and builder, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, enjoy a fun tuk-tuk ride through the city streets before returning to the hotel for lunch. Spend the afternoon resting or exploring on your own, and end the day with a relaxed dinner together with your fellow travelers.


Day 7 – Jaipur to Delhi
Bid farewell to the Pink City this morning as you return to Delhi by coach, a journey of about five hours with a comfort stop along the way. Arrive in time for lunch at the hotel, then check in and enjoy a free afternoon to relax or pick up any last-minute essentials before tomorrow’s flight to Singapore. This evening, savor your final dinner in India with the group.


Day 8 – Delhi to Singapore
This morning, transfer to the airport for your flight to Singapore. On arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel, where the rest of the day is yours to settle in, rest after your flight or take a first stroll through this vibrant city. This evening, join your fellow travelers for dinner.


Day 9 – Singapore
Spend a full day discovering Singapore’s remarkable blend of cultures. Begin at Merlion Park, home to the city’s famous half-lion, half-fish statue, with sweeping views across Marina Bay. Then wander through the colorful streets of Little India, fragrant with spices and fresh flowers, and the historic lanes of Chinatown, filled with temples and traditional shops. After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the spectacular Gardens by the Bay, where the Flower Dome showcases blooms from around the world and the misty Cloud Forest features a towering indoor waterfall. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon, with the evening free to relax or explore on your own.


Day 10 – Singapore Embarkation
After breakfast, check out of the hotel and transfer to the port, where you will board the Celebrity Solstice.


Day 11–21 – Cruising onboard the Celebrity Solstice
Ports of call include Ko Samui and Bangkok (Laem Chabang), Thailand; Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Danang and Hanoi, Vietnam.


Day 13–14 – Laem Chabang: Exclusive Shore Excursion in Bangkok
The drive from the cruise port to Bangkok takes approximately two hours. While other guests on the ship will make the journey back and forth in a single day, you’ll enjoy an overnight stay right in the heart of the city, allowing for a more leisurely pace to explore and an evening immersed in Thai culture. Discover Bangkok’s iconic landmarks, including the magnificent Grand Palace and Wat Pho, while experiencing the country’s rich culinary traditions and cultural heritage. After your overnight and activities in Bangkok, you’ll be transferred back to the cruise ship to rejoin your sailing and continue your journey to Vietnam.


Day 22 – Hong Kong Disembarkation
Arrive in Hong Kong on the Lunar New Year’s Day, as the city welcomes the Year of the Earth Monkey with red lanterns and festive decorations. After disembarking, drop off your luggage at the hotel and set out to explore. Take a traditional sampan boat ride through the Aberdeen fishing village, then ride the historic Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak for breathtaking views over the skyline and harbor. Enjoy a dim sum lunch with Chinese tea, followed by time to browse the stalls of seaside Stanley Market. Later, check into your hotel and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the city at your own pace.A


Day 23 – Hong Kong
Experience the festive spirit of Lunar New Year with a visit to Wong Tai Sin Temple, bustling with locals praying for good luck and health in the year ahead. Continue to Tsim Sha Tsui to admire the Spring Festival Lantern Display at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, featuring vibrant lanterns shaped like galloping horses, bats, and dancing lions, showcasing Hong Kong’s traditional lantern-making craftsmanship.
The afternoon is free for you to explore Hong Kong independently and experience the city’s Lunar New Year festivities at your own pace.


Day 24 – Hong Kong
Check out the hotel transfer to the airport for your flight home.
Note: if you wish to spend more time in Hong Kong, ask your Personal Vacation Manager about the optional hotel extension – which will add one night to your Hong Kong hotel stay.

What to Know Before You Go
Walking on different types of land, roads, and landmarks will be part of the trip, especially in India.
Porterage Service in Hong Kong: Enrichment Journeys arranges porterage service whenever available. However, porterage is not routinely provided at all hotels in Hong Kong, including some five-star properties, and availability may be further limited during Lunar New Year. Our local guides and drivers can assist with luggage when needed, but guests should be prepared to handle their own bags if porterage is unavailable.
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. Based on crowds and traffic, order of visits may be changed. You may have to walk a moderate distance to transfer to coach stations and airport terminals. 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.
Wheelchair access at many sites is limited. 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.
Included 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.
To travel internationally, you must have a passport in good condition, and it must be valid for at least 6 months after the last day of your trip. Visa requirements change frequently and for various reasons. As a result, our Personal Vacation Managers are not always able to provide visa information. The best way to obtain up-to-date information regarding visa requirements is to visit the official US government website for Americans traveling abroad, Travel.State.Gov (Canadian citizens should visit https://travel.gc.ca/, for all other countries please visit your government website or local embassy), which details specific information on the countries you would like to visit, including visa requirements. You may also use a third-party visa service, such as Expedited Travel. These services require an additional service fee but make the process of applying for a visa much simpler.
To extend a hotel stay at the beginning or end of your Journey, please speak to a Personal Vacation Manager for assistance in making those arrangements.
