There is so much to do during your two-night stay in Singapore, whether you spend your time watching the world go past in a funky bar or hitting all the popular sights – the choice is yours.

Cruise to India

After planning your time in Singapore, you can take your explorer’s hat off and let Celebrity Cruises take over.

Step onboard the recently renovated Celebrity Millennium and set sail across the Malaysian Peninsula to experience the wonders of the Spice Route.

From Singapore to Mumbai, Celebrity Millennium whisks you away for 14-nights to bucket-list destinations such as Phuket, Thailand and Cochin, India.

Phuket offers stunning beaches where you can dive or snorkel under the blue waters while The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is well worth the visit to appreciate the support that aged and injured elephants receive.

Of course, you can’t go to Phuket without visiting one of many bustling beach bars and partying the day away on stunning golden sands to the music of various famous DJs – take us there now!

Cochin, or Kochi, in India, is home to countless fascinating traditions and festivals such as colourful performances and dances.

Observe the impressive religious diversity in Cochin, with Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues and Hindu temples dotted around the centre.

Celebrity Millennium

Celebrity Millennium is the perfect base to investigate India, with a plethora of wellness and stunning onboard spaces such as the Sunset Bar, Rendezvous Lounge and newly redesigned spa.

This mid-sized ship, with a capacity of 2,218, features an array of ideal retreats at sea such as the Ocean View Stateroom, Concierge Class Stateroom or AquaClass Stateroom.

In fact, Celebrity Millennium was part of the staggering $500 million fleet-wide modernisation programme, so you can be sure that your base is refreshed and exciting.

Inspired by the incredible regions visited, Celebrity Millennium’s cuisine is extensive. Opt for Italian at the Tuscan Grille or sample Japanese cuisine at Sushi at Five – the choice is yours.

India cruise and stay

When you arrive in Mumbai, disembark and hop on a plane to the capital city, New Delhi – easy.

From Delhi, you visit an eclectic mix of destinations, such as Agra, Sawai Madhopur, Ranthambhore, Jaipur, Jantar Mantar, Agra and Delhi.

What sights you’ll see! Don’t forget to snap a picture with the Taj Mahal at sunset – fun fact, cars and buses must stay at least 500 meters away from the monument so make the most of the picturesque walk.

You even visit a ghost city; traversing the abandoned Fatehpur Sikri you’ll find it hard to believe this city used to be bustling with action before being gradually deserted. Despite its desolation, Fatehpur Sikri holds a host of majestic buildings that are extremely well preserved – so it’s well worth the visit.

Fancy seeing some wild animals? Jump on a jeep safari in Ranthambhore National Park and see if you can spot any roaming tigers.

Feel like a royal as you peruse the halls of Maharaja’s City Palace, the previous residence of rulers, and wander around the section of the Palace that has been converted into a museum to learn more.

Ensure you visit the lively market in old Delhi where you can pick up everything from jewellery to spices and remember the legendary Mahatma Gandhi as you stand on the black marble that marks the location he was cremated, following his assassination in 1948.

So go on, experience something completely new and expand your knowledge of culture, architecture and wildlife.
