Don't miss
There’s some serious green space in Singapore and it always feels as if the jungle is just waiting for us to turn our backs for a moment to take over. Seek out the parks and the gardens.

Voyage Itinerary
Before you board
One night in Singapore
Fly to Singapore where you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel for an overnight stay. The following day transfer to the pier and board Greg Mortimer to begin your voyage.
11 November to 12 November
Singapore: Singapore
Singapore’s heritage as an important trading post means that there is a real cultural mix, with four official languages: English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Step away from the gleaming towers and you’ll find yourself transported into another world amongst the intoxicating streets of Chinatown and Little India.
13 November - At sea
14 November
Indonesia: Belitung
The island of Belitung lies roughly halfway between Sumatra and Borneo, and is home to some of Indonesia’s most striking beaches, where the white sands are in stark contrast with the giant granite rocks. The crystal clear waters are also perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
15 November
Indonesia: Kumai
Kumai is situated on the south coast of Indonesian Borneo, and serves as a jumping off point for Tanjung Puting National Park, home to the Camp Leakey research station and conservation centre. Established in 1971, this facility allows scientists and students to study primates including orangutans and proboscis monkeys.
16 November to 17 November
Indonesia: Tanjung Wangi
18 November - At sea
19 November
Indonesia: Sumbawa
Sumbawa is just to the east of Bali and Lombok, though the island is drier, less developed and more conservative than its neighbours. It’s a popular spot for surfers, and home to sleepy villages where locals weave indigo cloth and build traditional wooden boats by hand.
20 November
Indonesia: Saleh Bay (Sumbawa)
Saleh Bay is a vast expanse of sea on the northern side of Sumbawa island, semi-enclosed and scattered with uninhabited islands. The main attraction here is the marine life, and in particular the chance to see magnificent whale sharks in their natural habitat.
21 November
Indonesia: Komodo Island
Komodo Island is situated within an area of spectacular natural beauty, home to the famous Komodo dragon. The stunning beaches are tinged with pink thanks to the high concentration of red coral just offshore, and the waters draw intrepid divers from all over the world.
22 November
Indonesia: Tinabo Island
Tinabo Island is part of Taka Bonerate National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the world’s third largest coral atoll. The reserve is home to some 240 species of coral and over 500 species of fish, along with turtles, giant clams, dolphins, manta rays, sharks and sperm whales.
23 November
Indonesia: Wakatobi National Park
24 November
Indonesia: Buru Island
25 November
Indonesia: Misool
Misool is one of the main islands in the Raja Ampat archipelago, surrounded by some of the most spectacular coral reefs on earth. Snorkel, swim and kayak amongst these rich, biodiverse waters, and explore white sandy beaches, mangroves, lakes and jungle-clad limestone peaks.
26 November
Indonesia: Sorong
26 November
Indonesia: Denpasar, Bali
Before you return

Disembark in Sorong and transfer to the airport for your flight to Bali where you will enjoy an overnight hotel stay. The following day, transfer to Bali Denpasar Airport for your flight back to the UK.
The ship
Greg Mortimer
- Capacity:
- 130 Guests
- Crew:
- 95 Staff
- Style:
- Relaxed, authentic, cosy - a totally unpretentious and educational experience for true adventurers.
Named in honour of AE Expeditions' founder, the Greg Mortimer is an exciting purpose-built expedition ship with a revolutionary design.
What we love
Just take a look at the pictures - quite different from anything we have seen before, with a revolutionary patented X-BOW design which has a number of benefits. Not only does it increase passenger comfort by eliminating slamming in heavy seas, but also the journey time is reduced so uncomfortable rides in heavy seas are minimised. This also results in environmental benefits, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
On board, AE Expeditions' guests will enjoy the company's established style - a comfortable, friendly and laid-back vibe in the company of like-minded travellers, for whom the time ashore is everything. The focus is on small group exploration, with a commitment to getting off the ship as much as possible for up close and personal encounters with wilderness and wildlife.

Our favourite hotel in Singapore
So many wonderful hotels. We like a lot of them, but our choice is the Fullerton.

How can we help?
Our frequently asked questions
From expedition tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions.
visit our faqs
Can you help with pre and post-cruise arrangements?
Absolutely. Expedition cruises often start and end in remote destinations, and we're able to arrange everything from flights and transfers to hotels and tours. If you're keen to make the most of your time away with bespoke arrangements, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and we offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24-hour emergency contact, to give you complete peace of mind.
Will I save by booking with Mundy Adventures?
You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line, as well as enjoying more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.
How much time is spent ashore?
Itineraries are planned to deliver an unforgettable experience of the destination, so days are filled with landings ashore via the ship's fleet of Zodiacs (sturdy rubber boats) or exploration along the coastline. It will vary depending on itinerary and operators, so it's best to contact us to discuss but rest assured an expedition cruise is focused on the time you spend off the ship.
