Overpacking? We see you!🧳

It starts with good intentions and somehow the suitcase ends up so full you could almost need another one.

If Japan is on your mind, now is the perfect time to start planning for 2027 🏯🍜

Heather B is our Japan specialist and shares a deep passion for Japan’s sights, people and of course the delicious food. From tasting her way through Osaka’s Kuromon Market to peaceful early morning walks in Nara alongside the friendly Sika deer, she loves it all!

One of the most popular times to visit is Cherry Blossom season 🌸 The beautiful Sakura transform parks, temples and city streets into magical pink landscapes. It’s an incredible experience but also one of the busiest times to travel and often books out 9–12 months ahead.

If you prefer quieter experiences, Heather recommends exploring small-town Japan by cruise or travelling during Autumn when the golden leaves colour the landscape 🍁⛩️

Japan is also a wonderful destination for solo travellers offering a safe and easy way to explore while unpacking only once aboard a small-ship cruise 🚢

If Japan is on your bucket list for 2027, Heather would love to help make it happen.

There are places where time feels like it stands still. Antarctica is one of them ❄️

One of the first questions is how to get there. This fly, stay and cruise journey makes it easier ✈️🚢

Fly to Santiago and enjoy a night in a five-star hotel before taking a charter flight to Puerto Williams, where you board Silver Cloud.

Over 10 nights, explore the Antarctic Sound, Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands 🧊 Cross the Drake Passage, see penguins, seals and whales 🐧🐋 and head out on Zodiac excursions with the expedition team.

The landscapes are just as striking, with icebergs, glaciers and endless shades of blue and white. In December, you may even see penguin chicks on the ice.

On board, everything is taken care of with butler service in every suite, all meals and drinks included and a relaxed atmosphere ✨

Looking for a longer journey? Extend your trip with 7 nights in San Pedro de Atacama before your expedition cruise 🌄 Explore the Andes, salt lakes, volcanoes and the Moon Valley, with its desert landscapes, flamingos and geothermal fields.

What if your Polynesian journey could feel more authentic, more local and a little different from the traditional cruise experience?

⚓ At Ultimate Cruising, we specialise in unique ways to explore French Polynesia, including the Marquesas, Gambier and Pitcairn Islands aboard a mixed cargo ship — part working vessel, part passenger cruise.

Aboard Aranui 5, sail through the Marquesas Islands, known for their volcanic peaks, rich culture and remote landscapes with departures available in 2027. 🏝️

Or from 2027, step aboard Aranoa and travel even further to the Austral, Gambier and Pitcairn Islands, some of the most remote islands in the South Pacific. 🌊

📍 Aranui 5 – Marquesas Islands: https://tinyurl.com/3wbbmnuk

📍 Aranoa – Austral, Gambier & Pitcairn Islands: https://tinyurl.com/267pkh8m

It’s a chance to experience island life more closely with local insights and a strong connection to Polynesian culture and communities. Nearly all the crew are Polynesian, creating a warm and genuine atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the South Pacific.

Explore a different way to experience French Polynesia with our curated Aranui journeys. ✨

Hong Kong to Singapore: Between Reefs and Rainforests

Sometimes, when a cruise itinerary focuses on one specific region, it naturally leads us to explore other places in Southeast Asia that deserve just as much attention.

🛳️ At Ultimate Cruising, we’re featuring a new 15-day luxury expedition from Hong Kong to Singapore aboard Silver Muse.

Beginning in Hong Kong, where tradition and modern life sit side by side, the journey continues through Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia, before arriving in Singapore, the “Garden City”.

Highlights include the coral-rich waters of Coron 🐠, the underground river and rainforest of Puerto Princesa 🌿, encounters with orangutans and sun bears in Sandakan and the cultural depth of Kota Kinabalu — each destination offering a unique perspective of Southeast Asia.

What makes this journey especially appealing is its sense of flexibility, giving you time to fully experience each destination at a relaxed pace ⏳ with the option to extend your holiday before and or after the cruise.

The Antarctica Fly Cruise aboard the Silver Endeavour offers one of the most exceptional ways to experience the White Continent — flying directly into Antarctica and avoiding the Drake Passage altogether. ✈️❄️

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Antarctica but were hesitant about days at sea, this journey is designed for you. Instead of crossing the Drake Passage, you’ll travel via Santiago and Puerto Williams, including an overnight stay at The Cormorant at 55 South before continuing on a charter flight directly to King George Island, the true gateway to Antarctica. 🏔️

From the moment you arrive, the experience feels unlike anywhere else on earth. Snow-covered peaks and endless ice fields stretch below you as you land at the edge of the White Continent, refreshed and ready to begin your expedition.

Over six days, explore the Antarctic Sound, Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands — home to ice landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and incredible moments in nature. 🐧🦭

Daily Zodiac excursions and guided landings bring you closer to this remote environment, while on board you’ll enjoy spacious suites, exceptional dining, lounges, the Otium Spa and expedition-ready facilities designed for comfort and discovery. 🚢

✨ Special Offer: Book by 02 June 2026 to save $11,000 per suite.

📍 Fly directly into Antarctica
📍 No Drake Passage crossing
📍 Expedition cruising aboard Silver Endeavour
📍 Wildlife encounters & Zodiac excursions
