Located in southeastern Africa, Malawi is called 'the warm heart of Africa,' which is no exaggeration; it is a nature lover's dream-come-true. In this program, from the moment the plane touches down, you are completely surrounded by the most amazing wildlife on earth. You see rare species of fish found only in Lake Malawi while scuba diving or sailing its deep blue waters. You take a river safari to see crocodiles sunning on the riverbanks and half-submerged hippos; then you go on a 'game drive' in Liwonde National Park to watch elephants, baboons and hundreds of wild birds. You are also shown basic aspects of African culture: the art of mask making, to express religious and personal beliefs, the traditional dances to native drum beats, and the art of bartering in the marketplace.

This program provides us with a rare opportunity to visit the emerging African nation of Namibia, exploring the two coastal towns of Luderitz and Swakopmund. In Luderitz, the main attraction is Kolmanskop Ghost Town, where only cultural remnants remain due to diamond miners moving south due to the discovery of larger stones; then we visit diamond mines that were discovered by accident in 1907 when maintenance on a section of the railroad revealed 'unique stones'; also we see a gigantic rock arch named Bogenfels. We visit the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, where one can ride camels and observe the different colors of the dunes; also it offers the best conditions in the world to paraglide. In Swakopmund, the country's second largest town and traditional 'summer capital,' we see carpets, rugs, and wall hangings individually designed and created by the Karakulia weavers; then we watch African art jewelers create beautiful pieces of jewelry; lastly, at the Swakopmund Tannery, we see how hides are transformed into leather goods.

Argentina, the second largest country in South America, offers a wide variety of natural wonders and cultural attractions. Our first stop is to the cosmopolitan capital city of Buenos Aires, a cultural centerpiece, which includes the La Boca district, a picturesque old port known as the birthplace of the Tango, plus the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace, also known as the pink palace. This is where political history was born on May 25, 1810, when the patriots gathered and rid the city of Spanish conquerors, and where Evita Peron gave her famous speeches. Next we explore the Tierra del Fuego peninsula and visit the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, at the foot of the Andes and tucked along the Beagle Channel, named for its majestic shape; then we travel south to the Falkland Islands, remembered for its war in the 1980s, and well known for its rugged beauty, wildlife and brightly colored homes. Captain John Davis of England discovered these islands in 1592.

Southeast Asia and the South Pacific come alive on an incredible 62-day cruise. The first stop is China's Hong Kong, the international trading city, which is a sophisticated and exotic mix of Eastern and Western cultures. Here we see Po Lin Monastery's Big Buddha on Lantau Island, Yuen Po Bird Market, and Aberdeen, home of the floating fishing village. In Vietnam, located in the eastern part of the Indochina peninsula, we visit China Beach and the Marble Mountains, as well as the industrial city of Da Nang and the ancient city of Hoi An. Singapore offers a combination of Western style development and Eastern style calm, which can undoubtedly be attributed to its history. It was originally founded by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles and achieved its independence in 1965. The Sri Mariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in the country. Bali, Indonesia, is known for its friendly people, beautiful jungles and mountains, and spectacular beaches; also we visit the Goa Lawah Temple. Australia's Northern Territory capital, Darwin, is a modern city playing a pivotal role in the expansion of the Austral-Asian region. Then on the Queensland coast of the island-continent we visit the popular city of Cairns as well as the treasured rainforests. And the journey ends on the northeast coast of Australia, on the Great Barrier Reef, the site of the world's largest collection of coral reefs.
