What's included
Two very different sides of Southeast Asia in one trip. Singapore is polished, fast and immaculately organised — gardens lit up at night, Marina Bay, hawker food that has earned Michelin stars. Bali is the opposite: rice terraces, temples, waterfalls and beach days at a pace that lets you breathe.
Doing both in one journey means you get the city and the island without choosing between them, and without paying for two separate long-haul flights.
