As well as revisiting your favourite destinations, Discovery will be venturing to the Far East for the first time, with visits to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia. Our plans include Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, the temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the forests of Borneo and the islands of Indonesia. And if you book your cruise early, you will pay up to 50% less than the standard brochure price."

They say: "This is the farewell season for the ship Ocean Majesty before a brand new cruise programme in 2010.
