The peaceful rhythm of the rain-nourished green season gives way to the dry season along South East Asia’s mighty Mekong, inviting outdoor exploration along its banks. On the world’s oceans, September to November brings a tapestry of colour and culture everywhere from the Baltics to the Americas, with the blazing foliage of Canada and the US East Coast standing out as a true seasonal spectacle.

On the world’s oceans, December to February offers the rare opportunity to venture to the imagination-defying wilderness of Antarctica or escape to the warmth of New Zealand and the South Pacific.
