The road ahead
From here the adventure points west across the Pacific — the Galápagos, the Marquesas, Tahiti and Fiji — eventually reaching northern Australia. From there we'll sail up through Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, before crossing the Indian Ocean toward India and Dubai. Then along the coasts of Oman and Yemen into the Red Sea, past Sudan and Egypt, and back into the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal — closing the loop.
