Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a teardrop-shaped island nation in South Asia, gaining an affectionate nickname “teardrop of India.” The Pearl of the Indian Ocean is renowned for its natural beauty, incredible biodiversity and golden sandy beaches. Renowned as a large tea producer, Sri Lanka boasts an abundance of lush tea plantations where you can witness breathtaking scenery and the intricate tea-making process for yourself.
On a Sri Lanka cruise, you’ll journey to the quaint capital of Colombo – a city steeped with history reflected in its unique architecture, combining colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers. The lively port city is also the gateway to Galle Fort, a small rocky peninsula within the walled remains of a fortress that reflect the region’s storied past and rich culture. Nature and wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted to call at Hambantota, with various wildlife sanctuaries and national parks. This coastal town is home to Tala National Park, the second-largest national park in Sri Lanka, and several religious sites. From exotic food and endless tea estates to spectacular wildlife and stunning landscapes, Sri Lanka is brimming with loads of treasures to unpack!
