MONDAY, MARCH 28 The Olazabal Course at Mission Hills opened for play in 2003. It is located at the Dongguan Clubhouse, 25mins from the Shenzhen complex and was the venue for the 2007 and 2008 Omega Mission Hills World Cup. At 7,300 yards from the back tees it is the longest course at Mission Hills. It is distinguished by significant elevation changes, yielding numerous majestic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The layout features Paspalum fairways and Tiff Eagle greens with nearly 160 bunkers in total, a feature of which is their deep bowl shapes with thick grassy vertical lips a design characteristic of the course. The signature hole is the 580-yard, par-5 15th, a right-to-left dogleg framed by 26 bunkers while curling around a large lake. A drive in the fairway makes reaching the green in two a possibility, a true risk and reward par 5. The 18th is also particularly strong, a 460 yard, par 4 that, like 15, has its left flank menaced by water from tee to green. The approach to the green affords little room for error, as the faint-of-heart who bale out to the right will be left with a delicate bunker shot to a green that runs away from the player toward the water. Golf is played with a compulsory Golf Cart and Caddie which are included in the package price. A caddie gratuity is excluded but expected, payment should be made directly to your caddie after the round in USD. Remainder of day at leisure and own arrangements. Enjoy the many facilities of Mission Hills Resort. Overnight: Mission Hills Resort, Shenzen, China TUESDAY, MARCH 29 The Faldo Course at Mission Hills opened for play in 1999 and is located at the Mid-Valley Clubhouse, 15mins from the Shenzhen complex. The course was designed to offer a fair bit demanding challenge to a championship standard. The course is carved through rugged mountains that surrounded the site on all sides providing a dramatic backdrop similar to classic amphitheatres. The Par 3 163 yard 16th hole is the most famous hole on the course. With an elevated tee overlooking an island green, it certainly has the look of the 17th at Sawgrass. Many view it as one of world's toughest island greens and is definitely one of Asia's best Par 3’s.

Golf is played with a compulsary Golf Cart and Caddie which are included in the package price. A caddie gratuity is excluded but expected, payment should be made directly to your caddie after the round in USD. Following golf transfer from Mission Hills Resort to Hong Kong to embark Azamara Quest. Overnight: Hong Kong WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30 – HONG KONG No Golf - Day in Hong Kong. Depart 8:00pm Overnight: At Sea THURSDAY, MARCH 31 No Golf - Day at Sea Overnight: At Sea FRIDAY, APRIL 1 – HUE (DANANG), VIETNAM The Montgomerie Links is located close to Danang a short distance from the South China Sea and within view of the striking Marble Mountains. Designed by Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie, it is widely regarded as the best course in Vietnam. It can play to 7,090 yards but a variety of tee options give maximum choice depending on the golfers ability. The design has implemented where possible classic Old World elements into the Danang course, such as rolling, treeless fairways, thick rough and large greens. Among the most memorable holes are Nos. 7 and 13, a pair of par 4’s with some of the deepest bunkers on the course. The only departure from traditional design comes in the form of several lakes and streams while it plays through an incredibly natural formation of dunes, heartlands and seaside vegetation. This is as close as you can get to links golf in Vietnam. Golf is played with a Golf Cart and compulsary caddie which are included in the package price. A caddie gratuity is excluded but expected, payment should be made directly to your caddie after the round in USD. Distance from port: circa 30mins Overnight: At Sea

SATURDAY, APRIL 2 No Golf - Day at Sea Overnight: At Sea SUNDAY, APRIL 3 – HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM Vietnam Golf & Country Club is located just 20 kilometers from the center of Ho Chi Minh City. Set amongst 300 hectares of land, two great golf courses have been carved out of the existing woodland with minimal land movement. Golf will be played over the 6,946-yard East Course. Designed by Lee Trevino, and opened for play in September 1997. The East Course offers more generous fairways than the West Course but is protected by 110 well positioned bunkers, water hazards and undulating Bermuda greens, it is a serious challenge. The East Course’s undulating greens are one of its main defences and to score well on this course, good course management will be needed. Golf is played with a Golf Cart and compulsary caddie which are included in the package price. A caddie gratuity is excluded but expected, payment should be made directly to your caddie after the round in USD. Distance from port: circa 60mins Overnight: Ho Chi Monh City, Vietnam MONDAY, APRIL 4 – HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM No Golf - Day in Ho Chi Minh City.

The course was designed by American architect Denis Griffiths and opened for play in December 1996. With its immaculate presentation and conditioning it provides a classic parkland layout and is regularly voted as one of Thailand’s best courses and in the Top 5 in Asia. There may not be too much to see beyond the course boundaries but inside lies a layout of immense charm. Attractive palm trees give extra definition to most holes, while an abundance of small lakes, streams and clever bunkering provide the main hazards. There are several top class holes including the signature par 3 6th hole. The clubhouse is surrounded by water and is regularly voted one of the best in Asia. Golf is played with a golf cart and compulsary caddie which are included in the package price. Your caddie will drive the cart so one cart per player.

It has commanding scenic panoramic views of Maenam Beach and the nearby island of Koh Phangan from most holes. The golf course starts by winding through a mature coconut forest and then progresses up the mountain, while the fairways follow the natural line of the hills. Waterfalls and creeks add natural beauty with the hills providing a picturesque backdrop. From steep uphill and downhill slopes to winding and sometimes narrow fairways that are cut into the forest and meander around cliffs and streams, Santiburi Samui Country Club is one

of the most unique Thailand golf courses. Due to the nature of the terrain a golf cart is a requirement to play this course. A compulsary Golf Cart and Caddie are included in the package price.
