But one thing never changes: The saltwater swimming pool is big enough to do a few none too strenuous laps, and there are lots of places to lounge, come rain or shine. At our first stop, the Indonesian island of Komodo, the captain announced that the swell was too dangerous to launch tenders to take us ashore. A couple of days later we arrived at the port of Parepare on Sulawesi.

At Parepare, my husband followed Hanse, cycling for 15 miles through the local market, villages and rice terraces, and then alongside the river back to port. I would never want to stay here, but I was glad I had visited.

FREEDOM THAT TAKES YOU PLACES

That evening we sat on our veranda and watched the sun set over the town, while the voices of competing muezzins calling the faithful to prayer echoed around us. This, I thought, is what cruising is all about.

In Borneo we dropped in at a sanctuary for honey bears [sun bears] in the Sabah rainforest, and on Bohol in the Philippines we visited another sanctuary, this time for tarsiers — tiny nocturnal creatures with secretive habits and enormous eyes. The ship then anchored off the small Philippine island of Malcapuya — a Robinson Crusoe sort of place if ever there was one. The castaway would have stared in amazement at the magnificent barbecue lunch brought ashore for us as we explored the beach and swam in the turquoise waters.

A day later, in Manila, we plunged into the other side of Philippine life. Finally we arrived at Hong Kong. Europa 2 made her way right into the heart of Kowloon, mooring just across the pier from the Star Ferry — perfect. What were my thoughts as I began to empty all those drawers and cupboards I had failed to fill two weeks earlier?

I had been beautifully looked after: On sea days I had done yoga classes with Hanse, the bike guy and attended two stimulating debates perfect translation via a headset about the future of the EU — highly relevant for we Brits, whose reactions were monitored with amused fascination by our German counterparts. Restaurants — and there is ample opportunity for fine dining — can only be booked on board, which I found to be a definite plus.

What I did consider odd, however, was that the ship charges for alcohol. And a late-night drink in the Sansibar, the sophisticated open-air bar at the back of the ship, listening to live renditions of songs by Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley and Eric Clapton, was my idea of heaven. I had to admit, as I squeezed a beautifully laundered shirt into my case, that this had been just about as good as cruising gets.
