Common questions
How long does the London to Singapore trip take?
Moving time is about 66h spread over 16 legs. Allowing 2 nights in each of the 17 stops, the whole corridor works as a 45-day trip. You can compress it by skipping stops, but the travelling time itself does not shrink much.
How much does it cost?
About €3,077 per person for 45 days in dorms, sharing with one other. That splits into roughly €922 of transport, €554 of beds and €1,356 of daily spending. The realistic range is €2,331 to €4,313 depending on how early you book and how much you eat out.
Can you do it without flying?
Not entirely. One gateway flight joins two overland stretches, because there is no ground connection across that gap. Everything either side of it runs on trains, coaches and ferries.
Which countries does it cross?
United Kingdom, Italy, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore — 7 in total. Check visa requirements for your own passport before you commit to the route; this planner does not model them.
What transport does it use?
Flight, Long-haul flight, Coach, Rail, Fast train, Night train. Every leg is costed with a walk-up fare and an advance fare, so the range on each row is the booking-window spread, not uncertainty about the route.
Adjust it for your own dates, budget and party size.
