Do you get the option to drink boiled water if you take the ship from Pyongyang to Manila? I've deducted that if you sail from Singapore, you'll never get sick. If you sail via Pyongyang on the ship, will you get the option to drink boiled water?

I think having that option requires a certain character.

In plain terms, there IS a clear-cut ladder (a table, to be precise) of what your Passepartout can be that goes from "bad" (inable, kind of silly) to "good" (able valet, smart man) and I think you have to reach a certain level on that ladder.
Since the Mac/PC update, the airship which originally went to Reykjavik was redirected to Winnipeg (in all versions of the game). It's no coincidence either - I strongly recommend visiting Nanortalik after an adventurous North Pole expedition to continue a storyline...
(Obviously, you wouldn't be able to do so if the airship had still gone to Reykjavik.)
