Malaysia’s dynamic capital is a melting pot of skyscrapers, Islamic architecture and British Colonial buildings offering a futuristic cityscape with an enduring nod to yesteryear. Home to some of Asia’s most opulent shopping malls, Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is dominated by the famous Petronas and Menara Kuala Lumpur Towers. Ships will dock in Port Klang.

Top Things to Do in Kuala Lumpur:

  • explore the Batu Caves
  • tour the Royal Selangor Factory
  • shop at the Central Market
  • visit the Petronas Towers for city views
Port:Port Klang

Port Klang, Malaysia's busiest port, serves as a gateway to the vibrant capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, it plays a crucial role in the country’s trade and logistics. Despite its industrial importance, the area around Port Klang offers interesting attractions and activities for visitors.

Nearby, Pulau Ketam, also known as Crab Island, is a quaint fishing village accessible by ferry. The island features traditional stilt houses, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere. Additionally, Port Klang is close to Klang town centre, where visitors can explore historical sites such as the Sultan Abdul Aziz Royal Gallery and the bustling Little India district. With its mix of industrial significance and local charm, Port Klang provides a unique insight into Malaysia’s coastal life.

Arrives: 9:00 AM Departs: 7:00 PM

Langkawi is known for its lush landscapes and pristine beaches, earning it the title of the first UNESCO Geopark in Southeast Asia.

Explore the mangrove forests, limestone cliffs, and hidden caves of Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, home to diverse wildlife like eagles, macaques, and even playful dolphins.

Langkawi is also home to one of the world's longest free-span and curved bridges, the SkyBridge. Suspended 100 meters above the ground, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding rainforest and Andaman Sea.

Ships will dock at Porto Malai, also known as the Star Cruise Jetty. Located near Kuah town, it serves as the gateway to the tropical paradise of Langkawi.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, is renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich cultural heritage. The island's west coast is lined with a series of beaches each offering unique experiences, from the bustling Patong Beach known for its lively bars and nightclubs to the more serene Kata and Karon Beaches. Old Phuket Town, with its colorful Sino-Portuguese buildings, offers a glimpse into the island's history, providing a stark contrast to the modern tourist spots.

For those seeking a cultural experience, the Wat Chalong temple and the Big Buddha—a massive white marble statue—are essential visits, offering spiritual insights as well as panoramic views of the island. Phuket’s natural landscapes also include lush rainforests and world-class diving sites.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM
Cruise into the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal in Penang's bustling port. With easy access to the heart of George Town, it's a perfect starting point for exploring Penang.

Wander through the UNESCO-listed streets of George Town, with over 1,700 historic buildings. See the iconic Street Art scattered across the city, and search for the perfect souvenir at one of many traditional bazaars and street markets.

Try local delicacies such as Penang Laksa and Char Kway Teow at hawker stalls, or head out to Penang's Upper Hill Station to ride the funicular railway toward spectacular views of the region.

Further afield, explore the lush Penang National Park, or get adventurous with canopy walks and jungle trekking.

Revitalize and refresh body, mind and soul onboard Diamond Princess - from rejuvenating spa treatments and the tranquility of a top-deck retreat reserved just for adults to our state-of-the-art fitness centers, you’ll find all the elements to come back new.

In Bangkok, the old meets the new: Skyscrapers contrast ornate Thai temples, high-end cocktail bars lie around the corner from bustling stalls of street-food vendors, and tuk tuk rickshaws pedal beside cars on the busy streets. Ships will dock in Laem Chabang about a 2 hour drive from Bangkok.

Top Things to Do in Bangkok:

  • tour the Grand Palace
  • shop at a floating market
  • admire the Buddha at Wat Pho
  • enjoy street food on Khao San Road
  • view the city from Golden Mountain Temple
Port:Laem Chabang

Laem Chabang is the main port for cruises to Bangkok, situated about 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of the city, typically a 1.5 to 2-hour drive depending on traffic. For those looking to explore nearby attractions, Pattaya is only 30 kilometers (18 miles) away, a quick 30-40 minute drive. Pattaya offers beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and cultural sites like the Sanctuary of Truth.

Savour fresh sashimi at Kai Sushi, enjoy street performers in the dazzling Atrium, or catch a lavish show in the theatre. How about immersing yourself in a traditional Japanese bathing experience at the Izumi Japanese Bath, the largest at sea?

Had a great time travelling with Princess, it was our first cruise and for our Honeymoon and was overall a great experience. Luckily we also had amazing weather. Given how great this cruise was we will be booking another cruise in the very near future!
Circumnavigating New Zealand 1 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2024
Global Journeys were very helpful. Most ports were enjoyable visiting with Dunedin being a very pleasant surprise. Very disappointed missing the Milford Sound because of a threatened storm in the Tasman Sea.
Enjoyable South East Asia 15 , Australia, Dec 2023
The cruise itself was great and the reserve dining was fantastic. Great food and great service. Only downside was the chaos of boarding the ship in Singapore. This was a surprise because normally Singapore is a pretty efficient place but boarding was a total mess. Took hours and the system was a shambles. No priority boarding for suite holders and even ...read more luggage drop off took almost an hour which was madness. Once onboard all was fine.
