Singapore blends striking modern architecture with vibrant cultural districts and a rich trading history. Before embarking on your cruise, you may wish to explore Marina Bay, browse the markets of Chinatown and Little India, or discover the city's colonial heritage around the historic waterfront. Later, your driver will collect you from your hotel and take you to the port to board your ship. Once on board, settle into your stateroom, explore the ship's facilities, and enjoy the start of your voyage.

Today's stop is Malacca City, whose history has been shaped by centuries of trade between East and West. You may wish to explore the city's historic streets, visit the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum to learn more about Peranakan culture, or discover the architecture, markets, and waterfront that reflect Malacca's multicultural past.

Port Klang is the gateway to Kuala Lumpur, where skyscrapers, lively markets, colonial-era buildings, and ornate temples reflect the city's blend of cultures and influences. Closer to the port, you can discover the region's royal heritage, including the Sultan Suleiman Mosque, whose distinctive Art Deco and Islamic architecture reflects a different chapter of Malaysia's history.

Penang's history as a centre of the spice trade helped shape the diverse culture that defines the island today. In George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, explore historic streets lined with temples, markets, and colonial-era buildings, or visit the Blue Mansion, renowned for its distinctive blend of Chinese and Eastern architectural styles.

Langkawi is the largest island in an archipelago of more than 100 islands in the Andaman Sea.

Langkawi is also known for products made from gamat, a local sea cucumber traditionally used in medicinal and cosmetic preparations.

Part of a protected national park, Koh Rok comprises two uninhabited islands known for their clear waters, coral reefs, and forested landscapes. You can spend time swimming, snorkeling among tropical fish and marine life, or relaxing on the island's beaches while exploring this corner of southern Thailand.

Part of Hat Chao Mai National Park, Ko Kradan is known for its coral reefs fringing its shoreline, clear waters, and long stretches of sand. With no villages, shops, or cash machines, the island remains largely undeveloped. Swim and snorkel among tropical fish or explore the island's forested interior.

Phang Nga is known for its limestone karsts, sheltered bays, and forested landscapes, much of which is protected within a national park.

Your cruise comes to an end in Phuket, Thailand's largest island. Phuket is known for its sheltered bays, forested hills, and rich blend of cultural influences shaped by centuries of maritime trade. On arrival, you'll be met at the port and then travel by boat to Koh Yao Noi, before continuing to your hotel. You'll spend the next three nights at Six Senses Yao Noi, a hillside retreat overlooking Phang Nga Bay and its distinctive limestone islands.

Spend the day at your own pace on Koh Yao Noi. You may wish to relax by the beach, enjoy the hotel's spa and wellness facilities, or explore the island's quiet roads, fishing villages, and plantations.

Enjoy another day at leisure overlooking Phang Nga Bay. You might choose to take to the water to explore the limestone islands scattered across the bay. Alternatively, simply relax and enjoy the views from this peaceful corner of southern Thailand.
