Day 1: Port Klang | Embark

The country’s busiest commercial port, Port Klang was a royal capital before being colonized by the British in 1870. Near the Royal Palace, be able to admire the blend of Art deco and oriental style of the Sultan Suleiman Mosque. Completed in 1933, its conception resulted from a collaborative effort with the British and its concrete structure is particularly original for the time. Located around 30 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur, Port Klang is the ideal gateway for visiting the vibrant capital of Malaysia.

Day 2-3: Singapore

Nicknamed the Garden City, Singapore stretches across Malaysia's southern-most region. Experience the vibrant hustle and bustle of this city-state for yourself at the Marina Bay. Not too far away is the historic center, offering up a unique smorgasbord of neoclassical buildings and contemporary towers. Decked out in topiary, the pavements of Orchard Road are also home to countless shopping centers. The colorful markets in Chinatown and Little India are the perfect opportunities to quell hunger pangs in a hawker center, one of the city's traditional snack bars. Between the two districts, get a slice of history with a trip to the Raffles dock. It was here that Englishman Sir Raffles, the founder of the city, is said to have arrived one fateful day in January 1819.

The following optional excursions are available for an additional charge: Heritage Trail, Singapore By Night, Early Days Of Singapore, Feng Shui & Architecture, Contemporary Singapore, Traditional Handicraft Of Singapore.

Day 4-5: At Sea

During your day at sea, make the most of the many services and activities on board. Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation in the spa or stay in shape in the fitness center. Depending on the season, let yourself be tempted by the swimming pool or a spot of sunbathing. This day without a port of call will also be an opportunity to enjoy the conferences or shows proposed on board, to do some shopping in the boutique, or to meet the photographers in their dedicated space. As for lovers of the open sea, visit the ship’s upper deck to admire the spectacle of the waves and perhaps be lucky enough to observe marine species. A truly enchanted interlude, combining comfort, rest and entertainment.

Day 6: Ko Samui

Koh Samui, sometimes simply called Samui, is an island in the Gulf of Thailand in the southern part of the Kra Isthmus, which connects the Malay Peninsula to the Asian continent. The island is ringed with idyllic white-sand beaches lined with coconut trees and ideal for relaxing. Discover the island’s many treasures: lush vegetation; picture-postcard beaches; traditional fishing villages; the Big Buddha Temple; Wat Plai Laem; We Green Farm, a cultural and vegetable farm and the possibilities are endless.

The following optional excursions are available for an additional charge: Beach Break At Peace Resort, Discover Koh Samui, Koh Samui & Beach Break, Koh Phangan By Speedboat, Explore Koh Samui By 4-wheel Drive.

Day 7-9: Bangkok

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, through which runs the Chao Phraya River, is one of the biggest cities in the world. The river separates the two main areas that make up the tropical megalopolis: the right bank whose many canals have earned it the moniker “Venice of Asia”, and the more developed left bank. Bangkok is tentacular. It is a wonderful condensed version of Asia that you will enjoy experiencing through the rare and sophisticated flavors of its legendary gastronomy. Bangkok is the home of the famous Temple of the Golden Buddha, a remarkable example of Sukhotai art. The Grand Palace, an imperial treasure built in 1782 and one of the most beautiful examples of palaces from the former kingdom of Siam, is also worth a visit.

The following optional excursions are available for an additional charge: Streetfood By Night, Imperial Treasures & River Cruise, Golden Buddha & Jim Thompson's House, Floating Market & Railway Market, Ayutthaya, The World Heritage Site.

Day 10: Ko Kood

Situated to the south of the Koh Chang archipelago and of the island of Koh Mak in Thailand, Koh Kood is one of the rare islands still insulated from tourism. Located to the south-east of Bangkok near the Cambodian border, Koh Kood seduces you with the charm of its tranquillity and serenity: there is just one small road running through the island. Thailand’s fourth-largest island, Koh Kood offers magnificent unspoiled beaches and an authentic and lush natural environment. The immaculate sand and turquoise waters are an invitation to swim or unwind.

Day 11: At Sea

During your day at sea, make the most of the many services and activities on board. Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation in the spa or stay in shape in the fitness center. Depending on the season, let yourself be tempted by the swimming pool or a spot of sunbathing. This day without a port of call is also an opportunity to enjoy the conferences or shows proposed on board, to do some shopping in the boutique, or to meet the photographers in their dedicated space. As for lovers of the open sea, visit the ship’s upper deck to admire the spectacle of the waves and perhaps be lucky enough to observe marine species. A truly enchanted interlude, combining comfort, rest and entertainment.

Day 12: Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon

Located near the Mekong delta, Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam. It is both the historic heart and economic hub. Formerly Saigon, the city is an imposing avant-guard metropolis. You can admire its famous central post office and its emblematic Reunification Palace. From 95 years of French presence, the city has kept some remarkable monuments, like the Cathédrale Notre-Dame with its neo-Gothic façade built in 19th-century red brick. Succumb to the magic of this hectic city, where everything is about contrast, like the very brightly-colored district of Cholon, Saigon’s “Chinatown”.

The following optional excursions are available for an additional charge: Contrasts Of Saigon, Authentic Saigon.
