Details
Day 1 – Singapore, Singapore
Singapore is small country in size but big on excitement. Explore the multicultural medley of Singapore city-state through its neighborhoods. Check out the statue-adorned temples of Little India and the colorful pagodas of Chinatown.
Cruise to Singapore and explore the city’s Malay section on the Kampong Glam Heritage Trail, which will take you past Arabic-influenced mansions and the gold-dome-topped Masjid Sultan mosque.
Experience the contrast between the lush rainforest flora of the Singapore Botanic Garden and the high-tech “supertrees” and biodomes of Gardens by the Bay.
Complete your Singapore tour with a panorama from the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands or a Singapore Sling cocktail at the historical Raffles Hotel.
Day 2 – Penang, Malaysia
An island state just off the coast of northwest Malaysia, Penang is rich in diverse cultural influences thanks to its history as a trading center between India, China, Britain and the Middle East. Head to historic George Town, the island’s capital city, where bicycles and trishaws (three-wheeled, pedal-powered vehicles) dart along narrow streets lined with mural-adorned buildings and varied architecture.
Cruise to Penang to step into the oldest Anglican Church in Southeast Asia at St. George’s, or check out the Kapitan Keling Mosque. Then, take the tram up to the cooler, minty-fresh air of Penang Hill – walk through the bird sanctuary or one of the nature trails, and take in views of the city below and the mountains in the distance.
Day 3 – 4 – Phuket, Thailand
Pronounced “Poo-ket”, the island of Phuket is often called the Pearl of Thailand. And once you set foot on pristine beaches and see its crystalline blue water, you’ll understand why.
Cruise to Phuket, Thailand and start your day by diving right in, literally, at Kata Noi Beach, a smaller, more secluded spot where you can soak in the sun and sand and unwind.
Then, head to the nearby Karon Viewpoint for unparalleled views of the Andaman Sea and the area’s lush mountainous landscape.
In town, see the Big Buddha of Phuket – the white marble likeness of the holy figure stands 45m tall. Then, marvel at the elaborate temple of Wat Chalong and its Grand Pagoda, where it is believed a splinter of bone from the Buddha himself resides.
