Penang & Phuket Cruise – Anthem of the Seas – Royal Caribbean 4N / 5D

Just off the northwest coast of Malaysia, Penang is a melting pot of cultures, shaped by its history as a trading hub connecting India, China, Britain, and the Middle East. Explore historic George Town, the island's capital, where bicycles and trishaws weave through narrow streets lined with colorful mural-adorned buildings. Visit St. George's, the oldest Anglican church in Southeast Asia, or admire the beautiful Kapitan Keling Mosque. For stunning vistas, take the tram up Penang Hill, where you can stroll through a bird sanctuary or nature trails while enjoying views of the city and surrounding mountains.

Phuket, often referred to as the Pearl of Thailand, is known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Start your day at the tranquil Kata Noi Beach, a secluded spot perfect for sunbathing and relaxation. Afterward, head to Karon Viewpoint for breathtaking panoramas of the Andaman Sea and the lush mountains. In the town, visit the towering Big Buddha, a majestic 45-meter marble statue. Don’t miss the ornate Wat Chalong temple and its Grand Pagoda, believed to house a splinter of the Buddha's bone.
