The five-night Klang, Penang & Phuket Cruise, which sets sail on October 26, 2022, offers guests a chance to shop and dine at Malaysia’s capital city Kuala Lumpur, explore heritage streets and a 130-million year old rainforest in Malaysia’s Penang, and embark on soft adventures in Thailand’s Phuket.
