Workshops and cooking classes provided a taste of the cultures we were about to explore.

Our first port of call was Singapore, a city known for its futuristic architecture and bustling markets. We embarked on a city tour that included stops at the Marina Bay Sands, the vibrant Gardens by the Bay, and the bustling Orchard Road for a shopping spree.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Next, we docked at Port Klang, which serves as the gateway to Kuala Lumpur. A coach ride took us into the heart of Malaysia’s capital. Highlights included the Petronas Twin Towers and the colorful Batu Caves. The local cuisine was a delight, with dishes like Nasi Lemak and Satay.

At Sea and Arrival in Thailand

Returning to the sea, we spent a relaxing day participating in cultural seminars and culinary demonstrations, particularly focusing on Thai cuisine, gearing up for our arrival in Thailand.
