Von Singapur aus bietet Ihnen PONANT die Möglichkeit, die Naturjuwelen und historischen Städte Südostasiens zu entdecken. Von Malaysia bis Thailand lädt Sie die Le Lapérouse ein zu einer brandneuen 9-tägigen Kreuzfahrt zwischen traumhaften Inseln, außergewöhnlichem Naturerbe und kulturellen Entdeckungen. Erleben Sie wie sich asiatischen und westlichen Einflüssen vermischen und so Ihr Weihnachtsfest an Bord unvergesslich werden lassen.
Während Ihrer gesamten Reise profitieren Sie von einem bereits im Reisepreis inkludierten Landausflug pro Anlaufhafen und Person. Dieser ist aus einem vom PONANT sorgfältig zusammengestellten Angebot auszuwählen. Entdecken Sie auf dieser Kreuzfahrt beispielsweise das Naturschutzgebiet Habitat Penang Hill in Penang und bewundern Sie die faszinierende Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, genießen Sie den Reichtum von Laman Padi von Ihrem Stopp auf der Insel Langkawi aus, zwischen Reisplantagen und beim Besuch eines buddhistischen Tempels, und erkunden Sie die historische Stadt Malakka, die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört. Die Vielfalt der angebotenen Erlebnisse verspricht ebenso intensive wie abwechslungsreiche Momente (gesamtes Angebot unter dem Reiter „Reiseroute" einsehbar).
Als Erstes durchqueren Sie die Straße von Malakka, den ehemaligen strategischen Knotenpunkt des Gewürz- und Seidenhandels, und entdecken die bunte und multikulturelle Insel Penang, die für ihre britischen Kolonialgebäude, chinesischen Läden und Moscheen bekannt ist.
Sie fahren weiter entlang der thailändischen Küste. Vor einer atemberaubenden Kulisse aus smaragdgrünem Wasser, Klippen, Mangroven und weißem Sand ankert die Le Lapérouse vor der unbewohnten Insel Ko Rok Nok, einem wahren Paradies zum Baden und Entspannen.
Anschließend nimmt Ihr Schiff Kurs Richtung Süden auf die Insel Langkawi, wo Sie eine Landschaft mit einer Mischung aus malerischen Reisfeldern und dschungelbedeckten Hügeln erwartet.
Genießen Sie an den Weihnachtsfeiertagen entspannende Momente an einem idyllischen Strand, machen Sie eine Schnorcheltour, um die Unterwasserwelt zu bewundern, oder baden Sie im warmen Wasser des Indischen Ozeans.
Weiter geht es für die Le Lapérouse nach Lumut, wo Sie bei einer Bootsfahrt auf dem Kuala Sepetang die Mangroven bewundern und vielleicht sogar Orang-Utans entdecken können. Von dieser Küstenstadt aus, die für ihr Kunsthandwerk aus Muscheln und Korallen bekannt ist, können Sie auch Ipoh besuchen, das lange Zeit von Sultanen, Kolonialherren, Teebaronen, Händlern, Straßenkünstlern, Unternehmern und Bergarbeitern frequentiert wurde und den Multikulturalismus, die Geschichte und die Traditionen Malaysias perfekt widerspiegelt.
Schließlich beenden Sie Ihre Reise in Malakka, der Stadt des Gewürz- und Seidenhandels, die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört.
