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 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).
Ihre Reise beginnt in Malakka, der Stadt des Gewürz- und Seidenhandels, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehört. Bewundern Sie anschließend in Port Klang die faszinierende Mischung aus Art déco und orientalischer Architektur der ikonischen königlichen Moschee des Sultans Suleiman. Anschlließend entdecken Sie die bunte und multikulturelle Insel Penang, die für ihre britischen Kolonialbauten, chinesischen Geschäfte und Moscheen bekannt ist.
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 entspannende Momente an einem idyllischen Strand, machen Sie eine Schnorcheltour, um die Unterwasserwelt zu bewundern, oder baden Sie im warmen Wasser des Indischen Ozeans.
Sie fahren weiter entlang der thailändischen Küste in der Andamanensee. Am 1. Weihnachtstag ankert die Le Lapérouse dann in einer zauberhaften Kulisse aus smaragdgrünem Wasser, Felsen, Mangroven und weißem Sandstrand vor der Küste der unbewohnten Insel Ko Rok Nok. Der malerische Ort lädt zum Baden, Tauchen und Nichtstun ein. Gleich nebenan auf Ko Kradan locken auf weniger als drei Quadratkilometern herrliche weiße Sandstrände, Korallenriffe und tropische Vegetation.
Schließlich überqueren Sie die Straße von Malakka, den einst strategischen Knotenpunkt des Gewürz- und Seidenhandels, um Ihren Zielhafen Singapur zu erreichen.
