February 4 · Arrive Singapore

Welcome to the Lion City

Touch down at Changi and a private car takes you straight to your hotel. Nothing is scheduled on purpose — shake off the flight, stretch your legs along the river, and get your first taste of Singapore’s food halls when you’re hungry.

February 5 · Singapore

From colonial roots to a city of the future

Singapore is a gleaming island city-state where 19th-century landmarks stand beside solar-powered “supertrees” and glass towers. Most of the city’s best moments sit within a few blocks of the Central Business District and Marina Bay.

Singapore Through the Ages · Private

Follow the story of modern Singapore from its founding to its skyline. Glide down the river by traditional boat, take in the views across Marina Bay, and learn how a small port became a global powerhouse in a single generation. A classic hawker-centre meal and a traditional tea tasting round out the day.

  • River cruise
  • Hawker-centre meal
  • Tea ceremony
  • Rooftop city views
February 5 · Singapore

A taste of Singapore after dark

  • Peranakan & Malay favorites
February 6 · Embarkation day

All aboard the Sapphire Princess

A private transfer carries you from your hotel to the cruise terminal, where your ship is waiting. Settle into your floating home and let Southeast Asia come to you—one fascinating port at a time.

February 7

At sea

Your first sea day. Wander the decks, find your favorite perch, and get to know the ship.

February 8 · Koh Samui, Thailand

Turquoise water, jungle hills & gentle giants

Koh Samui is a postcard of white-sand beaches and palm-fringed coves, easily circled in a day yet best savored slowly. Every beach has its own personality, from lively Chaweng to quieter northern shores.

Elephant Sanctuary Visit in Samui

Spend the morning in the jungle with rescued elephants roaming freely. Learn their stories, help care for them, watch them splash in the mud and the pool, and share a simple vegetarian meal before heading back to the ship.

  • English-speaking guide
  • Meal & welcome drink
  • Suitable for all fitness levels
February 9 · Bangkok & Pattaya, Thailand

Golden Buddhas, floating markets & gardens

Your ship docks at Laem Chabang, the gateway to Bangkok, about 130 km away. Bangkok is Thailand’s dazzling capital of temples, markets and neon; the seaside city of Pattaya, much closer to port, packs in its own set of wonders.

Pattaya Highlights: Temples, Floating Market & Tropical Gardens · Private

Ride up to the sweeping viewpoint over Pattaya Bay, visit the towering golden Buddha, and see the great Buddha image etched into a mountainside.

February 10

At sea

Another day to do absolutely nothing — or settle into a lounge, book a spa treatment, or catch a movie under the stars.

February 11 · Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Pepper farms, salt fields & a river at your pace

Cambodia’s sunny southern coast opens the door to the riverside town of Kampot, a laid-back place of old shophouses, farmland and countryside, famous for its pepper.

Kampot: Salt, Pepper, Cooking Class & Kayaking

A full, rewarding day in the countryside. See how sea salt is harvested by hand, walk a pepper plantation and taste black, red, white and green varieties, then browse the local market with your chef. Cook a Khmer lunch yourself, and paddle the Kampot River through green banks before the scenic drive back to the ship.

February 12

At sea

Slow sea miles, warm breezes, a long, lingering dinner and plenty of time to relive yesterday’s best moments.

February 13 · Phu My, Vietnam

French Gothic spires & village traditions

Phu My is your gateway to southern Vietnam, a region of rice fields, riverside villages and French colonial landmarks from the early 20th century.

Ba Ria Culture & Countryside · Private

Start with a local breakfast, then step into a 1925 French Gothic church glowing with stained glass. Visit a craft village to watch rice paper and rice wine being made the traditional way, share a classic Vietnamese lunch, and browse the market for Vietnamese coffee beans before returning to port.

  • Breakfast & lunch
  • Private car & driver
  • Entrance tickets
  • Iced coffee
February 14 & 15

At sea

Two sea days to rest up. Catch a show, linger on deck at sunset, and enjoy having nowhere you have to be.

February 16 · Langkawi, Malaysia

99 islands & a ride into the clouds

Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands known for rainforest, long sandy beaches and its duty-free shopping. One main island holds nearly all the action.

Langkawi Cable Car & Sky Bridge · Private

A flexible, private tour of the island’s signature sights. Glide up the mountain by express-lane cable car, step out onto the curved Sky Bridge hung from a single pylon, and take in views across the sea. Between rides, visit the giant eagle statue, a black-sand beach, and the island’s craft complex.

  • Express-lane cable car
  • All entrance fees
  • Private transfers
February 17 · Phuket, Thailand

Limestone giants rising from emerald water

Phuket Town is a charming blend of Sino-Portuguese architecture and Chinese, Muslim and Thai culture, with pastel shophouses, antique shops and a lively morning market.

Phang Nga Bay by Longtail Boat & Phuket Old Town

Cruise through one of Thailand’s most dramatic seascapes in a traditional longtail boat, weaving between towering limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and mangroves. Enjoy a Thai lunch with a panoramic view of the bay, then stroll Phuket Old Town’s colorful streets before heading back to the ship.

  • Longtail boat
  • Thai lunch
  • English-speaking guide
  • Bottled water
February 18 · Penang, Malaysia

Street food in a UNESCO World Heritage city

Penang’s capital, George Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site layered with British colonial buildings, Chinese clan houses, temples and street art. It’s widely regarded as one of Asia’s great food cities.

Penang Street Food Walk

Wander George Town’s lanes with a local guide and taste your way through the island’s best-loved hawker dishes — a delicious introduction to one of Asia’s great food cities.

  • Guided tasting walk
  • Short, easy route
February 19 · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Twin towers, temples & limestone caves

Malaysia’s capital is a city of contrasts, where Chinese, Malay and Indian quarters sit beside glittering towers and colonial-era buildings. Your ship docks at Port Klang, the gateway to the city.

Kuala Lumpur City & Countryside · Private

Photo stops at the soaring twin towers and the national mosque, a look at the historic heart of the city, and a visit to a pewter workshop where craftspeople cast and engrave by hand. The finale is the glittering limestone cave temple, reached by a famous flight of 272 steps. We’ll tailor the stops to your favorites.

  • Private air-conditioned minivan
  • English-speaking guide
  • Museum entry
February 20 · Singapore

One last Singapore morning

Your ship returns to Singapore, where a private transfer will take you from the cruise terminal to the airport for your flight home, with a suitcase full of stories.

Where you’ll stay

Two nights at The Clan Hotel Singapore

A five-star modern hotel on Cross Street, tucked between Chinatown and the Raffles Place financial district. The Telok Ayer MRT station connects directly to the hotel, so the whole city is within easy reach.

Know before you go

A few things to pack in your head

Documents

Check that every passport is valid well beyond your return date. We’ll confirm entry requirements for each country with you well before you go. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Heat & walking

It’s warm and humid year-round. Pack light, quick-drying clothes, comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen and a refillable water bottle. The Singapore history tour involves a good amount of walking at a relaxed pace, and you can always hop in a taxi to cut it short.

Temples & mosques

Cover shoulders and knees when visiting temples, mosques and cave shrines. A light scarf or wrap is a great carry-along.

Cash & tips

Small bills are handy for hawker stalls, markets and tips. Gratuities are not included.

Back on board

The ship leaves on schedule. Your guides know the timing, and we’ll go over it with you on one of our planning meetings.

Not included

Airfare, alcohol, gratuities, meals not mentioned, taxis or ride-shares not listed, and pre- or post-trip expenses.
