KUALA LUMPUR ( Klang Port )
Cruise ships dock at Port Klang, which is 45
kilometers (about 90 minutes) southwest of Kuala Lumpur. Port Klang is first
and foremost a major cargo port, but it also houses a modern cruise terminal
and cruise ship pier owned by Summer Holiday Cruise (parent company of
Norwegian Cruise Lines). As a matter of fact, Summer Holiday Cruise
headquarters are located at the terminal.
Most of the sightseeing tours from Port Klang head to
Kuala Lumpur. If you'll be going off on your own away from the port, a taxi or
car service is always required. The port has very limited last-minute shopping
facilities. However, if you are into golf, try the Port Klang Golf Resort,
which is located less than a mile south from the Summer Holiday Cruise
terminal.
LANGKAWI ISLAND
Pulau Langkawi, where the cruise ships dock, is the
largest of Langkawi's isles and houses the majority of tourist attractions. The
island is only about 154 square miles, making it a manageable size for taking
in many sights during the course of a day. A rental car will buy you the
freedom to wander at your leisure, and the best place to start is along the coast.
Regardless of the direction you take, you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of
the ocean, endless beaches for a quick or lingering dip, and a window into the
lives of the Malay people as you pass by countless quaint and inviting villages
along the way.
PANGKOR ISLAND
Off the coast of Perak state, lies a cluster of small
islands with unquestionably some of the best beaches on the western coast of
peninsular Malaysia. Among them, two islands predominate in terms of
accessibility and infrastructure - the largest Pangkor and smaller, privately
owned Pangkor Laut- hosting one luxurious resort. If you are looking for high
standard accommodation on the main island, head up north to Teluk Belanga or
Teluk Dalam.
The most beautiful beaches are Nipah Beach
and Coral Beach, both situated in Nipah Bay on the west-northern coast, popular
among foreigners (mainly Europeans and Australians) as well as locals. With
tiny islets nearby (Giam and Mentagor) surrounded by corals, fish and sea
cucumbers, this place is a fully satisfactory snorkeling spot. If you are into
other watersports- they are easily accessible everywhere around the island. For
active and adventurous- there’s an uphill jungle trek across the island (takes
around 4hrs). Pangkor has a lot to offer also to bird watchers- among many
interesting species, amazing hornbills can be easily spotted.Put the cherry on
top with having a night swim-being surrounded by blue glowing plankton feels
like dancing with stars.

The river was the main artery of trade for
Melaka in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the
