Malaysia highlights: surprising, delicious, diverse
Malaysia is like caffeine for the imagination. Witness its tranquil beaches, verdant plains and wild jungles and you’ll realise this planet of ours still holds some mystery. And yet, take our on-shore excursion to Kuala Lumpur and you will see one of the world’s most modern cities.
The cuisine is a highlight of your Malaysia cruise. Malaysian flavours take no prisoners – they’re bold, unapologetic and complex, an exciting fusion of different traditional cuisines, including Indian and Chinese. Curries will never taste the same again!
Another highlight is Penang – the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ – where you will discover a multicultural city with its own natural wonders, including an impressive National Park and a Tropical Spice Garden.
On your Malaysia cruise, you’ll also discover lively Kota Kinabalu and the charming Port Klang from the comfort of your Celebrity Cruises ship. You’ll return home with stories of the surprise and charm of Malaysia.
Weather & what to pack

Lightweight and loose-fitting clothes are recommended to keep you cool, and female travellers are advised to wear clothes which cover the legs and upper arms. And carry an umbrella – just in case!
