Itinerary

Your journey begins with an overnight flight from Dublin to Singapore. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the port to board the 5-star Royal Princess. Singapore is a fascinating city-state and a true melting pot of cultures, from the modern skyscrapers of the commercial centre to the traditional Chinese shop-houses and Arab bazaars. It is an ideal starting point for your Southeast Asian adventure.
+
Arrive at Port Kelang, the gateway to Malaysia's bustling capital, Kuala Lumpur. The city skyline is a mix of Mogul-style domes and modern steel towers like the Petronas Towers. You can spend your day exploring the colourful street markets of Chinatown, visiting the grand colonial buildings, or sampling local flavours at a traditional neighbourhood coffee shop.
+
Enjoy two full days to familiarise yourself with the amenities of the Royal Princess. You might choose to relax at The Sanctuary, an area reserved for adults, or walk the glass-floored SeaWalk for dramatic ocean views. These days are perfect for enjoying the full-board dining and the various enrichment programmes offered onboard.
+
Today's stop in Cam Ranh allows you to explore the heart of central Vietnam. This region is known for its beautiful coastline, but the real draw is the chance to visit ancient temple towers, riverside villages, and traditional craft centres where you can see local artisans at work.
+
Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a vibrant metropolis in southern Vietnam. It is famous for its French colonial architecture, such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the 19th-century Central Post Office. The city is also a food lover's paradise, with countless stalls around the busy Bến Thành Market.
+
Enjoy another day at sea as the ship heads towards Thailand. Take this time to catch a blockbuster movie at the poolside theatre or enjoy a live band in one of the lounges while sipping a cocktail.
+
You will have an overnight stay in Laem Chabang, providing ample time to explore Bangkok. This magical city on the Chao Phraya River is home to gold-leaf spires and priceless Buddhas. It is the only nation in Southeast Asia that never fell under colonial rule, and its rich culture remains vibrant in its temples, canal networks, and traditional dance performances.
+
The ship anchors at the island of Ko Samui. You will be transferred to shore via the ship's tender boats to explore the capital, Nathorn. The island has a relaxed atmosphere, originally settled by coconut farmers and fishermen, and offers a beautiful tropical setting for your final Thai stop.

Your final full day onboard gives you a last chance to enjoy the Lotus Spa or the fitness centre. It is a good time to reflect on your journey through Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand before returning to Singapore.
