Penang Cruise
Penang, Malaysia
Penang, an island state located near northwest Malaysia, boasts a wealth of varied cultural influences due to its historical role as a trading hub connecting India, China, Britain, and the Middle East. Visit the historic George Town, which is the capital of the island, where bicycles and trishaws (pedal-powered three-wheeled vehicles) weave through narrow streets flanked by buildings decorated with murals and diverse architectural styles. Sail to Penang to visit St. George's, the oldest Anglican church in Southeast Asia, or explore the Kapitan Keling Mosque. Next, ride the tram to the refreshing, minty air of Penang Hill — stroll through the bird sanctuary or a nature trail, and enjoy the views of the city beneath and the mountains afar.
