CELEBRATORY events were held on board Royal Caribbean International’s (RCI) Spectrum of the Seas last week at Port Klang and Penang, in recognition of cruise tourism being given a new lease of life in Malaysia.
In both cities, senior dignitaries and state officials witnessed plaque and key exchanges between Spectrum’s Captain and the ports’ senior executives, who were given a tour of the ship.
“We are thrilled to herald the return of ports-of-call cruising within the region, and to connect holidaymakers with Asia’s beautiful destinations once again,” said RCI Vice President & Managing Director Asia Pacific Angie Stephen.
Added Port Klang Cruise Terminal (PKCT) Chair Shah Mohd Yusof: “we believe that the arrival of cruise ships to Port Klang, carrying local and international passengers to enjoy restaurants, attractions and shopping malls around the state of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur will greatly support Malaysia’s tourism industry and economy.
“We have introduced a new attraction for passengers ‘Cruise Day Fiesta’ at the PKCT terminal building — in conjunction with Tourism Selangor featuring local cuisine and handicraft.
“PKCT is ready to welcome cruise liners to our world-class terminal.”
