Kuala Lumpur was everything it was made out to be, and our guests got to experience this vibrant city, a melting pot of many Asian cultures.

National Geographic Orion guests were treated with a scenic bus tour to the famed Batu Caves of Malaysia. We viewed iconic statues and hiked up the 200-plus rainbow stairs of this beautiful location into the limestone caves where we found the colorful, majestic temples.

After the caves, we paid a visit to the famed Petronas Twin Towers, which were amazing. We were then treated to a tasty authentic Malaysian lunch in the Central Market Place.

To help work off the great cuisine, we were then set free to roam the streets of Chinatown where our guests enjoyed a bit of retail therapy, taking advantage of the great prices and Malaysian wares along Petaling Street.

It was a great day in this fantastic city.
