Dreaming of Malaysia

Travel has taken a pause this year, but we can #KeepDreaming.    Our original plans for this year included visiting Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after departing Australia on Majestic Princess.

"We are proud to showcase the beauty of Malaysia, and what better way to do that in this climate than by utilizing our digital assets and giving our global audience a sneak peek through virtual experience. I hope that this also incites excitement in our fellow Malaysians to explore our lands once it is safe to travel again,”   
                                                 (Datuk Musa Yusof, Director General of Tourism Malaysia)

As we cocooned at home during the pandemic, we continued to be on the lookout for virtual content to share with our readers. We learned about a video which recently won an award. A promotional video released by Tourism Malaysia has reached the juries of The Telly Awards based in New York,  and won the silver award for Non-Broadcast under the Travel/Tourism category 2020.

The promotional video entitled DISCOVER BREATHTAKING MALAYSIA was produced in October 2019 as part of Tourism Malaysia’s initiatives to promote Malaysia which targets the millennial market segment. The 4-minute video takes viewers through Malaysia’s touristic attractions as well as hidden gems for travelers to explore, complete with suggestions for captions and hashtags on social media.

We invite you to sit back and enjoy this video which includes highlights from several attractions which we had planned to visit.  We fell in love with Malaysia during our first visit - we hope that this video will encourage you to include Malaysia in your future travels.  #AdventuresWorthSharing

Congratulations Tourism Malaysia for well deserved award

In mid-February we embarked on a cruise from Australia to Singapore. Unfortunately, Covid-19 was starting to get traction across the globe and before we even left our first port of call, we learned that the Asian portion of our trip would not occur.  We've been to Asia before, and had been looking forward to visiting Malaysia and Singapore again.
