Experience the world's most beautiful golf courses

A special menu has been put together in the Bay of Bengal, with the ‘menu’ featuring specialities from Indian and Malaysian ‘designer cuisine’. In terms of golf, there are three absolute highlights on the programme, all of which offer wonderful, extraordinary experiences of nature, whilst showcasing the full spectrum of golf course design. – Simply let yourself be whisked away into the world of Asian-style golf.

Thu, 06.01.2028 Hambantota (Sri Lanka) – Shangri-La’s Golf & Country Club
The championship course is situated right on Hambantota beach. The spacious fairways, lined with coconut palms, offer spectacular views of the Indian Ocean in some places. The course lies on a traditional old elephant trail, which is why the great-grandchildren of the pachyderms still make a point of strolling leisurely through the grounds every September during their annual migrations. For the rest of the year, however, only the elephant in the club logo serves as a reminder of the original pachyderms, allowing you to concentrate fully on your game. Take, for example, the 4th hole, a 175-metre par 3 that requires a carry of 110 metres from the tee. However, if you go into overdrive here, you quickly run the risk of slipping into the bunker waiting to the left behind the green.

Wed, 12.01.2028 Porto Malai (Langkawi) – The Els Teluk Datai
Golf legend Ernie Els has created a wonderful blend of pristine rainforest and unique fairway experiences on Langkawi with the Rainforest Course. The South African has managed to design the fairways in such a way that players of all abilities should be able to leave the course with a positive score. The views that unfold as you play also reward non-golfers with their uniqueness. Among the highlights of the round are undoubtedly the three holes that finish right on the coast of the Andaman Sea.

Fri , 14.01.2028 Port Kelang (Malaysia) – Palm Garden Golf Club 
This parkland course has been integrated into a pristine palm garden situated in the heart of the metropolis of Kuala Lumpur. Here, unusually for a city course, wide fairways and generous, fast greens have been created. Throughout the round, you’ll be accompanied by a very undulating, challenging terrain, which requires constant adjustments to your stance. On half of the holes, surrounding water features influence the course of play. The generous distances between the individual holes make the use of a golf cart advisable.

General information

• In order to guarantee a comfortable flow of play for all golfers, we have determined a basic speed, which is sufficient for a playing time of 4.5 to 5 hours on foot (covering 18 holes with a trolley).
• Due to tournaments, renovations, etc. at the various golf clubs, our Golf & Cruise programme is subject to change at short notice.
• Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world. 
• Additional courses can only be booked in conjunction with the basic package.
• The reservation of e-carts cannot always be guaranteed due to local availability and weather conditions. You may, therefore, have to play and walk just with trolleys - possibly even on hilly courses. Please consider this when planning/booking your Golf & Cruise package. 
• Halfway refreshments are always ordered via the respective golf club; we have no influence on the quality of the snacks. We kindly ask for your understanding.
• When booking a Golf & Cruise package and flights through Hapag-Lloyd, we will register your golf equipment directly with the airlines – when possible and required. The current baggage regulations of the relevant airline apply. In your travel documents, which you will receive about four weeks prior to departure, you will find relevant information about this. Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.
• Rental clubs for right-handed and left-handed players are available on board, subject to a surcharge.
