The city of Singapore has greatly invested in making its cruise facilities modern, luxurious, and state of the art.

Top Sights & Attractions for Cruises to Singapore

Gardens by the bay.

The Gardens by the Bay have become completely synonymous with Singapore. Here you’ll find sculptures in the shape of funky flowers lit up in bright colors. The garden is home to multiple greenhouses, like the Flower Dome, where the temperatures and the plant life are always in spring. In the Cloud Forest, a small mountain was built for visitors to scale, bringing a tropical mountain climate all the way to Singapore. Guided tours and shows happen daily, and there’s something for all ages here, including a children’s garden and a sculpture park.

Singapore Botanic Garden

This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the few places to see the island’s rarest vegetation and greenery, making it not only a paradise but also one of the most important preservation efforts in all of Asia. When you cruise Singapore, take a leisurely walk through the grounds, where you can literally stop and smell the flowers. The Orchid Garden offers the largest collection of orchids in the world, and imported swans float along Swan Lake for a romantic afternoon out.

Singapore Flyer

Take a ride on the incredible Singapore flyer, a massive Ferris wheel in the heart of Singapore. Rides last about 30 minutes and offer incredible, panoramic views of the city during the adventure. Watch the futuristic skyline on one side and the peaceful harbor as ships float in and out on the other. At night, the Flyer even lights up.

Night Safari

For a close look at some of Singapore’s most exotic wildlife, take an unforgettable night safari, where you’ll enjoy a tram ride through this nocturnal zoo in the heart of the rainforest while on your cruise to Singapore. Nearly 150 species call this ecosystem their home, and 38 of them are endangered. There are even shows like fire-twirling and dancing, and smaller group buggy rides through the park with an expert guide.

Top things to do in singapore, go shopping on orchard road.

The definitive spot for shopping in Singapore is Orchard Road, the shopping district home to over 5,000 businesses. You can lose track of time here while on a cruise to Singapore, whether you’re looking to explore art galleries, try on new clothes, or browse for high-end goods. There’s even a rare whisky museum where you can enjoy whisky tastings. Orchard Road is also home to many bars and restaurants that add to Singapore’s gourmet scene.

Board a Bumboat

One of the best ways to admire the Singapore skyline is by taking a scenic bumboat cruise down the Singapore River. From the water, you’ll marvel at the historic Boat Quay, as well as the city’s more modern architectural sites, including the towering Marina Bay Sands and Helix Bridge. If you board a bumboat at night, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy a thrilling laser show with music, light, and water that come together for a magnificent visual experience.

Walk Singapore’s Chinatown

When stopped before your cruise from Singapore, you’ll see the city has a vibrant energy that is infectious. Singapore’s Chinatown is a must-see for some of the cheapest, best street food in the city, shops featuring local artists and designers, and beautifully preserved temples. Walk the narrow streets, stop for a bite to eat, or tour the restored temple Thian Hock Keng.

Where should I eat in Singapore?

Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck

Make a reservation for one of the top spots for dim sum and its namesake, peking duck, here. There’s a location very close to the shopping along Orchard Road. This cozy spot is ideal for lunch after a long stretch of boutique hopping. You’ll want to plan ahead. Advanced orders are required if you want to nosh on the Beijing-style roasted duck.

Tarts at Tarte by Cheryl Koh

Address: #01-12, 1 Scotts Road, Singapore

When you’re craving sweets, Tarts at Tarte bring you pretty much every variety of tart, cake, and truffle available. Here you’ll find 66% dark chocolate tarts, blood orange tarts, and light-as-air sponge cakes. Bring some back to the ship with you as you cruise Singapore. Coffee and tea are menu staples, too. 

Address: #01-03 Dorsett Residences, Singapore

The one Michelin-starred Candlenut frequently makes “best of” lists in Singapore for its gourmet takes on Peranakan cuisine. The menu changes based on seasonal and available produce, and also offers luxe a la carte options from baby squid to chicken curry. Chef Malcolm Lee brings an extravagance to recipes passed down through generations of family.

Park Bench Deli

Address: 179 Telok Ayer St., Singapore 068627

Unpretentious and styled like an American deli, Park Bench Deli is a place to hang out with a juicy sandwich and a cold beer. From a classic fried chicken sandwich to the more adventurous pastrami tater tots, head here for comfort food in the heart of Singapore.

What’s the culture and history of Singapore?

The island of Singapore was settled by the British in the early 19th century, who then built up the port and encouraged international trade to the area. Singapore gained independence in 1965 and quickly became one of the wealthiest and most expensive places in the world as investments in housing, education, and trade began to expand. Singapore’s culture is a melting pot, known for influences from both Asia and Europe, where you’ll hear residents speaking many languages from English to Mandarin to Tamil. Its warm climate year-round makes it a favorite for tropical weather lovers.

Where can I go shopping near the Singapore cruise port?

Find luxury brands and well-known names when you’re shopping at the Marina Bay Sands Mall, which is just a short 15-minute ride from the cruise center, particularly if you’re interested in high fashion and Singaporean designers. Singapore’s Chinatown is also a must-see for its energy, where vendors not only sell cheap eats at their stalls, but also offer fashion from independent and emerging designers and artists looking to support their craft. Because so many vendors also sell food, you can hop from boutique to boutique and stay close to some of the best food before your cruise from Singapore. 

How can I get around Singapore?  

Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is comprehensive and easy to navigate, not to mention efficient and clean. Hop off at the Marina South Pier station, just a short walk from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre, after spending time in downtown Singapore and the city’s main sights. Of course, taxis are very common in Singapore, but only stop at designated stands to drop you off once you’re in the city to curb traffic and make the drop-off process smoother for the city. Singapore doesn’t host ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft currently. The city’s trishaws are mostly a tourist activity now, so be careful not to pay too much for one. 

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

The official currency of Singapore is the Singaporean dollar (S$). Tipping isn’t common practice in Singapore, and credit cards are considered the norm here. You can find currency exchange at banks and conveniently at the cruise port, called the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore.

Ultimate Guide to Singapore & Thailand Cruise Itineraries: Season & Tips

by Judith Eve | Mar 10, 2024 | Cruise Travel Tips

cruise guide singapore

Embarking on a cruise to the enchanting realms of Singapore and Thailand offers an unparalleled adventure that's as vibrant and diverse as the destinations themselves. These itineraries promise a seamless blend of modern marvels, ancient traditions, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Imagine waking up to a new horizon each day, where the urban sophistication of Singapore's skyline transitions into the tranquil beauty of Thailand's idyllic beaches. It's not just a journey; it's an exploration of two worlds, each brimming with its own unique charm and wonders.

Exploring Singapore: Highlights and Activities

Stepping off the cruise ship in Singapore, travelers are greeted with a fusion of cultures that makes the city truly unique. Singapore's cleanliness and order are immediately noticeable, setting the stage for an unforgettable visit. Here, the adventure begins with the iconic Marina Bay Sands, where visitors can marvel at the SkyPark’s panoramic views of the city's futuristic skyline.

A visit to the vibrant Gardens by the Bay is a must. This futuristic park, home to the famous Supertree Grove and Cloud Forest, offers a surreal escape within the bustling city. Walking among these towering trees and exploring the world's tallest indoor waterfall, visitors quickly realize why this spot is a jewel in Singapore's crown.

For those seeking a taste of Singapore’s rich culture, a trip to Chinatown and Little India is highly recommended. These neighborhoods burst with the colors, flavors, and aromas of traditional markets and temples. Sampling local delicacies like Hainanese chicken rice or Laksa in these lively streets adds an authentic flavor to the journey.

Shopping enthusiasts find their paradise on Orchard Road, a boulevard lined with trendy boutiques, international brands, and bustling malls. Whether it’s high-end fashion or local designs, there’s something for every shopper here.

As the sun sets, Clarke Quay comes alive, offering a waterfront experience filled with dining, entertainment, and nightlife options. The area’s historical charm combined with modern vibrancy perfectly encapsulates the essence of Singapore.

Each of these highlights contributes to the rich tapestry of experiences available in Singapore. Visitors find themselves immersed in a world where tradition meets innovation, offering a glimpse into the dynamic spirit that drives this cosmopolitan city.

Discovering Thailand: Cultural Gems and Natural Beauty

cruise guide singapore

As the cruise ship docks in the vibrant country of Thailand, travelers step into a world where ancient traditions meet breathtaking natural landscapes. The journey begins in Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital, where they are greeted by the majestic Grand Palace and the sacred Wat Phra Kaew, home to the revered Emerald Buddha. These sites provide an awe-inspiring insight into Thailand's royal history and spiritual heritage.

Moving beyond the urban charm of Bangkok, guests venture north to Chiang Mai, known as the "Rose of the North." Here, they're immersed in a tranquil atmosphere far removed from the bustling streets of the capital. Chiang Mai offers a rich cultural tapestry, highlighted by its ancient temples like Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, perched high on a mountain and offering panoramic views of the city.

The adventure continues as they explore the pristine beaches and clear waters of Thailand's islands. Phi Phi Islands and Phuket stand out as quintessential tropical paradises, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and capturing picturesque sunsets that seem to ignite the sky with vibrant hues. The unique blend of serenity and natural beauty in these locales underscores Thailand's allure as a premier coastal destination.

For those inclined towards experiencing Thailand’s lush landscapes, a visit to the Khao Sok National Park is indispensable. Here , ancient rainforests, towering limestone karsts, and the serene Cheow Lan Lake create a breathtaking backdrop for jungle treks, canoeing, and wildlife spotting, bringing travelers face-to-face with the country’s diverse ecological wonders.

As the journey through Thailand unfolds, the cultural gems and natural beauty of the country weave a tapestry of experiences that are as diverse as they are mesmerizing. Each destination reveals a different facet of Thailand's rich heritage and scenic splendors, inviting travelers to delve deeper into the heart of this captivating country.

Best Time to Visit: Seasonal Considerations

cruise guide singapore

When planning a cruise to Singapore and Thailand, timing is crucial due to the region's tropical climate and seasonal variations. Both countries experience similar weather patterns, characterized by hot, rainy, and cool seasons. However, the best time to embark on a cruise in this enchanting region is typically during the cool season, from November to February, when the weather is more favorable for outdoor activities.

During these months, the temperature is comparatively cooler and the humidity is lower, making it ideal for exploring the bustling streets of Bangkok, the serene beaches of Phuket, or the futuristic cityscape of Singapore without the discomfort of extreme heat. This period also coincides with minimal rainfall , reducing the likelihood of outdoor plans being disrupted by sudden downpours.

It's worth noting that the hot season, from March to June, sees temperatures rising significantly, often reaching above 30°C (86°F). While this may be suitable for those who love the heat, it can be somewhat challenging for others, especially when participating in outdoor excursions or exploring city attractions.

The rainy season, from July to October, brings with it higher humidity and frequent rain showers, which can vary in intensity. While this season offers lush, green landscapes and fewer crowds, visitors should be prepared for unpredictable weather that could alter their travel plans.

Travelers should consider these seasonal factors when booking a Singapore and Thailand cruise to ensure that they experience these destinations in the best possible conditions. Keeping an eye on the weather forecast and packing accordingly can greatly enhance the overall experience, allowing for a seamless journey through these spectacular locations.

Cruise Options: Choosing the Right Itinerary

cruise guide singapore

When planning a cruise to Singapore and Thailand, travelers are met with an array of stunning itineraries. Each offers a unique voyage through these exotic locales. Choosing the right itinerary hinges on your interests, time availability, and what you wish to get out of your vacation.

Short Duration Cruises typically range from 3 to 5 days and are perfect for those looking to sample the delights of Singapore and Thailand without committing to a longer voyage. These cruises often focus on the highlights, such as Singapore's modern marvels and Thailand's breathtaking beaches.

Long Duration Cruises , on the other hand, extend beyond a week and allow for a deeper exploration. They likely include multiple stops in lesser-known ports, offering a more comprehensive experience of the region's culture, cuisine, and natural beauty. This option suits travelers keen on immersing themselves fully in Southeast Asian wonders.

  • Singapore captivates with its futuristic skyline, vibrant street markets, and lush green spaces. Notably, the Gardens by the Bay and Sentosa Island are must-visit spots.
  • Thailand boasts a mix of idyllic islands like Phuket and Koh Samui, alongside the bustling streets of Bangkok. Each destination offers a glimpse into the country's rich tapestry of experiences, from serene temples to lively night markets.

Travelers should also consider the type of cruise experience they prefer:

  • Luxury Cruises provide top-notch amenities, exquisite dining options, and often more personalized service.
  • Adventure Cruises focus on activities and excursions, such as snorkeling in crystal-clear waters or exploring hidden coves.

Ultimately, selecting the right cruise itinerary in Singapore and Thailand requires balancing one's preferences for leisure and adventure with the desire to explore new cultures. With careful planning, each traveler can find a cruise that not only meets but exceeds their expectations, diving into the heart of Southeast Asia in unparalleled style and comfort.

Tips for a Memorable Experience

When planning a cruise to Singapore and Thailand, travelers should not only focus on the destinations but also on how to enhance their journey. Preparation is key to ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. Here are some tips that can make a cruise in Southeast Asia unforgettable.

Firstly, packing smart is crucial. With the tropical climate of Singapore and Thailand, light and breathable clothing is a must. However, one shouldn't forget to pack a light jacket for cooler evenings on the sea. Additionally, bringing along appropriate attire for formal nights and any themed parties on board is advisable.

Choosing excursions wisely makes a significant difference. Both Singapore and Thailand offer a variety of shore excursions ranging from cultural tours to adventurous activities. To truly immerse in the local culture, one might consider options like a cooking class in Thailand or a heritage walk in Singapore. These choices not only provide unique experiences but also allow for a deeper understanding of the local way of life.

Another tip is to stay connected — but not too connected. While it's important to share experiences with loved ones, disconnecting from technology and being present can greatly enhance one’s travel experience. Many cruises offer internet packages, but taking a digital detox while exploring the wonders of Singapore and Thailand can be refreshing.

Lastly, engaging with fellow cruisers and the crew can enrich the journey. The ship’s crew are often locals or well-traveled individuals who can offer insights into the destinations visited. Likewise, connecting with other passengers can lead to friendships and shared experiences that last beyond the cruise.

Incorporating these tips into one’s cruise itinerary planning for Singapore and Thailand can significantly impact the overall experience, making it more enjoyable and memorable.

Key Takeaways

  • Singapore offers a blend of modern marvels like Marina Bay Sands and traditional markets in Chinatown and Little India, making it a rich tapestry of culture and innovation.
  • Thailand's natural beauty and ancient temples, such as Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai and the pristine beaches of Phuket and Phi Phi Islands, offer a diverse range of experiences from cultural immersion to marine exploration.
  • The best time to visit Singapore and Thailand on a cruise is during the cool season, from November to February, for favorable weather conditions and minimal rainfall, enhancing outdoor activities and exploration.
  • Choosing the right cruise itinerary depends on personal preferences for duration and experiences, with options ranging from short-duration cruises focusing on highlights to long-duration cruises for a comprehensive exploration.
  • Preparation tips for a memorable cruise experience include packing smartly for tropical weather, selecting shore excursions that deepen cultural understanding, embracing digital detox to enhance presence, and engaging with fellow cruisers and crew for enriched interactions.
  • Understanding seasonal variations and carefully selecting cruise options can significantly enhance the experience, making the journey through Singapore and Thailand both enjoyable and unforgettable.

Embarking on a cruise to Singapore and Thailand offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the beauty and diversity of Southeast Asia. Whether one opts for a quick journey hitting all the highlights or a leisurely voyage delving deeper into the region's wonders, the experience promises to be memorable. Remembering to pack smartly, choose excursions that offer a genuine taste of local culture, find a balance with technology, and connect with others on board can significantly enhance the journey. With these tips in mind, travelers are well-equipped to make the most of their Southeast Asian cruise adventure, creating lasting memories along the way.

The docks and terminals (services and amenities), embarking and disembarking, how to get around for cruisers to Singapore

By: Editor-in-Chief Updated: May 23, 2023

Singapore is both a major port of call and also a home (Embarkation-Disembarkation) port for cruises in the South East Asia itineraries. The city-state has two cruise ports and terminals.

As a rule of thumb, small and mid-sized cruise ships dock at the International Passenger Terminal , whilst larger ships dock at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre aka as MBCCS.

The International Passenger Terminal in Singapore Cruise Port

The International Passenger Terminal (IPT) is located on the western south shore of the city-state less than 3 miles (4.5 km) from the city’s downtown (with a population of 5.8 million). This terminal (IPT) is located next to the VivoCity shopping mall and right across the Sentosa Island, a major attraction of Singapore. Singapore Cruise Website: www.singaporecruise.com.sg

The Pier and Berths in the International Passenger Terminal

The International Passenger Terminal has one L shaped pier perpendicular to the coastline with 2 berths where two cruise ships can dock. Do not be confused with the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT) next to it.

Cruise travelers will find a very well kept terminal building many times referred to as HarbourFront Passenger Terminal, where you will find all basic services and amenities.

Once you walk down the gangway into the pier, there is one exit gate to the terminal. The exit gates are at no more than 500 feet (150 meters) from the gangway.

What's at the International Passenger Terminal in Singapore Cruise Port

Amenities and services.

Cruise travelers will find at the Terminal all amenities and services such as restrooms, 3 money exchange counters and ATM's, public phones, Internet with Wi-Fi, coffee shops, a 7-Eleven convenience store, vending machines, a few apparel stores and a branch of the Singapore Postal Services. The Terminal also has a very convenient (and affordable) Left Luggage service. Singapore Postal Services Website: www.singpost.com

Tourist Info in Singapore

You will find a tourist information counter in the terminal. There are also Tourist Information aka Visitor Centers booths around the city’s downtown.

Duty-Free Shopping at the IPT Terminal

Cruise travelers looking for duty-free shopping will be disappointed to know that there are only a few shops at the cruise terminal. However, just next to terminal you will find all major brands and chain stores at the VivoCity Shopping Mall, which is the largest retail venue in Singapore. VivoCity Website: www.vivocity.com.sg

Transportation at the International Passenger Terminal

Cruise travelers planning to explore Singapore on your own will find that the city has a efficient, modern and affordable transportation network.

Limousines and Taxis

The Limousine Counter is on Level 1 (Main Concourse just outside the Arrival Hall) with fares to top attractions around SGD$50 (US$36). Taxis are available right outside the Terminal building. All taxis are metered and take around 10 to 15 minutes to the city center and around 30 to 40 minutes to the airport.

Underground and Public Bus

The MRT is am excellent underground/subway network with stops close to all main attractions in Singapore and also with a connection to the airport. There is a stop right at the HarbourFront on the North East Line (NEL), which has stops close to Chinatown, Clarke Quay and Little India. Right outside the main exit of the HarbourFront Terminal there are bus stops to most directions, with buses taking around 20 minutes to the city center. Singapore Public Transportation Website: www.sbstransit.com.sg

To See and Do Close by the International Passenger Terminal

Just outside the HarbourFront Terminal building, on your right (east) cruise travelers will find the VivoCity shopping mall. On the left side of the Terminal, there is a Cable Car to the Sentosa Island. If this top attraction of Singapore is on your plans, you may also consider using the Sentosa Express monorail, which has a stop located at VivoCity (Lobby L, Level 3).

Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore Cruise Port

The Marina Bay Cruise Centre (aka MBCCS) where larger ships dock is located on the south shore of the city-state around 2 miles (3 km) from the downtown. MBCCS Website: mbccs.com.sg

Pier and Berths in Marina Bay Cruise Centre

There is one long pier on Marina Bay which is perpendicular to the coastline with two berths for two cruise ships. This is where large ships of up to 220,000 GMT and up to 360 meters (1,181 feet) in length dock. However, small ships of cruise lines like Azamara, Seabourn or Silversea also dock at the Marina Bay Cruise Center.

Cruise travelers will find in the port one modern cruise terminal on two levels where you will find all basic services and amenities.

Once you walk out of the ship you will be on a covered corridor at no more than 500 feet/150 meters to the entrance to the Terminal building. Before entering the terminal, all passengers will be checked by Singapore Customs. Insiders Tip: make sure to have your passport ready.

Amenities and Services in Marina Bay Cruise Centre

Cruise travelers will find at the terminal (on level 2) amenities and services such as a restrooms, the CIMB Bank currency exchange kiosk, 3 ATM's, a Mobilephone shop, a cafeteria and Watsons convenience store. Wi-Fi is provided by the Marina Bay Cruise Centre FREE inside the terminal. On Level 1 (ground-floor) cruise travelers will find restrooms, a left luggage service and the CruiseFly counter that offers affordable transfers to the airport.

Monthly Climate Averages for Singapore

Sightseeing:

Singapore is a small country on a small island, but with over four million people it's a fairly crowded city. The center of the city - consisting roughly of Orchard, the Riverside and a chunk of Chinatown - is known in acronym-loving Singapore as the CBD (Central Business District).

  • Riverside - (also known as Civil District); Museums, statues and theaters, not to mention restaurants, bars and clubs.
  • Orchard Road - Miles and miles of shopping malls.
  • Bugis and Kampong Glam - Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's old Malay district, now largely taken over by mall-shopping, although Arab Street in the Kampong Glam area is well worth a visit for its eclectic mix of unique shops and restaurants.
  • Chinatown - The area originally designated for Chinese settlement by Stamford Raffles. Now a Cantonese enclave in predominantly Hokkien Singapore.
  • Little India - A piece of India to the north of the city core.
  • Balestier, Newton, Novena and Toa Payoh - Budget accommodations and Burmese temples within striking distance of the center.
  • North and West - The northern and western parts of the island, also known as Woodlands and Jurong respectively, form Singapore's residential and industrial hinterlands.
  • East Coast - The largely residential eastern part of the island contains Changi Airport and many famous eateries. Katong is located in the East Coast and is famous for its Peranakan food, such as laksa. Joo Chiat has some well-restored Peranakan houses with characteristic intricate architecture. Also consists of Geylang Serai, the true home of Singapore's Malays.
  • Sentosa - A separate island developed into a resort, Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets to Disneyland.
  • A relatively short journey takes one to the Marina Bay area and in particular, the Marina Bay laser-light show. This occurs twice-nightly and is an attraction that draws thousands of people, both on the river-boats or sitting and standing on the beautiful esplanade which faces the bay. Here is the famous Singapore ‘ Merlion ’ and the surrounding area of the Bay is a mass of colour.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Explore Singapore via the public transport system with The Singapore Tourist Pass . Designed to give tourists the best value and ease of travel, the STP is available as 1 - Day, 2 - Day or 3- Day passes at only S$10 per day. It comes with a rental deposit of S$10 which is fully refundable if the card is returned within 5 days of issuance. If you plan to make 4 or more uses of the excellent and easy to use public transportation it is worthwhile.

Singapore City Hop-on Hop-off Tour What better way to zip about town to visit the places of interest than on the SIA Hop-on bus? Visitors can get unlimited air-conditioned rides that will take them to over 20 of the most popular attractions in the City. The bus will stop at major shopping malls and hotels such as Raffled City, Singapore Botanic Garden and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay as well as ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street. Passengers can get on and off whenever they want. Take a cab to the nearest stop.

Over 15,000 air-conditioned cabs ply local roads and provide comfortable, hassle-free travel at a very reasonable cost. All taxis are metered and honest. When it rains, do not expect to flag down a taxi.

Trishaws, three-wheeled bicycle taxis, haunt the area around the Singapore River and Chinatown. Geared purely for tourists, they aren't really recommended for serious travel and locals do not use them. There is little room for bargaining: short rides will cost $10-20 and an hour's sightseeing charter about $50 per person.

Classic walks in Singapore include walking down the river from the Merlion through the Quays, or just strolling around Chinatown, Little India or Bugis.

For spectacular views take a ride on the Singapore Flyer , an enormous Ferris Wheel, that is as high as a 70 story building.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Shopping and food.

Located next to the Singapore Cruise center is Vivo City, the largest multi-experiential retail and lifestyle destination in Singapore, featuring about 450 outlets.

Singapore enjoys a reputation as a shoppers paradise, with no import duty or sales tax on most items. The famous shopping area is along Orchard Road, but the more colorful, ethnic shops are found in the sectors of Little India, Arab Street and Chinatown. Handicrafts, cloisonne ware, antique porcelain, jewelry and framed silk tapestries may be some of the items you may want to consider buying. Bargaining is an accepted practice in smaller shops and markets, while prices in more upscale shops and department stores are fixed.

Chewing gum absolutely not allowed! Drinking and eating on public transport strictly prohibited! Not even water!

The local currency is the Singapore dollar. ATMs are ubiquitous in Singapore and credit cards are widely accepted (although shops often levy a 3% surcharge, and taxis a whopping 15%).

If you arrive by cruise ship from another country you will have to declare the amount of cigarettes you have with you and will be taxed accordingly. For a carton: Euro 46 or U.S. $68, if you do not: expect a 20 times higher fine! They will not tell you this in the ship's tax free stores.

Sailing on a cruise ship is a beautiful experience, but it’s essential to be aware of the safety tips for cruise sailing before you go. So, by being familiar with these tips, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Here are among the most crucial things to keep in mind.

#1. Consume Alcohol in Moderation

On cruises, alcohol is a big contributor to personal safety problems, so take it easy on the liquor. Know your limitations. There’s plenty of alcohol on the Singapore Cruise, and it’s easy to overindulge, but keep track of whatever you’re drinking. Also, keep an eye on who offers you drinks and refuses to take beverages from outsiders.

#2. During the Muster Drill, Give Heed

Before embarking on the trip, you must participate in a safety exercise to learn how to react in an emergency. The drill includes:

  • Key information like the placement of lifeboats.
  • The use of life vests.
  • The ship’s escape routes.

Also, pay attention to the team members’ directions and security demonstrations.

#3. Keep Your Belongings in the Safe.

If you are carrying any valuables like a laptop, cash, jewellery, watch, etc., on your Singapore Cruise, ensure to use your safe to keep your belongings safe.  

#4. Be Aware While Socializing.

Before making friends with someone on the ship, you should employ utmost caution. Accepting invitations to cabins is a bad idea, especially if you’re intoxicated. Avoid disclosing too many personal details about yourself to your fellow travellers. A person who is overly nice to you can have ill motives. 

#5. Carry Less Cash.

It’s pointless to bring a substantial sum of money on board a Singapore cruise ship unless you’re involved in gambling. Without utilizing liquid cash, you can complete all of your payments using a credit card. Also, don’t bring anything valuable with you.

#6. Keep a Scanned Copy of Your Passport.

Your passport is vital whenever it relates to international travel. So ensure that you always have a scanned copy of your passport on your Google Drive or Dropbox, and don’t carry your passport unnecessarily everywhere on your Singapore cruise.  

Moreover, have a copy of your passport with you while moving on the cruise. Also, leave a copy of your passport at your home, with your family.  

#7. Carry Your Medication

Take any prescribed or medical-incident-related medications with you at all times while onboard. Take your regular medications if you have any conditions and for safety purposes, keep your prescription handy.   

It’s usually a good idea to keep a healthy stock of over-the-counter medications on hand.  

#8. Follow COVID-19 Protocols

 Lastly, adhere to all the COVID-19 safety protocols to have a safe vacation. Avoid staying in crowded places, practice frequent sanitization, and wear your masks.

Cruises to Nowhere from Singapore

In early-October 2020, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) started developing new health and safety protocols to allow cruises to nowhere - itineraries leaving roundtrip from Singapore and with no call ports along the route.

The new proposal came after Singapore Airlines announced in September that they would offer 3-hour "flights to nowhere" (sightseeing roundtrips) from Singapore's Changi Airport. However, Singapore Airlines later canceled the program due to active criticism from local environmental campaigners.

STB hired DNV-GL (Hovic Norway-based risk management company and accredited registrar and classification society) to create a compliance and certification scheme to help passenger shipping companies who want to restart voyages out of Port Singapore as the country was still in lockdown due to the Coronavirus crisis.

STB's Regional Director of the Americas (Rachel Loh) advised that the companies (ship operators and shipowners) would need to pass an audit for certification to return to cruising plus the ships would be allowed to accommodate only 1/2 of their max passenger capacity for the first 3 months of operation.

There is no official date for when "Singapore cruises to nowhere" will commence but all operators homeporting in Singapore were eager to restart operations after voluntarily ceasing voyages since March 2020.

  • Singapore cruise port can accommodate vessel with LOA length up to 1180 ft (360 m), draft up to 38 ft (11.5 m) and GT tonnage (volume) up to 220,000 tons. The passengers capacity is 6800. Operator of Singapore cruise port (Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore ) is SATS-Creuers Cruise Services.
  • Singapore Cruise Centre is located 10-min away from MBCCS. MBCCS (the old Singapore cruise port) was expanded in 2008. It is next to Vivo City and 20-min away from Singapore Changi International Airport.
  • Cruise ship terminal (dock) address: "61 Marina Coastal Drive, Singapore 018947 , Singapore"
  • Terminal building address: "Singapore Cruise Centre, 2 Maritime Square, Singapore 099255"
  • canal (berth) length - 360 m (1180 ft)
  • max allowed draft - 11,5 m (38 ft)
  • max GRT tonnage - 220,000 tons (the world's biggest cruise ships)
  • terminal area size - 120 x 335 m (390 x 1100 ft)
  • terminal area space - 28,000 m2 (300,000 ft2), approx 3 football fields
  • The new terminal is expected to serve over 1,5 million cruise passengers per year.
  • MBCCS has an amazing architectural design by RSP Architects Planners and Engineers Bermello, Ajamil and Partners. The arrival and departure halls are spacious and lively, the roofscape resembles waves that are breaking in the shore. The panels of glass and aluminium are alternating along the terminal length.
  • terminal features - arrival/departure hall, GTA (ground transportation area), design (angular form, aluminium/glass panels, multi-dimensional roof /changing it shape as the cruise ship approaches).
  • Sea waves break form at the terminal-GTA junction. Broken waves slide up the shore over the ground transportation area. The waves breaking point is the point of separation between the GTA and the cruise terminal. This area is the main entrance to the terminal.

In October 2018, MBCCS revealed its plans to use “Smart Terminal Solution” technology to better handle the increasing passenger and ship traffic. By year 2035,  Southeast Asia is expected to receive up to 4,5 million cruise passengers annually.  The new technology manages big data by using  smart sensors, central command-and-control system, and video analytics, and offers:

  • Improved tourist experience via video analytics (enabling system-assisted decision-making). Strategic terminal locations (check-ins and baggage area) benefit from smart sensors providing real-time monitoring of passenger traffic to detect congestions.
  • Better resource planning via processing info on passenger demographics, homeport and itinerary length to better service ship calls via predictive analytics.
  • Quick response to accidents via apps allowing terminal staff to upload photos and create accident fact report through mobile phones.
  • Enhanced surveillance via digital maps for quick access to real-time CCTV footages.
  • Improved baggage tagging accuracy via passports scanning.

Cruise ship terminal directions and parking

Singapore has an excellent MRT (subway system) with numerous stations.

Between November and February is the best time to visit Singapore because the city is all lit up for Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. It's advisable to book your Singapore tour package well in advance, especially if you plan to travel during peak seasons.

Singapore Botanic Gardens, Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa , and other well-known locations are among the must-sees while in Singapore. A large number of these are included in the Singapore packages.

In addition to all the amazing things about this country, food has a special place in my heart. You should sample some of the delicious food in Singapore, such as fish head curry, satay, char kuay teow, Hokkien prawn mee, barbecued stingray, and Hainanese chicken rice.

Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Chinatown, Little India, VivoCity, Haji Lane, Clarke Quay, IMM, Bugis Street, Holland Village, City Plaza, Lucky Plaza, Scape Underground, Anchorpoint Shopping Center, Tanglin Mall Bazaar, Mustafa Center, Far East Plaza, Pasarbella, and The Editor's Market are some of the best places to shop in Singapore.

Given its wealth of attractions and activities, Singapore is undoubtedly the perfect place to spend a honeymoon. You can select a Singapore travel package from the SingaporeStarCruise.com website to enhance your honeymoon experience.

Singapore is the ideal place to take a family vacation. There are many of interesting locations for the kids to visit, but there are also lot of activities for you to do in the countryside. You can choose from a variety of Singapore packages on the SingaporeStarCruise.com website. You can select the greatest bargain by going through the list.

Yes, they do. The high commission does not accept walk-in applications, thus they must apply for an E-visa.

Cucina del Capitano menu: What to expect when you eat at Carnival Cruise Line's Italian restaurant

Ashley Kosciolek

Cucina del Capitano, Carnival Cruise Line 's Italian restaurant, is a cruiser favorite. It offers a delightful, cozy spot to gather over a delicious meal, and there's something for just about everyone — from the biggest foodie to the pickiest eater — on the menu.

Here's a guide to what you can expect when you dine there, including what's on the menu, how much it'll cost you and a list of ships where you can find this eatery.

What is Cucina del Capitano on Carnival cruise ships?

cruise guide singapore

Cucina del Capitano, which translates to "Captain's Kitchen" in English, is the Italian restaurant found on nearly one-third of Carnival's ships . It first rolled out on Carnival Magic in 2011, after the line decided to poll its Italian captains for their favorite recipes from home. From there, the Cucina del Capitano menu was born.

The restaurant offers delicious food options for cruisers who are hungry for traditional Italian dishes like pasta, chicken Parmesan and tiramisu that they can chase with a post-dinner limoncello.

Related: Carnival cruise food: The ultimate guide to restaurants and dining on board

While the decor and ambience can vary from vessel to vessel, the restaurants feel cozy, with family photos from the fleet's captains on the wall. You'll either be seated at a table with a red-and-white checkered tablecloth that makes you feel like you're sitting down to a backyard cookout or in a cozy alcove that makes the experience feel more like you've stepped into an Italian family's dining room for a big meal.

On most ships, the restaurant functions like a typical specialty restaurant . However, on Excel Class ships, the venue was designed as an overflow restaurant to take some of the pressure off of the main dining rooms during peak times. The restaurant is open to everyone, but only passengers with Your Time Dining — which allows cruisers to dine anytime they wish between 5 and 9 p.m. — can have dinner at Cucina del Capitano anytime during opening hours. Cruisers with set-seating dining are only allowed to eat there after 7:45 p.m.

Reservations are recommended.

Cucina del Capitano menu

cruise guide singapore

Meals at Cucina del Capitano are broken into four categories or courses: starters, soups and salads; mains and pastas; sides; and desserts. Captain-recommended favorites are noted on the menu.

You might choose to start with cured tuna, meatballs, deep-fried shrimp, minestrone soup or a caprese salad. For your main course, try linguine with clams, spaghetti carbonara, grilled fish, veal marsala, a pork chop or captain-favorite chicken Parmesan. You can also opt for steakhouse fare — including filet mignon, surf 'n' turf or a grilled lamb chop — for a $23 surcharge.

For your sides, pick from roasted broccoli and cauliflower, lentils, spinach or crispy potatoes.

If you still have room for dessert, options include an apple pastry, frozen lemon tarte, baba (Italian rum cake) or tiramisu, a captain favorite. You can also order specialty coffees and digestifs, including limoncello, amaretto, sambuca, grappa and more.

A selection of wine (red, white and rose) and beer costs extra unless you have a drink package that covers your beverage choice.

cruise guide singapore

A children's menu is available for kids 11 and younger. Selections include spaghetti with meatballs, fish sticks, chicken fingers, and macaroni and cheese, with a choice of either cannoli or lemon sherbet for dessert.

Additionally, six of the 11 ships that have Cucina del Capitano feature a free Captain's Pasta Bar option for lunch. The menu includes a choice of linguini, penne or farfalle, as well as sauces like tomato, Alfredo, white clam and meat sauce, as well as butter. Additional mix-ins include Italian sausage, chicken strips and a plethora of vegetables. Want something more hearty? You can also choose lasagna, and don't forget to toss in a side of Caesar salad or bread.

Note: Menu examples were accurate at the time of publication, but they are subject to change without notice.

Cucina del Capitano prices

cruise guide singapore

Pricing is a bit confusing, as it varies according to ship.

On the line's newest Excel Class ships , Cucina del Capitano is free for all passengers during their first visit to the restaurant. Additional visits are $8 per person. The only exception is Carnival Jubilee ; every visit is free during the ship's inaugural season. After that, it will share the same pricing as Carnival Celebration and Mardi Gras .

On the other eight ships that have the restaurant (see below), the cost is $24 per adult. Kids 11 and younger can dine for $11 from the children's menu.

Selections from the menu's steakhouse section will incur a fee of $23 per item. Alcohol costs extra unless you have a beverage package that covers it. An 18% gratuity will be added (except to free meals), and a $5 surcharge will apply for every main course after the first two per person.

The Captain's Pasta Bar, which is offered for lunch only on select ships, is complimentary.

Our Holiday Cruise Deal Guide

On a Royal Caribbean® cruise, you will find seemingly endless opportunities to kick your heels up, tempt your tastebuds and enjoy white-knuckle thrills that leave you craving encores! Whether you are going on a Caribbean cruise, a Mediterranean cruise, a cruise from Australia or any other Royal adventure, our cruise prices include all sorts of fantastic fun—like enjoying most of the ship’s shows and attractions, as well as access to select dining venues. But for more insider tips on how to maximise the value of your voyage, do read on!

1. Tips for finding the best holiday cruise deals.

What could be even sweeter than a Royal Caribbean® cruise? Regardless of your destination, you can score incredible holiday deals on cruise fares, special onboard experiences, shoreside excursions and more. We offer multiple choices of destinations and cruise lengths, beginning with two night getaways from Singapore for a quick reset and refresh. Summer cruises make a big splash with the kiddos, while our far-flung escapes to such destinations as Europe, Australia and the South Pacific will have you exploring the world’s best.

Wonderful deals can be had if your heart is set on one of these destinations. A little flexibility on travel dates, may allow you to save big on suites and balconies. After all, imagine soaking in the sights while sipping morning coffee from the privacy of your own balcony! It takes your cruise experience to another level. To get hooked up, simply sign up for our newsletter and be among the first to know of the latest offers, including flash sales, deals by destination, onboard spending credits and other irresistible deals. Our kids sail free promotion can add up to sizable savings for a family, while sharp discounts on a second fare is the ticket for couples to enjoy a dream get-away together.

2. Should I plan ahead, or should I wait until the last minute?

It’s an age-old question — does the early bird really get the worm, or are there perks to taking a “wait-and-see” approach? If you’re booking a cruise holiday, you’ll find there are benefits to both strategies. Planning ahead is a great way to score big savings , as Royal Caribbean® often runs early saver deals for guests booking well in advance. It’s also pretty safe to assume prices usually go up as availability goes down the closer you get to your sail date, so booking ahead is a surefire way to lock in a great rate. That said, booking a cruise at the last minute can also yield some unexpected savings, but only if your itinerary hasn’t sold out yet.

If you can be flexible when it comes to your travel dates, you’ll have your pick of unbeatable savings. Popular getaway dates — like the holidays , spring break , and  summer holidays — sometimes see the highest prices (though you might get lucky with a seasonal sale).

3. How to create your all-inclusive experience.

One of the factors that keeps our guests coming back year after year, is the incredible array of top-notch experiences included in their fare. There are exciting activities for young guests and grown ones; delicious dining ; show-stopping entertainment and heart-racing activities . You can occupy your every waking moment with our complimentary offerings, filling your days with thrills, fun and unforgettable moments! We also offer packages for guests seeking all-inclusive dining and beverage options. Our Specialty Dining Package covers meals at some of the finest restaurants in our fleet, epicurean delights that are a can’t-miss for foodies. And if lounging by the pool means holding something tall, fruity and frosty in your hand, our Specialty Beverage Package may be just the thing. It extends unlimited access to drinks, including alcoholic beverages, freeing you up to simply focus on your tan!

A guide to haugesund, norway, for cruise ship visitors.

  • Share to Facebook

  • Share to Linkedin

Haugesund is one of Norway's most popular cruise destinations.

Located on the southwest coast of Norway, Haugesund is a historic town recognized as one of the country’s premier cruise ports. As a cruise port, it appeals as a gateway to exploring Norway's coastal landscapes and rich Viking heritage.

In 2023, the city welcomed 125 cruise ship visits, accommodating more than 370,000 passengers, thanks to its ability to handle some of the world’s largest vessels.

Among these, Iona , one of Britain’s largest ships with a capacity of 5,206 passengers, makes regular stops here as part of its P&O Cruises Norwegian fjords tour. European focused lines AIDA and Costa Cruises make occasional calls at Haugesund, as do Cunard and Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.

Visitors can explore ancient monuments like the Haraldshaugen, stroll along the bustling waterfront, or venture into the surrounding countryside to discover serene trails and traditional farms.

Despite the rising number of visitors, there's no shortage of unique activities to explore on your own, away from the typical cruise line excursions.

WhatsApp Brand New iPhone Feature Just Launched That’s Much Easier To Use

Apple s iphone ai plans confirmed with new software upgrade, packers complete safety overhaul with georgia s javon bullard, discover the vikings at avaldsnes.

For 3,000 years, nearby Avaldsnes was a pivotal Viking power center, dominating the essential "Nordvegen" sea route.

Actors play the roles of Viking Age people at the Avaldsnes Viking Farm.

Today, the Nordvegen History Center delves into its storied past, revealing rulers known from sagas, archaeological discoveries, and tales of the Norse gods. History here is preserved in an underground museum, brought to life through modern storytelling techniques.

A short walk from the visitor center, the Viking Farm transports you back to the Viking Age with live demonstrations inside and out of reconstructed buildings. The site is particularly engaging for families, offering a range of activities that bring history to life.

Local bus routes 209 and 210 serve Avaldsnes on Karmøy Island from the center of Haugesund, with a journey time of approximately 25 minutes. The history center is a 10-15 minute walk from Avaldsnes.

Download the Kolumbus app to pay the 45 kroner fare ($4) or pay by card at one of the ticket machines in the downtown area. Check timetable information with Kolumbus .

Visit Norway’s National Monument

Extend your Viking Age experience with a visit to Haraldshaugen, also known as the National Monument of Norway. This site commemorates the 9th-century unification of Norway under King Harald Fairhair, and is believed to be his burial place.

According to the medieval book of Norwegian royal sagas, King Harald Fairhair is said to be buried ... [+] here at the National Monument in Haugesund.

A scenic 45-minute walk from the cruise port through central Haugesund and its northern suburbs, the monument offers panoramic views of the North Sea and surrounding landscapes.

The area is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quiet picnic, absorbing the region’s historical significance at your own pace. On the way, be sure to stop by the statue of King Harald Fairhair, staring out to sea opposite the city park.

If time is short, you can take the five-minute ride on local bus 231 from central Haugesund to the ‘Gard A’ bus stop, just a few minutes walk from the monument.

Enjoy a Boat Trip to Røvær

Escape the crowds of your cruise ship and downtown Haugesund by taking an enjoyable boat trip to the islands of Røvær to discover Norwegian island life.

Several daily ferries make the journey easy, allowing you to explore the island's diverse natural beauty on foot.

Climb to Bråvarden, the island’s highest point, for breathtaking views, or stroll along ‘Proposal Road’ to the Bridge of Love, where couples leave padlocks as tokens of affection. For a more relaxing day, unwind at the small beach or visit the Viking Age graves at Grønasvika.

Røvær is a small group of picturesque islands, home to just over 100 people.

Ferry tickets cost just 70 Norwegian kroner ($6.50) each way. Just be sure to double check the ferry timetable with Kolumbus to make sure you can get back to Haugesund in good time.

Downtown Haugesund

If you find yourself wandering through downtown Haugesund with time to spare, make sure to visit Viking Planet . Here, Haugesund’s Viking Age history is brought to life through immersive virtual reality, 3D presentations, and other digital experiences.

Of course, there’s more to Haugesund’s history than just its Viking roots. Karmsund Folkemuseum reveals the stories of the city’s involvement with shipping, fishing, and agriculture, in the 1,000 years since the Viking Age.

Elsewhere in the city, Our Savior’s Church is a striking red-brick, new Gothic church with a notable tower and room for more than 1,000 people inside. The church is usually free to enter on cruise days, although donations are appreciated.
