Changi Airport to Marina Bay Cruise Centre, Singapore

Marina Bay

With a fleet of cruise ships departing and coming in to dock at the Marina Bay Sands Cruise Centre, it is sufficient to say that Singapore has even made cruising a rather fashionable enterprise.

With that said, what goes on after stepping out from the cruise centre and into the steel-and-glass embrace that entails Singapore’s welcoming? A world-class city-state engulfs the awestruck tourists and located around the visitors is Marina Bay itself, practically a centre for high-end, internationally-renowned holiday experiences.

The Genting Dream

Guaranteeing top-class hospitality, the Genting Dream Cruise is the ultimate holiday experience on sea! The cruise departs to popular destinations over the course of a few days such as Penang, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur, while offering guests a respite from the bustling city - quite literally - with all the amenities on board such as themed water slides, fine-dining experiences with culinary delights whipped up by in-house gourmet chefs, and comfortable, spacious bedrooms that have a distinct European element. Indeed, the only unfortunate part of the Genting Dream Cruise experience is at the end of the cruise where dismounting the ship is all but a bittersweet goodbye.

Walking through Marina Bay

Getting over the withdrawal symptoms from the pampering on the cruise ships would be difficult, but because one is ensconced in the luxurious embrace of Marina Bay, one simply could not despair for long. From high-end shopping sprees to journeys on foot around the Bay area, Marina Bay proves its charm as it gives tourists access to the hotspots around Singapore.

Marina Bay Sands

With its design inspired by card decks, the three towers of Marina Bay Sands rise up over the Singapore skyline, ultimately bridged across the top by the famously indulgent Skypark. Impressive in its construction and its appeal, Marina Bay Sands is a resort which offers guests a world-class experience that dictates their stay in Singapore.

Merlion Park

Depicted as a mythical creature with lion’s head and the body of a fish, the Merlion is the official mascot of the first-class metropolis that is Singapore. The iconic statue pays homage to Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village known as Temasek, as well as to Singapore’s original name: Singapura.

In all its majesty, the Merlion statue originally overlooked the mouth of the Singapore River before its relocation to Merlion Park in the year 2002, a feat that was ceremoniously welcomed by then-Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew.

Fullerton Hotel

The imposing silhouette of the Fullerton Hotel sets itself as the focal point of Singapore’s historical precinct. Located at the mouth of the Singapore River along which was the Fullerton Square, commercial hub in its heyday, the colonial-inspired structure of the 5-star hotel remains as a cultural landmark which bespeckles the bustling modern city of Singapore. The Fullerton Hotel Singapore stands witness to 90 years’ worth of the country’s rich history, and is a heritage treasure ready to house those who have an appreciation for luxury and culture.
