Dinner Cruise - $55 per person (hotel to pier transfer not included)
|
Journey begins at the Marina South Pier. Officially opened in 30 June 2006, the new Marina South Pier (MSP) replaces the old Clifford Pier, which ceased operations in April 2006, as the pier for domestic ferries and motor launches. This new sailing route offers an entirely different view of Singapore-one from out at sea.
Be it the day or the evening cruise, enjoy attractive sights of the vessels anchored in Marina South Pier bay, the Singapore Flyer, Sentosa Cove, Tanjong Pagar Container Port-the busiest in the world by shipping tonnage-and the coastline of Singapore's pleasure isle, Sentosa.
While sailing, marvel at the massive oil and petrochemical complexes, constructed on Bukom and Jurong islands. Further south, across the Phillip Channel, you can see the Riau Islands of Batam and Bintan in Indonesia. Phillip Channel is the international passageway through which all shipping between the Indian and Pacific oceans passes.
Highlights of the trip include: Stopover (except during the annual Kusu pilgrimage) on the Southern Island Paradise also known as Turtle island or Kusu Island, to visit an ancient Chinese temple, a terrapin sanctuary and a Malay shrine. During the ninth lunar month, the temple attracts thousands of pilgrims, praying for good health, babies and a peaceful life. (Day cruise only).
Pamper yourself with a sumptuous dinner on the Imperial Dinner Cruise. As dusk falls and twinkling lights appear, set sail on a romantic harbor cruise. The cool night air spells magic as silhouettes and shadows interplay with the lights from Marina Bay and ships in the Eastern Anchorage. Catch the sun setting over the western horizon while enjoying an appetizing local fusion buffet. Complete an enchanted evening by catching a view, from the sea, of the fireworks display by the "Songs of the Sea." |

Night Safari (evening tour) - $45 per person
|
Most animals are nocturnal. At dusk they begin to stir for the hunt. At the Night Safari these activities are captured to the best effect using subtle lighting that permits a close look while not disturbing the animals. The Night Safari houses over 1200 animals from 110 exotic species. Tiger, striped hyena, golden jackal, cape buffalo, blue sheep and the rare greater one-horned rhinoceros are but some of the animals you can see. The Night Safari covers an area of 40 hectares of secondary jungle with the Seletar Reservoir providing a beautiful backdrop. A tram ride, upon arrival at the Night Safari, is the easiest way to familiarize yourself with the large grounds. At the end of the ride, feel free to stroll and take a closer look at the animals. The sound of crickets and owls and the chance to see the tigers or hyenas feasting make for a truly memorable experience. |

Watch live demonstrations of pewter-making processes by skilled craftsmen.
