Depart the pier and head out to visit Singapore’s Taoist temple, built in 1821.
Gain insight into Singapore’s history on a riverboat cruise. The Singapore River has seen 150 years of commercial activity and has been at the heart of the city’s growth from an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and metropolis. A 30-minute ride on a low-slung riverboat enables you to appreciate this transformation. Today, the Singapore River is still buzzing with life and activity, but the waterfront now plays host to a colorful kaleidoscope of restaurants, wine bars, entertainment spots and retail stores. You’ll also catch a glimpse, from a distance, of the famous Merlion fountain and Marina Bay Sands Hotel (weather conditions permitting).
Leaving the boat and river behind, board a motorcoach and continue to enjoy the sights of the colonial district known as Old Singapore. You will pass the Padang, City Hall, and St Andrew’s Cathedral, taking in some of the splendid architecture of a bygone era.
On Arab Street, take advantage of an opportunity to photograph the beautiful, gold-domed Sultan Mosque before driving past the legendary Raffles Hotel. Named after the British founder of modern-day Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, this property is one of the world’s finest and most famous hotels.
Enjoy a Singapore Sling cocktail at another leading hotel before returning to the ship.
