Singapore River Cruise

1. Clarke Quay: Start your Singapore River Cruise from the main commercial port of Singapore significance which has now turned into a famous tourist attraction. It now has everything from tasty treats to adventure activities and even a museum to learn about the heritage of Singapore. It is an ideal place to indulge in fun and exciting activities and lights the whole area with beaming lights at night.

2. Boat Quay: Well known for the thriving nightlife, it was once the center for trading activities on the Singapore River. The unique charm of the quay adds character to the place with the warehouses and shophouses that are located by the river. It is a remnant of the old docks which now offer a laid back dining and drinking experience.

3. Merlion park: The Merlion at the park is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Featuring a 70 ton statue of the national mascot of Singapore, Merlion park is an iconic site which every tourist visits at least once. You will observe the endless spitting of water by the Merlion which is believed by the locals as a preservation of good luck.

4. Esplanade: Singapore’s national performing arts center has a huge seating capacity of about 1,600 people for a concert hall and about 2,000 for the performing arts. It is one of the busiest arts centers in the world which has presented more than 49,000 performances and activities since its opening in 2002.

In the evening between 5 PM to 7 Pm is the best time to go for a river cruise in Singapore as it is around the time of sunset and the temperature is comparatively cooler in the evening and you can observe the shoreline while the city is moving.

Singapore River Cruise seems more lucrative and eye-appealing during Festivals in Singapore.

The Singapore river cruise is done on the old bumboats that have been re-engineered for this purpose. These bumboats were used to transport cargo and goods in the earlier days of Singapore. They were an important part of the trading activities and now they are a major tourist attraction in Singapore.

These river cruises offer a wonderful blend of Singapore’s history, colourful heritage and its modern lifestyle. You can view the most amazing landmarks of Singapore from the cruise such as the colourful shops of Clarke Quay, rows of old shops along Boat Quay, the Esplanade Singapore, The Merlion Park, Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. You can also enjoy the Singapore river cruise with dinner on board while taking in its magnificent skyline.

Clarke Quay is the starting point of the Singapore River Cruise through which you will be able to explore the Marina Bay sailing on traditional bumboats. Your boat will follow the following route: Clarke Quay>Read Bridge>Boat Quay>Fullerton>Merlion park>Bayfront South>Esplanade>Clarke Quay.

It takes 40 minutes once you board the boat from Clarke Quay to make a roundtrip through the Marina and conclude your cruise at the beginning point. This time is only the activity duration; some buffer time is also needed for everyone to board the boat and then get off the boat at the end of the cruise.
