Singapore
Set sail to Singapore, a city-state steeped with sharp and constant contrasts – packed with ancient shrines and temples in the shadows of skyscrapers, as well as luxury condos set against the backdrop of tropical rainforests. This small country is often dismissed as a location only for stop-overs, but it has reinvented itself as one of the hottest destinations in the world.
Singapore’s cloud-scraping towers and modern cityscape make for breathtaking panoramas, so it’s well worth viewing the island from great height! Whether you brave the Singapore Flyer or book a ticket to the Marina Bay Sands Sky Park, there are various ways to enjoy the views and the city lights from the heights. Once you’ve soaked in enough structured steel and glass for a life-time, explore some of the city-state’s verdant greenery. Your first nature-stop must be Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s futuristic park of colour that aligns to its paradisiacal vision of a ‘city in gardens.’ Then, you can stroll around the Singapore Botanic Gardens, an age-old tropical garden boasting a well-preserved landscape design and a UNESCO designation.
Complete your Singapore cruise with a quick side trip to Sentosa – an upscale island resort off Singapore’s southern coast, hosting pristine beaches and exciting attractions, including the Palawan Beach, Universal Studios Singapore and S.E.A. Aquarium.
