About this experience

The Singapore River Cruise starts at the spot where Sir Stamford Raffles first set foot on Singapore, along the northern banks of the river. The journey highlights the contrast between the historic architecture of the quays and the modern skyscrapers of the central business district. Restored shophouses along the river now feature trendy dining and entertainment spots that come to life after sunset. As you cruise, explore iconic bridges like the Cavenagh, Clemenceau, and Anderson Bridges, and learn about the crucial role the Singapore River has played in the nation's development by visiting historical landmarks such as the Merlion, Raffles Landing Site, and the Esplanade.
