Singapore River Cruise Ticket

Highlights

  • Step back in time on a traditional bumboat for a 40-minute loop through the heart of Singapore. This scenic journey bridges the gap between the city’s historic colonial roots and its towering modern skyline.
  • Starting from the vibrant warehouses of Clarke Quay, you’ll drift past the heritage shophouses of Boat Quay before the river opens up into the stunning Marina Bay. From the water, you’ll get unobstructed, front-row views of the Merlion, the futuristic Marina Bay Sands, and the “Durian-shaped” Esplanade.
  • For the most “Instagrammable” experience, aim for a 7:30 PM departure. You’ll witness the city transition from a golden sunset into a neon-lit metropolis, often catching the spectacular Marina Bay light show right from your seat.
