SINGAPORE SHORE EXCURSION: MARINA BAY, MERLION & GARDENS

Singapore is small and the roads are good, so even a half day in port is enough for a proper look. Many cruises also start or end here; we can drop you at your hotel or the airport at the end. Our cruise groups did this tour in 2026.

The route

• The Merlion, the lion-fish statue on Marina Bay, with the Marina Bay Sands hotel across the water.
• Gardens by the Bay: the outdoor gardens and the tall "supertrees" are free; the two big glass domes need tickets.
• Orchids at the National Orchid Garden inside the Singapore Botanic Gardens, the national flower in hundreds of kinds.

Singapore is hot and humid all year, and it rains hard for short bursts. Bring water and a small umbrella.

How these shore excursions work

• Private tour for your group only, from a few people in a van up to a full coach.
• An English-speaking local guide meets you at the cruise terminal (or at the tender pier if your ship anchors).
• We plan the day around your ship's times and bring you back well before all-aboard.
• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.

Included

• English-speaking local guide
• Private vehicle with driver
• Entrance tickets and boat rides in the route you choose

Not included

• Lunch and drinks, unless we agree on a lunch stop in the price
• Tips for the guide and driver

Price

The price per person depends on your group size and the route. Tell us your ship, date and number of people and we will send a plan and a price.
