Cruise Tour Shore Excursion
Singapore
is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets.
In just 150 years, Singapore has grown into a thriving
center of commerce and industry. At
first glance, this diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia
shines with modernism and commercialism, making it seem more Western than
Eastern. But as you continue to discover
the city-state, you'll uncover the mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures
and British colonial impressions that make Singapore unique.
Singapore is the busiest port in the world with over 600 shipping lines sending
super tankers, container ships and passenger liners to share the busy waters
with coastal fishing vessels and wooden lighters. One of the world's major oil
refining and distribution centers, Singapore is a major supplier of
electronic components and a leader in shipbuilding and repairing. It has also
become one of the most important financial centers of Asia,
with more than 130 banks.
A dose of history awaits
you and your family at the
Changi Museum War Trail. The trail will bring you back into the past as you
explore and discover
Singapore
during the war-stricken years of the Japanese Occupation. Explore Singapore’s
colonial past, starting at The
Arts House at the Old Parliament House – an iconic building in itself. Now
an arts venue, this is the oldest surviving government office where Singapore's
political leaders once took center stage in debating hot issues of the day.
