Step back in time and relive Singapore's colonial era on a journey along the historic Singapore River with the Singapore River Cruise, passing by iconic landmarks on a captivating journey. Delve into the city's rich history and witness the seamless blend of heritage and modernity during this 40-minute ride aboard a re-fashioned bumboat.
Once bustling with commerce, the Singapore River was the lifeline of trade, with godowns lining the quays and traditional bumboats ferrying goods along the Rochor, Kallang, and Singapore rivers from the 19th to the 20th century. Since 1987, the Singapore River Cruise has been preserving this historical facet, offering a unique perspective on modern Singapore from the decks of these traditional wooden boats.
As you cruise through the picturesque districts of Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, and Marina Bay, discover Singapore's old rustic charm with onboard commentary that unveils the tales of the Raffles Landing site and narrates the fascinating history of the river that breathed life into the city, passing by Singapore's landmarks that make up the nation's vibrant history.
Marvel at the futuristic architecture of Marina Bay Sands, adding a touch of modern splendour to this immersive journey through time, and don't miss the sights and sounds of Singapore's most famous river on a cruise you won't forget anytime soon, perfect for tourists and locals alike.
This is an excellent trip! As someone living in Singapore for many years, I gathered many new insights from the River Cruise such as the origins of the names of the bridges along the River! This really helped me to rediscover Singapore in a new and interesting way! Would definitely recommend to both locals and tourists alike!
Staying locally in China town and a 10 minute walk away from Clarkes Quay so we had decided to go for a sunset trip Easy transfer of voucher on the phone at the ticket office where the boats leave Great trio thoroughly recommended
great host
Loved this cruise experience and found it much better than an other tours taken in Singapore. The commentary was clear and informative. The ride was gentle and the views were amazing.
A relaxed cruise, with plenty of space and interesting commentary which was easy to hear.
I have been visiting Singapore so ,any times before but this was the first time I did this cruise as we were going with a slightly larger group of people who was their first time visiting. It was a great experience learning more about the history of Singapore while enjoying the breeze of wind and the view of skyscrapers and Merlion.
Very good and amazing view
Booking is seamless and better prices.
