Enjoy a Weekend Cruise
As mentioned earlier, Singapore is home to a state-of-the-art cruise terminal and is very popular for cruises departing from there. A cruise can be a wonderful exploratory adventure where you can enjoy the endless sea beauty all day by boat. Several service providers in Singapore offer cruise services, one of which is the Royal Caribbean. This ship leaves Singapore for exciting trips to nearby Asian destinations. These cruises are considered rather expensive, but comparing the price of the cruise to any airfare, you can save a lot and enjoy the trip as well.
Walk Around Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is a huge natural park in the heart of Singapore. The park covers over 250 acres and has three coastal areas in the form of small gardens- Bay South Gardens (South Pier), Bay East Gardens (East Pier) and Bay Central Gardens (Downtown). The largest of these three gardens is Bay South Garden, located on the 150-acre Marina South. This large-scale project aims to improve Singapore’s quality of life through the development of Singapore’s native greenery and vegetation.
