Singapore

Upon arrival at the airport or cruise terminal, you’ll be warmly greeted and escorted by private car to your choice of hotel. Our outstanding first class and luxury hotels have been carefully selected for their evocative ambiance, attentive service and excellent city-center locations.

Begin your guided exploration aboard a traditional Singaporean bumboat. Cruising along the historic Singapore River with your own personal native-born guide is the best way to get acquainted with the city’s vibrant modern spirit and its rich seafaring history. It was here along the riverbanks where Sir Stamford Raffles established the first trading port. Near the impressive Esplanade Bridge that spans the mouth of the Singapore River, you’ll step off in Merlion Park to see the city’s mascot, the Merlion. Continue with your private car, driver and guide through the impressive Civic District and past the Cricket Club, Parliament and City Hall. A guided visit through Thian Hock Keng Temple reveals one of the city’s oldest and most impressive Chinese temples. Built in 1839 to honor the Goddess of the Sea, this architectural treasure of stone and tile is adorned with dragons, phoenixes and other ornate carvings. Your final stop today will be at the National Orchid Garden. Housed within the Singapore Botanic Garden, this resplendent display features more than 60,000 colorful and delicate plants with 400 unique species of orchids and more than 2,000 hybrids. After returning to your hotel, the balance of your afternoon is free to explore and enjoy as you wish.  Meals B
