Singapore River Cruise FAQs

1. Clarke Quay: Beginning your Singapore River Cruise from this important main commercial port, which is now a well-known tourist destination. It currently features a museum where visitors can learn about Singapore's history in addition to delicious foods and adventurous activities. It is the perfect location for engaging in thrilling and enjoyable activities, and at night, the entire region is illuminated with brilliant lights.

2. Boat Quay: Previously the hub of Singapore River trade, it is well-known for its vibrant nightlife. The warehouses and shophouses near the river lend character to the area, which is enhanced by the quay's distinct charm. It's a relic from the former docks that provides a relaxed dining and drinking experience.

3. Merlion Park: The Merlion is a legendary animal that has the body of a fish and the head of a lion. Merlion Park, home to a 70-ton statue of Singapore's national symbol, is a famous location that every traveler should see at least once. You'll notice that the Merlion is always spouting water, which the locals think is a way to keep good luck alive.

4. Esplanade: The national performing arts facility of Singapore can accommodate a large number of people—roughly 2,000 for the performing arts and 1,600 for a concert hall.
