Onboard commentary runs throughout the cruise, covering the stories behind the sights and Singapore's growth from a small trading port into the city you see today.

Awesome Experience

5/5

This Singapore river cruise was one of the best things you did on our tour. Taking the charming cityscape of this city-state island from the water riding the eco-friendly and comfortable bumboat was a lovely experience.
