Excursion Singapore on your own exploration tour at Singapore
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Explore this vibrant city state on your own pace.
Orchard Road Self-exploration
Depart from the pier for 30 minute drive to your first stop for self-exploration at Orchard Road.
Orchard Road is the symbol of consumerism. Singapore is the world's largest consumer and a good reflection of this is Orchard Road - an avenue of 2km with a concentration of over 50 shopping centers of all kinds. The best and the most exclusive brands can be found here. But there are also shopping centers at affordable prices for all budgets. The malls are both above and below the street, in fact all are connected by "connections" so there is no need to go outside to go from one to another. For shopaholics this is THE street. A stylish and cosmopolitan street where you can find anything.
China Town Self-exploration
Proceed to the second stop of the day for your self-exploration adventure.
In Chinatown, stroll along Pagoda Street and get a glimpse of the Chinese influenced curios, accessories, apparel and much more.
It is a good place to hunt for local souvenirs and gifts to take home.
You can also view the Sri Mariamman Temple which dates to 1827 and is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore.
Chinatown Food Street is one of the best places to eat tasty and authentic local food in Singapore. The venue is roofed and even has an integrated cooling system, making it a perfect all-day dining spot in Chinatown in any weather. You can find the array encompassing a wide range of flavours from across Singapore, China, and the rest of Asia. If it is your first time to Chinatown Food Street - or if you are one of those who are picky when it comes to choosing what to eat - it might be a bit tricky to decide what to go for.
Marina Bay Center Self-exploration
Before you head back to your ship, you will have an opportunity to marvel at the collection of architectural icons that dot the impressive skyline of this tiny city state at Marina Bay Center. You may wish to take a walk along the scenic waterfront promenade decorated with artistic sculptures. If you have yet to see more skyline, head up 57 storeys to the SkyPark Observation Deck which boasts scenic views of the panoramic vistas of Marina Bay and Singapore's world-class cityscape. You are now ready to head back to your ship with found memories and colourful snapshots of this beautiful, multifaceted island - Singapore!
