When you visit Singapore, I highly recommend that you include the Singapore River Cruise (SRC) in your itinerary.

SRC aims to preserve the heritage of the Singapore River, which I have to say is very clean and almost odourless.

During SRC's founding days sometime in 1987, the bumboats used are diesel-powered boats. In 2009, Singapore bade farewell to the old boats, it was phased out to make way for a smooth and relaxing cruise with electric bumboats.

I highly recommend river cruising at night at it is more cooling and the night views are spectacular:
If you wish to have boat seat cushions while cruising try The Duffy and know the difference. A 10-seater Duffy according to www.rivercruise.com.sg offers unrivalled elegance, performance and innovation. It is designed for people who have penchant for luxurious living. We have yet to try it so I couldn't give a review.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the river cruise until I read your post. We've been visiting Singapore regularly but never knew we could do a boat ride at Clarke Quay. Thanks for sharing this. :)

What a beautiful cruise with the family. Singapore is so pretty especially the night lights. I always miss the lights at night. Looks like everybody had a wonderful time :-)
ReplyDeletei'll keep this in mind sis. Singapore is definitely a must place to go see even once in a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI love river cruise and for me it's a way of my relaxation while enjoying the scenery.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful family bonding in a beautiful country. I have never been to Singapore yet.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many good things and read so many positive reviews about Singapore's River cruise. Now that I saw some photos of yours, I am more compelled to include the place in my wished destinations! Hopefully someday! :)
ReplyDeletewhat I love about seeing your family pictures Che is that they are always filled with such happiness, love those smiles, and your night shots of the river with singapore skyline is very much Cherrific and spectacular
ReplyDeleteA really great experience. Hope I can experience cruising the Singapore River.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know if I will ever get to experience this but reading about it here makes me want to see it for myself.
ReplyDeletewow, excited about another of your sisters touring SG with you!! can't wait to view and read on your SG tour with them! love love love the first photo of your mom and younger K...she looks so innocently sweet there with chubby cheeks! the solo shot of your sister made me wonder whether it was you...haha, you look alike just that you are slimmer I think...would love to go on SG river cruise on a beautiful night with you too!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI never had this SG cruise during my short stint there in 2011. I would definitely include this in my itinerary the next time out. EB agad tayo, Dokie. Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Singapore twice and I did the cruise twice, first was with a tour then the second was with friends who are now based there, always lovely to see the buildings and landmarks along the river. I hope we can visit SG again, :) great to see your family's enjoying the cruise. btw, did you know that some staff of the river cruise are Filipino? galing, noh! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! It'd really be awesome to experience this river cruise in SG. Thanks for this Ate, I'll definitely try when I get there.
