Singapore River Cruise


#TravelTuesday

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.

An outdoor openair seats were made available at the stern too. The passengers can now enjoy fresh air and unobstructed view of the spectacular Singapore River sights day or night.

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.

My brother and his whole family couldn't hide their appreciation on how beautiful and clean Singapore is when we cruised with them during their vacation here in 2009. 

My third sister and her whole family will be here for a weeklong vacation next month. I am now in the process of planning their Singapore Tour itinerary. I will surely include SRC just like what I always do when a family member complete with the whole gang visits us.

    I 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 :-)

    I 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! :)

    I'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! :)
