About City

Singapore has reinvented itself as one of the world’s best destinations. With sharp and constant contrasts all over this area you will struggle to find a more diverse and vibrant holiday experience anywhere else. The phrase ‘City in a Garden’ has been used to describe this magical location in which ancient forests and contemporary architecture blend into one. Old school jungle huts, chic cocktail bars and everything in-between, Singapore is a city of riches both natural and man-made. Singapore offers travelers so much more than just a stop-over destination, there is a wealth of culture and fun just waiting to be discovered.

With a primary rainforest in the city Centre, 4 nature reserves and 300 parks, there are plenty of green spaces to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. A harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture, Singapore is a dynamic city that’s rich in contrast and color. There is no better way to appreciate this than from the water where you can see old tradition against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers. Cruising in general is a great way to enjoy the beauty and diversity of South East Asia – and you would benefit from this with Singapore in particular. Bringing together the finest of both East and West you can experience a magical mix of culture in this city with a huge range of attractions on offer.
