Tips on Visiting Singapore

What to Pack

Packing for your Singapore cruise is simple: prioritise coolness, comfort and preparedness for both sun and sudden showers!
The core of your luggage should consist of breathable lightweight materials like linen and cotton perfect for the city's year round tropical heat. Be sure to pack a light jacket or cardigan to handle the notoriously strong air conditioning found on the ship and indoors.
Focus on practical items: comfortable walking shoes are essential for sightseeing and a small foldable umbrella is invaluable for those quick tropical rain bursts. Complete your kit with high SPF suncream and a pair of sunglasses for this dazzling Asian hub.
