Our journey
begins at Raffles Landing Site. On January 28, 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford
Raffles set the wheel of Singapore's
contemporary history in motion when he stepped ashore on the northern
bank of the Singapore
River. It was his
foresight that resulted in Singapore's
development, with the Singapore
River as its
lifeline.
Today, while cruising the Singapore
River, one will marvel at the
extravagant contrast between the richly-mellowed old architectures and
strikingly skyscraper skyline of modern Singapore's tourism industry.
Admire magnificent colonial government buildings that reflect Singapore's
colonial heritage.
Fall in love with century-old godowns and shophouses restored to their original grandeur and
rejuvenated into some of the most enchanting and chic quayside dining and
entertainment destinations.
The cruise passes by many grand old bridges of diverse designs decorated
with quaint old lamps of a bygone era.
Through all these, one will learn the pivotal role Singapore
River played in bringing about
the phenomenally exceptional economic and social progress tiny Singapore
has made in a short period of time.
In fact, till today, legislative and judiciary decisions affecting a
nation and her people are still made on one bank of Singapore River,
while on the other bank are concentrated a nation's financial wealth.
An incredible microcosm of a nation's life and time, a rich kaleidoscope
of cultures and heritage, a colourful potpourri
of stories and anecdotes. Sail from the past, to the present and into the
future with us .
