Now that Singapore has so successfully reinvented itself as a switched on "must-see" Asian city, that nation's focus has turned to becoming a leading Asian hub for international cruise ships.The state-of-the-art International Cruise Terminal, only minutes from the buzzy downtown area, is a glorious backdrop for any cruise ship's arrival.
The new terminal on Marina Bay has berths on either side of a roomy finger pier and will become an important gateway to Singapore with facilities to accommodate the world's biggest cruise ships from companies such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
One of the first mega-liners to use the new terminal is Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas which spends summer in Australasian waters from November this year.
Voyager of the Seas carries 3000 passengers and is the biggest cruise ship to home-port in Australia. An ice-skating rink, rock-climbing wall, basketball court, mini-golf course, and promenade deck for street theatre, dancing, and duty-free shopping are among its attractions.
