Tips

If you’d like to extend your stay, add a day on Sentosa to enjoy the Skyline Luge and the S.E.A. Aquarium; alternatively, you can shorten the trip by skipping the cruise’s shore‑excursions and spending that extra time exploring more of Singapore’s hawker centres and parks, which will also keep the budget lower.
