Singapore River Cruise FAQs

During my singapore river cruise, what attractions will i see.

1. Clarke Quay : Beginning your Singapore River Cruise from this important main commercial port, which is now a well-known tourist destination. It currently features a museum where visitors can learn about Singapore's history in addition to delicious foods and adventurous activities. It is the perfect location for engaging in thrilling and enjoyable activities, and at night, the entire region is illuminated with brilliant lights.

2. Boat Quay : Previously the hub of Singapore River trade, it is well-known for its vibrant nightlife. The warehouses and shophouses near the river lend character to the area, which is enhanced by the quay's distinct charm. It's a relic from the former docks that provides a relaxed dining and drinking experience.

3. Merlion Park : The Merlion is a legendary animal that has the body of a fish and the head of a lion. Merlion Park, home to a 70-ton statue of Singapore's national symbol, is a famous location that every traveler should see at least once. You'll notice that the Merlion is always spouting water, which the locals think is a way to keep good luck alive.

4. Esplanade : The national performing arts facility of Singapore can accommodate a large number of people—roughly 2,000 for the performing arts and 1,600 for a concert hall. Since its establishment in 2002, it has hosted over 49,000 performances and events, making it one of the busiest arts venues in the world.

What is the best time to visit Singapore River Cruise?

The ideal time to take a river cruise in Singapore is in the evening, between 5 and 7 p.m., when the sun sets and the weather is slightly lower. You can also take in the waterfront scenery as the city is in motion.

During Singapore's festivals, Singapore River Cruise becomes more profitable and visually appealing.

Singapore river cruise Guide: All you need to know before visiting

• June 24, 2022
• Blog , Travel

One of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences that most travelers look forward to is going on a river cruise. Still, boats have always been a big part of Singapore’s economy, and you’ll get to see this for yourself while taking in the beautiful views along the waterfront.

One of the businesses that run tours and water taxis along the waterways of the Singapore River is called the Singapore River Cruise, and it is one of the firms that operate on those waters.

The trips are conducted in contemporary boats powered by electric motors, but they are disguised to seem like traditional bumboats (boats used in the region).

They go on a cruise along the Singapore River, during which they pass through Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, and Robertson Quay. In addition to that, it offers a brief tour of Marina Bay, which gives you the opportunity to see familiar elements of the city from a fresh perspective.

On this page, the rates for the tour may be viewed for your convenience. Some of the places where this company lets people stay are close to the ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Merlion Park, The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore Flyer, Boat Quay, Raffles Landing Site, Riverside Point, Liang Court, Robertson Quay, and Grand Copthorne Waterfront.

Those who want to know what the tour is like but don’t want to spend so much money or don’t have the time available can hop on a water taxi next to Merlion Park and cross the bay to the ArtScience Museum in the Marina Bay Sands complex – or travel in the opposite direction. This is an option for those who don’t have the time or money to take the full tour.

Ducktours is another firm that provides tours on the Singapore River, but with boats that have fewer themes.

Activities at Singapore river cruise:

• Witness the gorgeous edifice of Singapore when you come across the Fullerton, which was completed in 1928.
• Consider booking a bumboat tour in Singapore with the Singapore River Cruise.
• See the massive Esplanade, which houses the art center’s theatre.
• Explore a beam-structured bridge as you sail by the amazing splendor of the Read Bridge.
• Boat Quay, one of Singapore’s most beautiful quays, is a great place to take photos.
• Reach the boarding location, Clarke Quay, and be set for the exciting voyage for 40 minutes.
• Grab the opportunity to view the iconic construction of the Merlion in Singapore.
• The Bayfront, south of Singapore, is the next stop on your journey.

10 most interesting places in Yaroslavl Region (PHOTOS)

1. H istorical center of Yaroslavl

Church of Elijah the Prophet

Yaroslavl is located at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl rivers. This is the capital of the region (and the unofficial capital of the ‘Golden Ring’ tourist route) and a beautiful city with a thousand-year-long history; some of its landmarks are depicted on the 1,000-ruble bill.

The city is, at the same time, very modern – with bars and restaurants to satisfy every taste; that said, it is saturated with history and a rich cultural heritage. So, you can stay awhile and spend quite some time visiting attractions and churches… (don’t miss the Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve and the 17th-century Church of Elijah the Prophet!). You can read a detailed guide of Yaroslavl here . 

Aerial view of the city center

Even if you don’t like to go to museums, we still recommend you to visit the ‘Golden Ring’ show market, where you can see the main attractions of all the ‘Golden Ring’ cities in one room – well, a miniature version of them! It’s not simply static architecture in miniature, it’s an entire living world. Trains and cars move around, power stations are in operation, you can also hear church bells ring. Night comes every 10 minutes; lights spark up in the cities and in the windows of apartment blocks.

‘Golden Ring’ show market

Such an attraction is fun for both adults and children! You can see more videos and photos here . 

2. Pereslavl-Zalessky

The 12th century Transfiguration Cathedral and the monument to Alexander Nevsky

This is the first city of the region along the way for a tourist en route from Moscow to Yaroslavl. It’s also included in the ‘Golden Ring’. Pereslavl-Zalessky has one of the most ancient surviving churches of Russia – the 1152 (!) Transfiguration Cathedral. Almost every house here has a unique “museum” with its own theme, from vintage irons to gramophone records.

Locomotive Museum in Pereslavl

One of the most unusual ones hides in the forests not far from the city – the Pereslavl Railway Museum under the open sky. Examples of different locomotives and coaches since the beginning of the 20th century are collected there. You can also have a ride on a real draisine (a light auxiliary rail vehicle).

You can read a detailed guide to Pereslavl-Zalessky here .

3. Lake Pleshcheyevo

Lake Pleshcheyevo and the Church of the Forty Martyrs

Pereslavl-Zalessky stands on the shore of quite a large body of water. This lake is famous for the fact that Peter the Great trained his amusement fleet there. A museum stands on the shore, where the small boat ‘Fortuna’ is exhibited, built by Peter the Great himself, according to legend. 

‘Fortuna’ boat built by Peter the Great

Near Lake Pleshcheyevo lies an ancient artifact of pagan Russia – the sacred ‘Blue Stone’. This is a giant boulder (estimates say it weighs around 12 tons) that changes its color to blue after rain. The locals worshiped the stone in pre-Christian times, but even after accepting Christianity, the stone was attributed mystical properties (it was supposed that the stone possessed dark powers).

This Blue Stone was considered sacred

Pleshcheyevo is a paradise for eco-tourists; there are a lot of rare birds and animals that livee there, surrounded by a forest and picturesque places. You can stop at one of the recreation bases or pitch a tent and enjoy the view, ride a boat or SUP-boards. There’s also a kiteboarding school; also, during summer, hot air balloon festivals are often held.

4. The Rostov Kremlin

The Rostov Kremlin

The next city along the way is Rostov Veliky (don’t mistake it for the southern Rostov-on-Don). Its main attraction is its unbelievably beautiful white-stone kremlin of. It was also captured in popular culture: many scenes of the iconic comedy movie ‘Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future’ were shot there.

A still from ‘Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future’

The kremlin is not a defensive fortification like in other cities. It was built as the residence of Rostov metropolitan Jonas III in 1650-1680. The high walls with embrasures and lookout towers are more of a stylization and a tribute to architectural trends.

Inside, you should definitely enter the ancient Dormition Cathedral, admire the iconostasis and frescoes and take a stroll in its picturesque garden. Try pastries with kvass, medovukha or sbiten in the local refectory.

As a souvenir, you can get a decoration item with Rostov ‘finift’, an old local handicraft that originated in Byzantium, involves a technique known as ‘fire writing’.

You can read our Rostov guide here .

5. Uglich – the city where history was made

Uglich, the red church is the Church of Dmitry on Spilled Blood

This small town on a picturesque shore of the Volga River is famous across Russia. Not for its ancient churches or its nature, but as the place where Tsarevich Dmitry was killed, which ended the Rurikid dynasty and paved the way for the ‘Time of Troubles’.

The main attractions are concentrated in the kremlin, with a bunch of souvenir stores and a new embankment with trendy cafes.

Visit the chambers of Uglich princes of the 15th century, as well as the Church of Dmitry on Spilled Blood, built on the place where the tsarevich was killed – it has fantastic paintings inside.

And you can read our detailed Uglich guide here .

6. The city of mice

Cruise ships cruising along the Volga River always stop in the city called Myshkin. It is, probably, the most lovely (and cutest) town in the entire region, a small center which has preserved the spirit of Russian antiquity.

‘Mysh’ is Russian for ‘Mouse’, so Myshkin literally means the ‘Mouse City’. Thanks to its name, the city made the mouse its mascot. And now mice (no, not the real ones!) are all over the place – there’s a special museum dedicated to mice, while there are souvenirs wherever you go: mice of the most diverse varieties!

Mice of Myshkin

It’s considered a blessing to buy a small clay mouse and put it in your wallet – the locals believe it will attract money. The square, where the Volga River liners dock, offers a dozen types of smoked fish. A marvelous view of the Volga River, meanwhile, opens from the bell tower of St. Nicholas’ Cathedral.

7. Rybinsk – a retro-style city

Retro street signs on the local Red Square

Rybinsk is yet another city on the shore of the Volga River. There, you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of rich merchant life – the city was once a true trade center, which also dealt in fish. The Nobel Brothers Museum, who developed the oil industry in the city and on the Volga River, can also be found there.

It’s pure joy to have a stroll in Rybinsk, for, today, the main aspect of the city is that all the signs in the center are made in the retro merchant style. Even modern banks and stores attract visitors with their seemingly pre-revolution signs. Also, Rybinsk has a beautiful and very long embankment and even its own Red Square, which, despite the Lenin monument, is very reminiscent of a typical square somewhere in Europe.

8. The most beautiful village in Russia

The village of Vyatskoye

The village of Vyatskoye 40 kilometers from Yaroslavl is considered one of the most beautiful in Russia (at least, according to the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of Russia’ Association). In recent years, it has become a true Mecca for tourists. Its center was restored in the Art Nouveau style of the beginning of the 20th century, right down to stone pavements and vintage buildings.

There are museums to satisfy every taste (including the Museum of Russian Entrepreneurial Spirit), stores with souvenirs and local delicacies, sweets, and liqueurs, as well as a multitude of cafes.

9. Borisoglebsky Monastery

Borisoglebsky Monastery

There’s an old and very important monastery between Rostov and Uglich. It was founded in 1363 by monks Fyodor and Pavel with the blessing of Sergius of Radonezh himself – who, according to legend, picked this place (he was born not far). The monastery had always been a district center; it was visited by tsars and a village gradually formed around it, after which fairs and trade markets began to be held. 

In Soviet times, religious services here stopped and a museum opened instead; but, today, the monastery is operational again. The impressive monastery walls and an imposing gate church speak of its former glory.

Resurrection Cathedral in Tutaev

This city received its name after the revolution; before, it was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk. It was known for its mineral oil factory, as well as for its linen and fur manufactures (in the 18th century, the breed of Romanov sheep was bred there).

To this day, you can only reach one part of the city from the other only by a ferry, so get ready to sail or pick only one side of the city for your visit. For example, the Borisoglebsk side, with the unbelievably magnificent 17th-century Resurrection Cathedral. Be sure to study the tiled belt and paintings on its facade; inside, you should definitely approach the cathedral’s relic – the unique three-meter-tall Borisoglebsky Savior icon, which is considered miraculous.
