How far is Singapore airport from the cruise terminal?

Choosing to see Singapore as part of a cruise has a number of advantages. It means you can feel confident and relaxed, knowing you always have stylish accommodation, superb dining opportunities, and world-class entertainment to return to at any time. While you may want to spend as much time as possible in port, exploring everything Singapore has to offer, take comfort from the fact that when you’ve had your fill, your Cunard Queen awaits.

Is a cruise a good way to see Singapore?

With influences from China, India, Malaysia, England, and more, Singapore offers a fascinating melting pot of cultures and traditions to explore.
Built in the late 1880s, Raffles Hotel is a lasting reminder of Singapore’s colonial past. Famous for the Singapore Sling cocktail, this classic building is a superb spot for taking time out from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. You’ll find more high-end bars and eateries all over Singapore or, for something a little more local, try some ‘hawker food’ (street food), some of which is even Michelin star rated.
Wander along tree-lined streets with some familiar names, from Park Lane to Oxford Street, and admire Singapore’s eye-catching architecture. You’ll see everything from traditional Malay-style houses to modern skyscrapers including the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Dominating the skyline, this unique building comprises three towers topped by a ship that boasts the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool.
The Gardens by the Bay are another highlight. Showcasing a wonderful blend of natural flora and manmade design, this is truly one of the most novel attractions in Asia. If your voyage includes an overnight stop in Singapore, perhaps explore the gardens after dark, when clever lighting only adds to an already bewitching experience.

Singapore's main cruise terminal, Marina Bay Cruise Centre, is situated east of Sentosa Island, on the city's southern edge, around 2 miles (3km) from the city centre. Here there is space for two larger ships to dock in parallel. There is a short covered walk of around 150m between the terminal and the gangway.
The Marina Bay terminal building serves both berths, spans two levels, and includes bathrooms, a currency kiosk and ATMs, a left luggage service, a few small shops and a café. There is also free WiFi and a deck offering airport transfers. Visit the <a title="Marina Bay Cruise Centre website" href="https://mbccs.com.sg/">terminal website</a> for more information.
Smaller ships may also dock at the International Cruise Centre, found just north of Sentosa Island at the Harbourfront.

Marina Bay Cruise Centre has a taxi rank with affordable local transport, and an airport transfer service. Uber also operates in Singapore.
The local bus network is dependable and very affordable; one route stops right outside the terminal building and will take you into the city centre in 20 minutes for a couple of Singapore dollars - just make sure you have the right change.
Singapore is also home to the MRT (Mass Rail Transit), an underground railway. The terminal has a station very close by, around a 600m walk: turn right out of the terminal exit, and use the system to head into town.

Singapore's main airport is Changi Airport, situated further east along the coast from Marina Bay Cruise Centre. It is around 25 minutes by car; buses are also available, but may take up to 90 minutes depending on timings. The MRT (Singapore's underground system) also travels between the cruise and airport terminals.
If you disembark in Singapore, the Marina Bay Cruise Centre terminal has a desk that can arrange affordable airport transfers for you; simply enquire when you arrive.
Changi airport offers direct flights to many major cities including Sydney, Perth, London, Paris, Zurich, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Flying to Singapore and Singapore airports

The first places most people think of are Rome and Athens, due to their unique historical and cultural sights. Cunard also visits Spain - Barcelona features amazing Gaudi architecture that's well worth a look - Southern France - famous for its vineyards - and Croatia, where lesser-known but just as impressive historic sites await.

What are the best places to visit in the Mediterranean?

The best weather in this region is from April until November, and Cunard visits the Mediterranean within this window. If you're looking for a tan and don't mind the heat, travel in June or July, but if you prefer milder temperatures book your cruise in the autumn months.

What is the best time of year to cruise the Mediterranean?

Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Malta, Croatia, and Greece all use the Euro. Gibraltar uses the Gibraltar Pound, (although Pound Sterling and Euros are unofficially accepted in parts).

What is the currency in the Mediterranean?

The Mediterranean has a changeable climate, depending on the season, but dry, hot and sunny days are to be expected in the peak summer months and often during spring and into autumn. It's not out of the question for temperatures to exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in July or August while even September and October can herald warm and pleasant weather. If you're hoping to spend time relaxing on some of the Mediterranean's sandy beaches, it's best to avoid travel during November to March when temperatures are cooler and days can be fresh and rainy.

What is the weather like in the Mediterranean?

A variety of languages are spoken in the Mediterranean. In Spain, where Spanish is the official language, you'll also find regional languages including Catalan, Galician, Basque and Occitan. Spanish is also spoken in Gibraltar, even though the official language of Gibraltar is English. Similarly, in Malta both Maltese and English are spoken.
In France the native language is French, in Italy it's Italian, in Greece it's Greek and in Croatia it's Croatian. French is also the official language of Monaco but you'll encounter Italian spoken by much of the population here too.

What languages are spoken in the Mediterranean?

Depending on the time of year, you'll need cool clothes and comfortable shoes for exploring the exciting ports along your journey. A sunhat and sunscreen are a must in the summer months, and would be wise in the autumn too, as the sun can still be strong in September and October. For evenings on deck bring light jackets for when the temperatures cool.
