Singapore has two main cruise terminals. Small and medium cruise ships generally dock at the Harbourfront Center on the western end of the city across from Sentosa Island. This terminal is in one big mall, and sits beside an even bigger mall, Vivocity. There is a MRT stop conveniently located here.

A new cruise terminal, Marina Bay Cruise Centre opened May 2012 accommodating bigger cruise ships. Marina South Pier MRT station provides convenient access to the city. The station is 600m away from the cruise terminal along a sheltered walkway.

The onboard lifestyle with Regent Seven Seas Cruises® is centered in our continuous desire and effort to ensure each guest finds exactly what they’re searching for, from the serene comforts of your suite to a themed and lively dance party in one of our luxurious lounges.

Stroll about your vessel, where beautiful, curated works of art accentuate the understated elegance and superior craftsmanship of your new home away from home. Get to know like-minded travelers when you team up for a game of trivia at tea time. Curl up with a soft, warm blanket and a good book on your private balcony. Feel revitalized through an invigorating class in the state-of-the-art Fitness Center or relax and refresh yourself with a luxurious spa treatment.
