Singapore Odyssey

Celebrate Singapore’s Cultural Diversity Discover Singapore’s contrasting cultures and fascinating history on a tour of its eclectic neighborhoods. You will begin with a visit to the Chinatown Heritage Center. Housed within three traditional shop houses, each level of the center takes you to a different period in Chinatown’s history. Prepare for some sensory overload in Little India, where the scent of spices and jasmine garlands is as intense as the eye-popping displays of silver, brassware, rattan, wood carvings and silken saris. Continue to Arab Street, the old center of the Malay community that is now the place for opulent notions and textiles: lace, semiprecious stones, ostrich feathers, gold thread and wholesales bales of silk and organza. After a photo stop at the Raffles Hotel, enjoy a six-course lunch at a seafood restaurant and sample a taste of Singapore’s world-famous chili crab before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
