Guide to your first cruise
New to cruising? Here’s your all-in-one survival guide to making your maiden voyage smooth sailing from the start.
- Start strong by booking early—securing your spot months, or even one year, in advance can land you early bird deals, complimentary perks, or even free cabin upgrades, depending on the cruise line. In addition, some routes only do limited sailings in a year.
- Cruise lines often roll out flexible cancellation policies, giving you room to make changes if your plans shift unexpectedly.
- Most cruises departing from Singapore set sail from Marina Bay Cruise Centre, a terminal that’s easy to access by car or MRT.
- If you do not reside in Singapore, to avoid last-minute panic, arrive at least a day before departure—you’ll sidestep potential flight delays and kick off your cruise well-rested.
- Pack with purpose. Bring casual wear for days by the pool, smart outfits for formal dinners, and a fun costume if your ship hosts a theme night.
- Check your cruise line’s dress codes to make sure you don’t miss out on any swanky evening events or specialty dining experiences.
- Once on board, take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the ship layout. Cruise ships are massive—knowing how to get from the buffet to the theatre to your cabin will save time and steps. Most ships offer interactive maps or mobile apps with daily activity schedules, restaurant hours, and deck plans. Download them early and keep notifications on.
- The more you explore early on, the better—scope out where to catch the sunset, where the quiet corners are, and which lounges serve the best coffee.
- Always check what’s included and what’s not. Some packages cover all meals, activities, and gratuities, while others don’t—knowing this helps you avoid surprise costs later.
- Wi-Fi? It’s not always great. You’ll likely need to purchase a package from the ship, and even then, expect patchy signals. Or just go full unplugged—many cruisers use the time for a digital detox, swapping screen time for sea views. Sounds like a win either way.
From Disney Adventures to luxurious getaways with butler service, there’s a cruise package to match every kind of traveller. These holidays at sea deliver epic entertainment, next-level dining, and stress-free island-hopping with everything taken care of (yes, even your karaoke nights and silent discos).
So whether you’re sailing with kids, craving a spa day at sea, or chasing sunsets in Tokyo, it’s time to sail away in style.
