Housed in the former Supreme Court, the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery presents the history of Southeast Asian art through artistic impulses shared across the region. The UOB Southeast Asia Gallery shares a compelling story of human culture, as seen through a region that has been the meeting point of major civilisations, religions, colonial powers, and the focus of struggles towards national independence and modernisation. The Gallery explores four main themes critical to the art of this region: Authority and Anxiety, Imagining Country and Self, Manifesting the Nation and Redefining Art.

Raffles Landing Site

A brief stop is then made at the site where Thomas Stamford Raffles is believed to have first landed in Singapore in 1819. An imposing statue commemorates the site.

Riverboat Ride

A ride along the Singapore River in one of the colourful riverboats makes for a fun-filled experience. In Raffles' days, these vessels were used to transport goods. Today, they are a popular way to experience a kaleidoscope of historic river images, including the 'godown' warehouses and the gracious buildings of the old waterfront set against the skyline of the new business district.

After disembarking your riverboat at picturesque Clarke Quay, your outing concludes with a transfer to the airport.

Please note: This tour is offered to guests who have flights departing after 4:30 pm. It requires a moderate amount of walking with some steps to climb and guests must be able to manoeuvre in and out of the riverboats. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. We suggest you wear lightweight clothing and rubber-soled shoes. The order of sites seen or visited may vary.

One of the greatest fun outings is the ride in a group of trishaws, heading down the streets bustling with evening activities.

Depart from the ship's terminal and transfer by coach to Bugis Street. Here, board a three-wheeled trishaw, operating on human power. Before automobiles and scooters, this was the common means of transportation around town. Settle into your vehicle and let the fun begin as your ride takes you through the Little India district. Enjoy the ambiance of this exotic section of Singapore, with aromas of spices, incense and frying foods filling the air. Your vehicle squeezes through the cluttered streets past shops and ornate temples.

This fun-filled trip concludes the legendry Singapore Sling at the rooftop Lantern Bar of the Fullerton Bay Hotel

Afterwards, a short transfer returns you to the cruise terminal and the ship in time for a late supper.
