Departing your ship, you'll board your motorcoach for a scenic ride through the streets of Singapore on your way to one of the highest points in town, Mt. Faber. Here, you'll be able to capture the magnificent panoramic views of the harbor, Sentosa Island and the downtown district.
Once you arrive, follow your guide to your first stop, the Sri Mariamman Temple. This stunning Hindu temple is the oldest, and perhaps the most active, in the city. Originally built in 1827, it's dedicated to the goddess Sri Mariamman, known to help heal people from ill-health.

Next, you'll get to explore some of the country's more natural wonders at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The Gardens epitomize the tropical island's luxuriant parks. Spread over 30 acres, it offers a combination of untouched primary forest and specialty gardens, including the National Orchid Garden, the world's largest collection of orchids displayed in their full splendour. It houses over 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids of orchids. See the "dignitaries" such as Margaret Thatcher, Nelson Mandela, Laura Bush and Princess Diana in the VIP (Very Important Plants) Garden.

Board your air-conditioned motorcoach and travel along Orchard Road through the heart of Singapore's shopping and hotel district. Your route passes the Istana (President's and Prime Minister's office), the world-famous Raffles Hotel, Parliament House and Shenton Way - the "Wall Street of Southeast Asia" and into Chinatown. Here you'll find the old streets filled the with shops and temples surrounded by towering modern skyscrapers.

You'll get to spend some time exploring the maze of awning-draped shops and market stalls before re-boarding your motorcoach.

Your adventure comes to an end, as you return to your motorcoach for the scenic ride back to town, where you have free to stay and explore, or simply return to your ship.
