Cruising into the Sunset

 


I have been on boats, ferries and rubber dinghies. However, this was my first time cruising on a Tall Ship. Apparently, there are only 100 in the world left, typically cargo ships, and most are owned by governments. However, https://www.tallship.com.sg/ is a privately owned Tall Ship that has been converted into an amazing venue for dinner cruises or themed parties, corporate events. It is also unique venue for a marriage proposal. 

We opted for the City Lights cruise, which took us out of Sentosa and around the southern part of Singapore. As the name suggests, the view of Singapore's skyline is the highlight! 

As the Royal Albatross is a fairly large boat, roaming around is a lot of fun, offering many different angles to snap photos. A buffet spread prepared below decks, complimented with chilled beverages! The waters around Singapore are usually very calm, except for when a ferry speeds by, thus it is not too much work keeping your food and drinks in place on your table. One might be afraid of getting seasick, but since the vessel has a deep keel, it sits rather stable on the waters. 

Highly recommended for anyone that would want a romantic getaway or to see Singapore in a different light. Tune back in for our sequel "Pirates of the Johor Straits"!
