History of Sunset Dinner Cruise
Singapore’s harbour has been one of the world’s busiest ports for two centuries, and cruising its southern waters has long been a popular evening out. Today the Royal Albatross, a modern luxury tall ship berthed at Resorts World Sentosa, is the flagship sunset dinner cruise, alongside private yacht charters and river cruises in the city centre.
