1. Disney Cruise Line: Fireworks, Disney characters & more

The Disney Cruise Line has perhaps been the most highly-anticipated cruise in Singapore to date! We’d describe it as a Disney theme park on the seas, given that it’s a Disney fan’s wildest dream come true. We’re talking themed areas at nearly every corner of the ship, live productions and performances, fireworks, character experiences, movie screenings, theme park-worthy waterslides and rollercoasters and more, all aboard the Disney Adventure cruise ship! The cruise takes you out to sea and back to Singapore, so you can fully enjoy all the entertainment and facilities onboard for three or four nights.

Recommended for: Families with kids of all ages will definitely find something they love here, but we reckon kids older than the toddler stage will get to fully enjoy all the detailed offerings of the cruise. It’s also great for those looking for shorter voyages, and of course, Disney fans!

Royal Caribbean cruises are decked out to bring you so much fun onboard that you may not even want to step off at each port of call! In 2026 and 2027, there are two great cruise ships that depart from Singapore. The Navigator of the Seas boasts the longest waterslide at sea, as well as a thrilling head-first mat racer waterslide that curves off the side of the ship! It’s also one of the rare cruise ships with an ice skating rink (with ice skating shows!). Coming in with equally as much fun is the Ovation of the Seas, famous for its North Star capsule for amazing 360-degree views and skydiving simulator. Both ships also have surf simulators, original musical productions, and onboard activities such as dance classes, pickleball, laser tag, bumper cars and more.
