Singapore’s New Floating Playground Sets Sail This December

Singapore’s cruise scene is levelling up this December as World Cruises unveils World Legacy, a first-of-its-kind lifestyle ship designed for all kinds of getaways: the spontaneous day trip, the cheeky overnight escape, or the full 3D2N staycation you book because adulting is exhausting. With multiple ferries departing daily from HarbourFront and Johor’s Puteri Harbour, hopping aboard is as fuss-free as catching the MRT (just with sea views and entertainment that doesn’t clock off).

By day, World Legacy is built for slow living. Think sea breeze mornings, wellness sessions that actually make you feel rested, and long, lazy meals where nobody’s rushing you to turn the table. As night falls, the whole ship shifts gears. Legacy Theatre brings in live performances from across Asia, Clubhouse 88 serves up sports-bar energy with themed nights, and Illusion Bar pours theatrical cocktails in a speakeasy setting. It’s basically a full night out (duty-free, too) without ever touching dry land.

Accommodation-wise, the ship hosts 300 refreshed cabins ranging from cosy two-pax rooms to family-friendly setups and luxe VIP suites with walk-in wardrobes. Preview voyages kick off 18 December 2025, with round-trip ferry tickets (meals included) from just $38 and cabin stays from $50 per night. Opening promos are even wilder: a 3D2N package from $89 per person including ferry transfers, breakfast and all-day dining on Deck 3. Yes, that’s less than your usual weekend spending damage.

Foodies, you’re sorted. Uncle Wu Café serves 24-hour Asian comfort food, Orchid Pavilion dials up refined Chinese dishes, and Legacy Buffet keeps things easy with international picks. Come 2026, the Sunset Deck will open with panoramic sea views, golden hour drinks and open-air programming that goes from chill to electric as the evening unfolds. It's basically the spot for sky-high vibes without the rooftop cover charge.

Whether you’re chasing a midday reset, a nightlife fix, or just a new way to escape the city without travelling far, World Legacy has created a sea-based playground that evolves with your mood.
