The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore comprises 80 check-in counters and up to 40 immigration counters, as well as a large groun transportation area, which allow the handling of up to 6,800 passengers at any one time.
The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore will be welcoming it's first cruise ship, Voyager of the Seas, this Saturday, 26 May 2012. Voyager of the Seas is Royal Caribbean International's 138,000-tonne cruise ship with a capacity of 3,840 passengers and 1,176 crew, is the largest ever cruise ship ever to homeport in Singapore. The purpose built 28,000-square meter terminal, which is operated by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services, has effectively doubled Singapore's berth capacity. With deep water, a large turning basin and no height restrictions, the terminal has the capability to dock ships of up to 220,000 gross register tonnage and measuring up to 360m in length with a hull draft of up to 11.5m.
"Cruise terminals are built to cater to large numbers of passengers in a short period of time. As such, our mission is to have passengers disembark from their ships and leave the terminal swiftly to continue on with their holiday itinerary. We plan to do so by leveraging both SATS and Creuers' respective strengths and competencies in gateway services and cruise terminal operations. The opening of the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore marks a momentous development for the cruise industry in Singapore and we look forward to receiving guests from all over the world. Singapore's strategic location coupled with the terminal's state-of-the-art facilities and proximity to the city and Singapore Changi Airport will anchor the country's position as Asia's leading cruise hub and further enhance its reputation as a global leader in travel services." said Mr Melvin Vu, Chief Executive Officer of SCCS.
