Ferries Singapore

Most ferry companies traveling to and from the ports of Singapore offer discounts for specific passenger categories, such as children and infants.

The best time to book your Singapore ferry tickets mainly depends on the season, demand, and how flexible your travel plans are.

Singapore’s peak travel season extends between July and October, when the temperatures are the most pleasant. If you plan to travel during these months, we suggest booking your Singapore ferry at least 1 month in advance so you can secure your prefered trip date and time.

As for trips during mid-season (February to June), you can normally book a few weeks or days in advance and still find good availability.

If you're planning to travel to or from Singapore on weekends or holidays, booking your ferry tickets early will help secure your preferred schedule.

Whether you’re craving culture, adventure, relaxation, or just a smooth city break, Singapore ticks all the boxes. This tiny island nation impresses visitors with its dazzling skyline, lush gardens, rich culture, and incredible food scene.

Wander around the neighborhoods of Chinatown, Kampong Glam, and Little India to soak up the city’s multicultural vibe, or head to Marina Bay to see the city at its most futuristic. Iconic spots, such as the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and the Merlion will steal your heart, especially at night when the city lights come alive.

For something slower-paced, take a walk through the Singapore Botanic Gardens or explore the city’s green trails and waterfront parks. And if you're after a bit of sun and sea, the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan are just a short ferry ride away.

Here are a few useful tips to keep in mind for your trip to/from Singapore:

• To travel by ferry from Singapore to destinations in Indonesia and Malaysia, make sure to carry along valid identification documents and any required visas.
• While cards are widely accepted in Singapore, having some Singapore Dollars (SGD) in cash is useful for terminal fees, taxis, and small purchases at local shops or food stalls.
• Don’t miss the chance to explore nearby islands starting from Singapoe. Popular island-hopping options include St. John’s Island, Lazarus Island, Kusu Island, and Pulau Ubin, all a short ferry ride away and perfect for a day trip.

Ferry routes to/from Singapore are normally served by fast boats, equipped with basic amenities to ensure a comfortable journey.

On board the vessels, there is usually indoor, air-conditioned seating, as well as outdoor deck areas. Some companies might also offer premium seating options.

Pets are normally not allowed on board ferries to/from Signapore.
