I tried to get a ticket in advance for the afternoon slot, but when they said no, they immediately became upset. When I told them I would come back in the afternoon, they threw the paper I had printed out... It looks like they didn't eat 4 kinds of rice.

Opens at 1 PM on Monday and Thursday.
Opens at 10 PM on Friday.
I went today, Monday, thinking it opened at 10 AM, but I was disappointed and had to go back again.
Please note.

It's worth a ride to experience it once. However, when waiting in anticipation of the laser show, the wait feels very long due to crowds of group tourists, who are instructed to gather only within the red line. The owner is not very good. He is very nasty!!!!!! (He cursed at a foreigner who complained in another language! I saw this!!!!!)

The night view from the river cruise was truly amazing. I think it would be wonderful to take the cruise while watching the sunset.
Kim Yong Mei
It was nice to see the Spectra show on a boat. I took off one star because I thought it was overly expensive.
Serene Lee
I love the view here!
Whimsical Wander
It's worth a try. It takes good pictures of buildings, but it's hard to get good shots of people. Don't expect to get the best shots of your life.

At first I thought it was a little expensive, but it was worth it. I hope you take lots of pictures with your companions and with the night view in the background.

The view from the ship gives a different feeling. I remember riding it 10 years ago. This is a return visit with my wife.

Enjoy Singapore's beautiful nightscape on a 40-minute boat ride. If you arrive around 7 p.m., you can enjoy both the sunset and the nightscape.

This is the real deal! This is where you can take the river cruise.
I came here because I was told to take the 7:45 cruise to see the Marina Bay night view, but it seemed difficult to board at that time, and I felt a bit misled.
The cruise I initially planned to take was S$28 for 40 minutes, but they recommended a ship that would allow me to see the Marina Bay laser show for S$42 for an hour, so I took it. In conclusion, I was very satisfied. I bought the ticket, stood in a separate line, and then boarded the ship.
You must take the river cruise at night. There is so much more to see. In addition to Marina Bay, the illuminated scenery that can only be seen at night was gorgeous. It was even better because I could stay in front of Marina Bay and watch the laser show the entire time!
The structure does not allow wheelchairs or strollers.
