Singapore is the home port for Disney Adventure, Disney's newest ship dedicated to Southeast Asian sailings. The Marina Bay Cruise Centre is in the city's entertainment district — steps from Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands hotel complex.
Singapore is one of the world's easiest cities to navigate — English is universal, the MRT subway is world-class, and the city is famously safe and clean. Pre- or post-cruise activities include Gardens by the Bay's SuperTrees, the Singapore Zoo (one of the best in Asia), Sentosa Island, and the hawker centers for street food.
The activities Disney cruise families consistently rate highest, ranked by popularity and quality, not by what an excursion desk wants to sell.
