Fly-cruise market taking off in Singapore

ROYAL Caribbean International, the Singapore Tourism Board and Changi Airport Group have entered into a second multi-million dollar marketing partnership to promote cruising out of Singapore to passengers on Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas.

According to the Singapore Tourism Board, this partnership could generate over S$26 million in tourism dollars. It is also expected to bring in around 45,000 overseas fly-cruise guests to Singapore to sail on Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas from March to June this year. This is on top of the 65,000 overseas guests projected to sail on Mariner of the Seas from October 2016 to March 2017.

The partnership may be extended into subsequent years.
