Singapore is a spotless, efficient city-state where futuristic gardens meet colonial architecture and some of the world's best street food. It's a major Asian cruise homeport with excellent public transport.
Singapore has two cruise terminals: Marina Bay Cruise Centre (near Gardens by the Bay) and Singapore Cruise Centre at HarbourFront (next to VivoCity mall).
Marina Bay is newer and farther from the MRT; HarbourFront is next to the MRT and Sentosa cable car.
Use the MRT — tap in with a contactless card.

Gardens by the Bay, hawker food and the Marina Bay skyline.
Gardens by the Bay publishes a significant restriction: its shuttle does not accept every powered wheelchair even though wheelchair services are offered on site.
Published sources reviewed October 17, 2026. This is desk research, not an on-site access audit. Access can change with the ship, berth, equipment and operating conditions.
Only selected folding wheelchairs accepted
The operator permits folding manual and lightweight folding electric chairs but excludes bulky, heavy or nonfolding devices. Published limits include 1.2 m length, 0.7 m width and 200 kg laden weight; staff assist boarding.
Wheelchair hire and route planning
Wheelchairs are offered at Arrival Gift Shop, The Canopy and Floral Fantasy. Their availability does not solve the movement of your own powered device; agree an accessible route from the booked vehicle drop-off to the chosen attractions.
Planning suggestion: For a nonfolding powerchair, plan a direct accessible transfer and a mapped garden route that does not depend on the shuttle.
