Ship Ahoy: Singapore targets 1.5m cruise passengers by 2015

Plans to be Asia's cruise hub.

According to DBS, with the infrastructure in place, the Singapore Tourism Board targets to attract 1.5m cruise passengers by 2015, up from c.0.9m that sailed into Singapore in 2012.

The STB also believes that Singapore has the ability to be one of the key hubs in the region.

Here's more from DBS:

Leveraging on its strategic location between major international maritime routes, Singapore is already home to several of the world’s top cruise lines such as Star Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, Silversea Cruises and P&O Princess.

With the opening of the new Marina Bay Cruise Terminal, Singapore has the capacity and infrastructure to accommodate large cruise ships and have seen large players like cruise groups Carnival and Celebrity Cruises to set up shop over the past year.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
