SINGAPORE Airport Terminal Services (SATS) and Royal Caribbean Cruises last week launched the region’s first cruise-fly service, offering cruise passengers a seamless and convenient transit process from the pier to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) for flight check-in and luggage deposit.
The cruise-fly service debuted on April 30 during Royal Caribbean’s inaugural summer season on Legend of the Seas in Singapore. Legend of the Seas guests who booked the service were personally met by SATS customer service agents at the cruise terminal upon disembarkation from the ship and ferried directly to MBS.
SATS senior vice president, Yacoob Piperdi, said: “Our cruise-fly service provides a seamless experience for Royal Caribbean’s cruise guests who arrive in Singapore in the day and plan to catch a flight later in the evening.”
“These guests can check-in for their flights at their convenience, deposit their bags and have the rest of the day to explore the island hassle-free, without having to worry about airport check-in times or what to do with their bags.”
SATS plans to continue offering this service for Legend of the Seas when it returns this November, as well as for Azamara Quest, also of the Royal Caribbean fleet, and slated to call again at Singapore from this December.
The service is available for guests travelling on Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, Qantas Airways, Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and EVA Airways flights.
