Big news for everyone planning their next quick getaway to Batam and Karimun! 🌴🚢
The countdown is on—in just 2 DAYS (7 July), the brand-new Singapore Cruise Centre terminal at HarbourFront is officially opening its doors! 🥳✨
Here is what you can look forward to at the new terminal:
➡️ Super Fast Check-in: No more waiting in long lines just to get your physical ticket. You can now use one of the 25 automated self-service kiosks and 6 baggage drop counters!
➡️Biometric Immigration Clearance: Singapore citizens and PRs can zip through border control using facial biometrics—no passport scanning required at the automated lanes.
➡️ Yummy Grab-and-Go Bites: Grab a quick snack before you board with plenty of options like Subway, Old Chang Kee, and 7-Eleven.
⚠️ Take note of the moving dates:
🗓️ From 7 July: Batam Fast Ferry moves into the new building first. 🗓️ From 15 July: All other ferry operators and cruise operations will move over.
📍 Where is it? It’s the new red building just 70m away from the existing terminal, easily accessible via sheltered walkways from HarbourFront MRT Exit B or VivoCity.
