TEMPLE
Singapore's skyline is dotted with modern marvels, but hidden within its bustling neighborhoods are sacred spaces that whisper tales of devotion, artistry, and cultural continuity....
The Genting Dream generally gives guests around 5–7 hours ashore in Melaka, depending on sailing schedule and port tender operations.
Most sailings involve tendering — passengers are transferred to shore via tender boat from the cruise ship.
Top spots include: Jonker Street night market & old town, historic Stadthuys and Christ Church, Melaka, the ruins of A Famosa fortress and St. Paul’s Hill, charming heritage streets, and a scenic ride along the Melaka River.
You can book excursions onboard the ship, but popular tours (heritage walk, river cruise, night market visits) tend to fill up quickly — booking early is recommended.
Some tours include meals — especially those featuring local cuisine or Nyonya-style lunch/dinner — while others focus only on sightseeing and may require you to buy food separately.
Melaka uses Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). It’s best to carry some cash for street food, local shops, and small purchases; larger stores usually accept cards.
Light, breathable clothing and comfortable footwear are ideal. If visiting religious or heritage sites, modest attire is recommended.
