Singapore - Gallery 1 of 2 - Jan. 2024

We flew to Singapore on Qatar Airways and arrived after 24 hours of flying and connecting. We spent the night at Hotel 1900 in Chinatown. The next afternoon we checked into the Fullerton Hotel for a free cruise pre-extension package that Oceania had given us. We spent 3 nights there, with tours during the day and some free time. Then we began our cruise through SE Asia, finishing 15 days later.

This is Gallery 1 for Singapore. Gallery 2 follows. Then there are separate galleries for the other 6 countries we visited on Oceania, with stops in Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
