Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. has recently launched the CruiseFly facility, offered by Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, on its cruises disembarking at Singapore. CruiseFly is the region’s first sea-to-air baggage transfer service that allows guests an early check-in for flights departing within the same day of the ship’s arrival into Singapore.
Commenting on the CruiseFly service, Ratna Chadha, Chief Executive-TIRUN Travel Marketing, India Representative of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. said, “This is an exemplary service designed to provide an effortless travel experience to our guests. The early flight check-in not only eliminates baggage related stress but also provides for a couple of extra hours to explore more activities and attractions in Singapore.” She further added, “This is an exciting year for Indian travellers and cruise enthusiasts as Royal Caribbean International has deployed Mariner of the Seas, the largest and most innovative cruise ship to homeport in Asia. This ship will deliver an exciting range of cruises from Singapore later this year.”
Guests can book online or register onboard at Guest Services prior to the ship’s arrival into Singapore. Once they disembark the ship at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre itself, with this service guests can check-in, deposit their bags and collect their boarding passes without having to queue at the airport.
