Take your other half for a scenic dinner cruise along Singapore’s calm port waters and enjoy 360° sea and sunset views onboard the Royal Albatross — the region’s only luxury tall ship stationed at Resorts World Sentosa.

As you disembark just before sunset, the crew busy themselves rigging the masts to set sail using the same methods and techniques from a bygone era. Once all 22 sails are up in full glory, the ship reminds us of Pirates of the Caribbean, only that Jack Sparrow is a middle-aged Caucasian man in a sailor’s uniform.

At $195 per person, you get a 2.5 hour leisurely trip complete with a welcome mocktail, three-course European dinner at your own private table on the upper deck (add $100 for a six-course dinner with wine pairing) and free flow soft drinks.

EXHIBITION
The life and art of Leonardo Da Vinci
Da Vinci, The Exhibition

Get to know the Renaissance Man himself through the largest collection of Leonardo da Vinci’s discoveries in Southeast Asia. This fully interactive, hands-on exhibition at Science Centre Singapore invites you to closely examine the life, art and research of this genius Italian polymath who was a world-famous painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor and architect.

The showcase will send visitors of all ages on a truly exciting and inspiring journey of art, science and nature across 10 zones featuring more than 50 fully built, life-size inventions and over 15 fine art studies and dozens of stunning displays. They include iconic paintings such as Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, plus Da Vinci’s famous studies on the Golden Ratio and Vitruvian Man.

The exhibits were put up by trained artisans who used Da Vinci’s blueprints to design and construct his inventions, bringing to life many machines and devices — such as the parachute and scuba suit — that were designed but never created due to the lack of modern technologies in the 15th Century.

Now on till Jan 2, 2022. Tickets are priced at $18 per adult from www.science.edu.sg/whats-on/exhibitions/davinci
