Where Can I Park My Car at the Port of Singapore on Holland America
Be prepared to pay $25 a day to park at Harbour Front Center Multi-Storey Car Parking, which is next to the cruise ship terminal. You will pay up front (cash, major credit card or US traveler's check only) – not when you leave. (verified August 2010)
There are several offsite parking lots with shuttles to the Singapore port, and the savings can be significant. If you are arriving by car the night before your cruise, several of the hotels in the area may let you leave your car in their lot while you cruise. However, you will need to stay at least one night before your cruise – look for "Park 'n Stay" rates advertised by the hotel. These hotels usually have a shuttle to take you to and from the cruise port. (verified April 2010)
