Designed by one of Protravel’s top luxury travel advisors and Singapore specialists, the customizable itinerary provides an extraordinary trip in the Lion City to vacation like a movie star.
“Singapore is a multi-faceted luxurious destination for cuisine, design, fashion, shopping, and culture,” said Protravel International President Becky Powell. “It has been growing in popularity and our advisors report it’s among the top five Asian destinations they are booking and on the bucket list of many. Our Protravel advisors are well-versed in providing personalized whiteglove service and having the local connections necessary to curate a once-in-a-lifetime vacation like our new ‘Crazy Rich Americans Love Singapore’ trip. This is not an experience you can easily create with anyone else or on your own,” said Powell.
The immersive six-day journey uncovers the best that Singapore has to offer with stays in the world’s finest hotels and a luxury-driven itinerary.Travelers arrive refreshed and pampered courtesy of Singapore Airlines’ first-class suite experience. A private chauffeured car takes them to their first hotel stay at the famous Marina Bay Sands where a refreshing dip in the iconic infinity-edge rooftop pool and awe-inspiring views await. Meanwhile, a white-gloved butler unpacks their bags in a spacious two-bedroom suite.
A private guide will provide special access to well-known and hidden sites and share the stories behind them to make this a memory of a lifetime. Tours of Chinatown, Little India, and Arab Street offering a colorful cultural immersion, along with the island-nation’s famous black and white colonial homes taking a step into history, and not-to-be-missed Singapore Botanic Gardens, Dempsey Hill, and Gardens by the Bay are all part of the journey.
A special fashion touch is included with a session with one of Singapore’s best-known dressmakers for a fitting of a silk gown or suit. A private visit to view the high-style of local designers like Kevin Seah, Lisa von Tang, and Choo Yilin, renowned for their bespoke handbags, stunning jade jewelry, and cutting-edge Asian-fusion fashion can also be arranged. A Mahjong master will teach tricks of this ancient game and pass time during a visit to Bukit Pasoh, home to Singapore’s brightly painted shop houses. The journey is not complete without an in-depth exploration of this melting pot of cuisines with influences from around the world at classic Michelin-starred restaurants like Odette, Forest and Candlenut for lunch and dinner. A tour and samplings at famous street stalls like Chef Chen Hong Meng will exemplify the diversity of culinary offerings. Nightcaps at the uber plush Manhattan, which was rated #3 on the World’s 50 Best Bars list and #1 in Asia, offers handcrafted cocktails and is home to the first in-hotel whiskey aging rickhouse.
