Have you ever wanted to go on a cruise without committing to an overnight stay? Next month, that option will become available. The new World Legacy cruise allows guests the flexibility to either spend a few hours on the ship or extend their stay to an overnight or a three-day two-night experience, according to World Cruises in a press release on November 18. Unlike most cruises that typically require a minimum one-night stay depending on the itinerary, this cruise offers more freedom for travelers.

Guests can board and disembark the ship via a ferry system, with departures from both the Singapore Cruise Centre and JB Puteri Harbour Cruise Centre at various times throughout the day. In addition to these daily ferry transfers, World Legacy will make weekly stops at Harbourfront Centre every Friday, allowing passengers to board directly from Singapore without needing a ferry. Preview voyages will begin on December 18, with embarkation via a dedicated ferry from the Singapore Cruise Centre at Harbourfront Centre.

According to Martin Blanar, vice president of the brand's hotel operations, World Legacy was designed for those seeking a quick getaway without the limitations of a traditional holiday. Guests can enjoy nightlife, dining, and entertainment at their own pace. Visitors can come aboard, relax, indulge, and even party through the night before disembarking whenever they choose. With the rising cost of a typical night out, this cruise offers a refreshing duty-free alternative where passengers can disconnect, recharge, and enjoy themselves.

During the day, the ship offers wellness activities such as spa services, while evenings are filled with entertainment, drinks, and live music. Clubhouse 88 serves as a sports bar featuring live screenings of international sporting events, themed nights, and a curated bar menu. Illusion Bar provides a theatrical speakeasy experience with immersive cocktails and entertainment, while Legacy Theatre hosts live performances by renowned singers from across Asia in an intimate livehouse setting. Other onboard activities include a kids arcade and private karaoke suites. By 2026, guests will also be able to enjoy panoramic views of the Straits from the Sunset Deck, which will host activities throughout the day including morning wellness sessions, golden hour music and drinks, and nightlong entertainment, while also serving as a space for private events.

Food lovers will find a variety of dining options onboard. The Legacy Buffet offers an international selection of cuisines, while Uncle Wu Cafe provides Asian-inspired casual meals around the clock. For a more refined experience, guests can dine at Orchid Pavilion, which serves traditional Chinese dishes.

The ship features approximately 300 cabins, ranging from small two-person rooms to larger family cabins that can accommodate three to four people, with VIP suites available for those seeking a luxurious stay. Cabin rates for a three-day two-night stay start at 128 USD for a Standard Two Single Interior room. Ferry tickets are priced at 58 USD online and 78 USD walk-in for adults, 38 USD online and 58 USD walk-in for senior citizens aged 60 and above, and 10 USD online and 20 USD walk-in for children aged 12 and below. Tickets include port and local taxes, non-halal meals on Deck 3, and a luggage allowance of one hand carry bag of seven kilograms and one check-in bag of 20 kilograms per guest. Ferry tickets also allow passengers to remain on board for up to 20 hours without a cabin, with extension fees applicable. To mark the launch, the cruise is offering a promotional package at 89 USD per person for a three-day two-night stay for two guests. This package includes ferry transfers, buffet breakfast, and full-day meals on Deck 3, giving passengers a chance to experience the cruise in style.
