'It's worth going the distance': Singaporean man flies over 20 hours to Miami just for a cruise – here's why



One hour is probably all you need to get to a cruise centre in Singapore. Maybe two hours, max.

One Singaporean, however, flew over 20 hours from Singapore to Miami just for one cruise trip – a seven-night Eastern Caribbean sail on the Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbean’s largest cruise ship in the world.

And it’s “worth going the distance”.

“It was the ultimate getaway – part theme park, part beach resort and home to show-stopping entertainment that can easily rival that of Broadway and West End entertainment,” Ben Goh, a seasoned cruiser, tells us.

The 42-year-old traveller, who has set sail on over 60 cruises and counting, went on the maiden voyage of the 365m-long cruise ship in January. 

“I was blown away as soon as I stepped onboard,” he adds.

‘Like vacationing at a floating resort’

“Being on the biggest cruise ship in the world was like vacationing at a floating resort,” Ben prefaces. “There were many restaurants and bars, yet they were all easy to find.”
