Four cruise ships are undergoing drydocks in Singapore at the same time as part of different refurbishment projects.

After completing a final cruise for P&O Cruises Australia, the Pacific Explorer is one of the vessels presently in Singapore for a refit.

Set to debut for the new StarCruises brand later this month, the 1997-built ship is undergoing conversion work at the Tuas Shipyard before welcoming guests onboard.

In addition to technical updates and class work, the project includes updates to public areas and venues as part of a $50 million investment.

The Paul Gauguin is also at a shipyard in Singapore for a major upgrade project that includes the enhancement of public areas and cabins.

As part of a seven-week drydock in Sembawang, the luxury vessel is also getting sustainability enhancements that include advanced heat recovery systems, efficient chillers and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC).

When the Paul Gauguin resumes service in early April, guests can look forward to a refreshed pool deck, as well as updated bars, restaurants and staterooms.

Other ships in Singapore include Ponant’s Le Laperouse, which is undergoing routine maintenance at the Sembawang Shipyard.

The expedition ship is going through technical and class work as well as general upkeep of its public areas and staterooms.

A fourth ship, the Queen Elizabeth, also arrived in Singapore for a refurbishment project earlier this month.

Now in one of the drydocks at Sembawang shipyard, the Cunard vessel is scheduled to undergo several updates to its public areas.

According to the company, signature venues of the ship, such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club and the Garden Lounge, are being revitalized during the refit.

Following the work, the Queen Elizabeth is scheduled to welcome guests onboard in Singapore on March 14, 2025.
