 More than 66 years ago, the renowned Chinese Admiral Cheng Ho (Zheng He) embarked on his brave mission to discover new lands and people. Between the period 1405 and 1433, as commander of the Chinese Imperial fleet numbering more than 300 ships and 27,000 men, he sailed across the oceans and seas, spreading China's influence to Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East and Africa. Now you can experience the fun of sailing in a modern Chinese Junk, designed and built to replicate the imperial splendor of centuries ago. The vessel is modeled after the famous ship Da Fu (number four) of Ming Dynasty, when Chinese naval power was supreme. Enjoy a High Tea buffet whilst cruising to the southern islands. As you savour puffs, sandwiches and cakes, view the new lifestyle marina, oceanfront living and hotel development projects taking place in Sentosa Island. A stopover at Kusu island is included to visit the quaint Chinese Temple.
