Singapore Cruise Centre’s new terminal at HarbourFront

Anyone who’s taken the ferry to Batam knows the drill. Arrive early, join the queues, clear immigration, then wait for boarding with kopi in hand. From 7th July 2026, that familiar routine will happen in a brand-new building instead.

You’ve already heard the HarbourFront Centre is closing down. And so, Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) is relocating its ferry and cruise operations to a new HarbourFront terminal just beside the current one. In addition to a larger waiting area, travellers can expect self-service check-in kiosks, just like those at Changi Airport, passport-less immigration clearance, and more amenities to make the journey a little smoother.

Here’s a first look at the new terminal, plus everything you need to know before your next island escape.

When does the new HarbourFront ferry terminal open?

SCC’s new HarbourFront ferry terminal opens in 2 phases this July. The first phase begins on 7th July 2026 with Batam Fast Ferry. All other ferry operators and cruise services will relocate from 15th July 2026.
