From the curators of the world’s only Dog Cruise (which has taken over 2,200 dogs for a sail so far since its launch in April 2021); it is time to get ready for the world’s fur-st Cat Cruise aboard the stunning Royal Albatross – a 47m luxury tall ship based in Singapore and winner of Singapore’s Most Outstanding Attraction Experience (Singapore Tourism Awards, 2022). The Royal Albatross’s owner-operator, CEO, dog paw-rent and cat lover, Mr. Peter Pela explains; “We have seen a strong demand from owners wanting to bring their cats on our Dog Cruise, so we extensively researched if and how to permit cats onboard safely. After conducting trials and consulting with numerous experts and authorities including vets, The Cat People, SPCA, Cat Welfare Society and NParks, we are very excited to announce that we have designed the purr-fect Sunset Dinner Cruise especially for our feline friends and their paw-rents, to share precious, family moments of togetherness at their dining table that will be remembered forever.” Pela continues; “We are well aware that some cats are kept exclusively indoors and may be nervous or even scared to venture outside, so we want to be clear that Cat Cruise is not for all. However, with the right education, precautions and responsible pet ownership, cats and their owners can share an outing that is an extremely enjoyable bonding experience safely. For our own self-education, we have teamed up with SPCA to train our entire crew on cat safety and welfare so we can be proactive during the cruise and help prevent accidents onboard. There shall also be a special cat safety briefing by the Captain to ensure everyone onboard is aware of necessary paw-cautions.” The Cat Cruise is a unique experience that celebrates Singapore’s love for cats, and it’s the goal for the Royal Albatross to build a greater bond for families and their pets. The company believes that there is more that can be done to integrate cats and dogs in the daily lifestyle. Giving owners a venue to experience and and opportunity to build a bond by creating a closer and more rewarding relationship with their “fur babies”. To ensure the best experience for all, the focus on the cat cruise will be on keeping the kitties safe, relaxed, comfortable, and stimulated with amazing sea views. Unlike the 3-course gourmet food that is served to the doggies on Dog Cruise, the cats shall not be fed onboard as cats are less food motivated than dogs. Instead, Royal Albatross has partnered with PetCubes to provide a furry goody bag containing a gourmet cat dinner which the cats can enjoy in the comforts of their home, in accordance with their usual feeding routine. To ensure a purr-fect Sunset Dinner Cruise, feline companions shall have access to a personal cabin or “Catacomb” with guaranteed sea views right next to their “paw-rents” table. Other unique cat-centric experiences onboard include the “Pussy Cat Lounge” in the air-conditioned Grand Salon with playtime activities and cat themed entertainment for all. Additionally, to enhance the experience for our cat loving guests, the Royal Albatross will invite speakers from expert cat welfare organisations to help educate and encourage responsible cat ownership. Donation boxes will be made available onboard for Singapore’s leading cat charities. Ms. Ashlynn Loo, Director, Attractions, Entertainment and Tourism Concept Development, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said, “We are excited to welcome the world’s first Cat Cruise onboard Royal Albatross. It is heartening to see how local tourism businesses are reinventing themselves with innovative products to expand their appeal and offerings to different target audiences, as well as add diversity to our tourism landscape”. Ms. Alen Thum, Founder & Managing Director of The Cat People said, “We consulted with the Royal Albatross team to help apply innovation and meticulous attention to detail to ensure the safety and wellbeing of cats onboard. It is of paramount importance that owners fulfill their requirements and the cats are provided with a safe space to enjoy the serenity of the waters while enjoying priceless beloved moments during the sail. Congratulations Royal Albatross - we are proud and excited to partner with you and start sailing with our felines!” Cat Cruise promises to be a unique, fun, and memorable 2.5-hour sail-dining experience from sunset to moonlight, for both pawrents and their furkids that will take them from Royal Albatross’ berth at Resorts World Sentosa, along Sentosa’s amazing coastline and around the beautiful Southern Islands on board a traditionally rigged tall ship with 4-masts, 22-sails and over 200 ropes. Guests shall enjoy a delicious and beautifully presented 4-course meal with an optional 7-course and wine pairing upgrade (for humans only), all freshly prepared on-board with charming live-entertainment. The inaugural Cat Cruise shall set sail on Tuesday 8th August @ 6.30pm in celebration of International Cat Day and then on selected Tuesdays every month. Tickets and the full sailing schedule are available on the website at https://tallship.com.sg. More Cat Cruise sailing dates shall be announced in due course. More about Cat Cruise Cat Cruise was inspired by Dog Cruise and purr-sistant requests from cat owners to let their cats join in the fun. Although it may seem unnatural for cats to sail, it should be remembered that for over 600 years, tall ships have had cats onboard. Known as the “ship’s cat”, they were valued members of the crew and their paw-pose was to keep their ship rodent free and to provide companionship. It’s therefore logical to suggest that cats may still have sailing in their genes, and they are natural sailors!

I’ve spent decades dedicating my time to understanding ageing biology and chronic disease development and management, and we’re now at the stage where we can share cutting-edge diagnostics and interventions with the potential to prevent age related diseases with individuals for the first time in Singapore.” A far cry from the clinical feel of traditional medical clinics, Chi Longevity’s modern medical suite at Camden Medical Centre is designed to be private, with modern comforts, healthy refreshments and discreet service to make each visit a seamless and supportive experience.

“The art of hydration.” SIGG is a leading provider of drinking bottles since 1908. Thanks to the company’s rich traditional history, which is known for quality, innovation, design and environmental awareness, the SIGG products are synonymous worldwide with intelligent, sustainable drinking bottles. Originally, the bottles from SIGG, which are well-known for their long lasting quality and complete reusability, were primarily popular with alpinists and hikers. Today, SIGG offers a wide collection of functional and fashionable bottles for all walks of life and multiple demographics and segments. INTRODUCTION & MILESTONES The history of SIGG Switzerland Bottles AG began in 1908: Ferdinand Sigg, a metal working specialist, returned to Switzerland after years of learning and travelling. Together with his friend Xaver Küng, he established an aluminium goods factory in Biel. Sigg and Küng are united in their love for metal and their belief that aluminium is the material of the future. Right from the start, SIGG sells a wide range of pans, pots, teacups, cutlery and household products including bed and water bottles. Over time, the company has repeatedly succeeded in conquering new markets with new ideas. In 1958, the range includes well over 10 000 products! The SIGG bottle is added to the range of household products by coincidence. While producing pots and pans, a great deal of aluminium is left over as waste. During the resource-scarce war years, a new meaningful use for valuable raw material is sought and found: SIGG develops a bottle! In February 2016, SIGG is acquired by the stainless steel vacuum bottle manufacturer HAERS, China. With its access to the fast growing Chinese market and its know-how in stainless steel, polypropylene and tritan products, the new parent company is the ideal partner.Aluminium bottles continue to be manufactured at SIGG's headquarters in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. THE ART OF HYDRATION. EXCELLENCE SINCE 1908. At SIGG long tradition of sustainability dates back to the very first aluminum bottle and continues to this day with innovative ecological products and projects. For them sustainability is an ongoing process that requires continuous motion, determination and progress. They think about tomorrow and act today by developing products and supporting projects that promote sustainability. MADE IN SWITZERLAND Their logo with the red Swiss cross is used for corporate communication purposes and marks products that are manufactured in Switzerland. A manual quality check ensures that all bottles leaving their production line are in perfect condition. In addition, all their products undergo a strict testing procedure to certify safety from chemicals such as estrogen-mimicking substances, BPA and phthalates. DESIGN SIGG manufactures products that meet contemporary tastes and set new standards at the same time. The unmistakable design of SIGG bottles has long since attained cult status. This has been confirmed by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which displays two SIGG bottles in its permanent exhibition. It all starts with a piece of aluminium that’s the shape of an ice hockey puck. Every puck is extruded by a 600-ton piston stroke and then flows along the piston, transforming it into a cylinder. The cylinder gets shaped into a bottle with the help of up to 26 differently shaped modules, each one moving the metal further towards the final shape. Once the bottle has the iconic form that we all know, the next step is to coat the inside of the bottle with our liner to avoid direct contact between the liquids and the aluminium. TRADITION, INNOVATION & ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS SIGG has been taking care of the environment as part of their overall goal when establishing the brand, and that is why they offer sustainable alternatives to disposable PET bottles. They haven't just been doing this since the latest UN climate report, but for over 100 years. In their company, tradition and innovation go hand in hand - their drinking bottles have cult status and are always setting new standards. Even in times of change, they remain true to their values and focus on quality, innovation, design and environmental awareness. Based on the success story of the original SIGG aluminium bottle and the dynamic SIGG Hot & Cold ONE Light made of high grade stainless steel, the company has expanded its product range with high-quality drinking bottles made from polypropylene, glass and Tritan™, underlining its core values of sustainability and versatility. Stay hydrated and save the planet. Slim, chic and practical. A convincing model update in the Hot & Cold One range proves how good things can become even better: 10% lighter, 10% more volume and 40% smoother running screw cap. Whether you are sports enthusiast, a fan of the outdoors or a fashion junkie, we have the SIGG bottle that is right for you! A water bottle for every need and taste, could be the ideal companion for everyone who wants to have a little bit more hot or cold drink “to go”. Slim, chic and practical! And pretty much a classic. CO-BRANDING SIGG has tied up key partnerships and co-branding with leading labels and brands around the globe for corporate gifts including Rolex Paris Masters, Locarno Film Festival, Saint Laurent, Roland-Garros, Zegna, The Mountain Studio, Highsnobiety and many others.

ArtScience Museum presents an Asia-first, one-of-a-kind experience that invites visitors of all ages to encounter nature’s ecosystems in a unique way An unparalleled multi-sensory journey through the natural world awaits visitors at ArtScience Museum’s latest exhibition, Sensory Odyssey: Into the Heart of Our Living World. Making its Asian debut on 27 May, this groundbreaking show will captivate visitors by unveiling the beauty of our planet's biodiversity through up-close encounters with diverse habitats teeming with life. Following a successful eight-month run in Paris at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History) last year, Sensory Odyssey is now set to take even more visitors on a voyage through seven ecosystems from around the world. As explorers for a day, visitors to the exhibition will join animals at a watering hole in the African Savannah, perch atop the rainforest canopy in French Guiana, and take to the skies with bats as they hunt for food. Visitors can also experience swimming with a family of giant sperm whales in the ocean near Mauritius and float across polar landscapes in the far north of Greenland, or even shrink in size to burrow into the ground before emerging in grasslands filled with pollinating insects. These environments are brought to life through ultra-high-definition video projection, spatial audio, and unique scents that engage and magnify visitors’ perceptions of sight, sound, and smell. Developed by a cross-disciplinary team of artists, designers, biologists, engineers, developers, neuroscientists, scent-makers, and media specialists, this multi-sensory show sits at the crossroads of exhibition, performing arts, cinema and technological innovation, as well as cognitive and natural sciences. “ArtScience Museum is delighted to present Sensory Odyssey, an exhibition that takes visitors on an incredible journey through the wonders of our natural world. This show emphasises ArtScience Museum's commitment to raising awareness of environmental issues, and is the latest in a series of exhibitions and education projects that demonstrate the importance of collective action in protecting and conserving our planet. As visitors enter each environmental zone in Sensory Odyssey, they will become part of a unique experience that will connect them deeply and emotionally with nature,” said Honor Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum and Attractions at Marina Bay Sands. “We have complemented the exhibition by curating an educational gallery that articulates the diversity of the flora and fauna our visitors will encounter during their expedition. On top of highlighting the importance of conservation and how to care for our planet, the gallery also includes local stories about nature here in Singapore. Meanwhile, a wayfinding guide will further deepen visitors' understanding of the biodiversity found within the ecosystems featured. We hope all our visitors leave the show with a renewed sense of wonder and greater empathy for our beautiful yet fragile planet," added Harger. “Our pioneering edutainment brand is all about combining old fashioned artistry with cutting edge research in technology and science to raise awareness amongst family audiences about everything which connects us to other non-human species, in order to nurture an enduring and caring relationship with our natural world,” said Gwenael Allan, Creator, co-founder and CEO of Sensory Odyssey Studio. With hyper-realistic large-scale projections showcasing breathtaking scenes filmed in 8K- resolution from around the world, visitors to Sensory Odyssey will experience nature and wildlife up-close, exploring their surroundings as engaged participants rather than observers. As part of the experience, Academy Award Winning composer Nicolas Becker has designed some of the 360-degree ambient soundscapes that, in combination with custom olfactory creations by International Flavors & Fragrances Inc, form environments of total immersion – from emitting the smell of damp wood and vegetation on the forest floor to the sounds of a mantis nibbling at its prey. Additionally, as part of Marina Bay Sands' upcoming festival 'Where Mind and Body Connect', the exhibition will bring visitors closer to nature as they clear their minds and get in touch with their senses. Taking place over four rejuvenating weekends from 17 June, this celebration of wellness will feature a slew of programmes that aim to enhance mental and physical wellbeing, offering individuals the perfect setting to unwind and centre themselves in the present. The exhibition is presented in partnership with BASE Entertainment Asia and developed by Sensory Odyssey Studio, in co-production with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France. By inviting visitors to physically experience the story of our planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems, the exhibition plants the seeds of a vital message about humankind’s interdependence with nature and the need for greater appreciation of the environment. Sensory Odyssey: Into the Heart of Our Living World will run from 27 May to 29 October 2023. Tickets and Reservations Tickets are available for purchase from mid-May at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and online. It is recommended that guests pre-purchase tickets online in advance due to limited capacity and timed entry of the exhibition.
