Hosted at the stunning Marina Bay, the celebratory<br />

event featured a private dinner for 140 VIP guests<br />

from the Asia Pacific region and was the result of<br />

a close collaboration between Princess Yachts, the<br />

Urban Redevelopment Authority, the Public Utilities Board,<br />

the Singapore Tourism Board and the Singapore Yacht Show<br />

itself. To mark the event in true style, Princess was granted<br />

special permission to cruise around the protected freshwater<br />

Marina, allowing guests to take in the iconic night-time vista of<br />

the Singapore skyline including the Merlion and Fullerton Bay<br />

Hotel, while enjoying a spectacular laser show.<br />

Princess’ presence at the Singapore Yacht Show and the<br />

exclusive launch with Bentley marks a significant move to<br />

establish Singapore as a luxury superyacht destination, and the<br />

start of an ambition to realise the city as one of the world’s key<br />

luxury yachting hubs.<br />

Global Marketing Director for Princess Yachts International, Kiran Jay<br />

Haslam, said: “The professionalism and tireless efforts of everyone<br />

involved in Singapore made this one of the most memorable and<br />

magical events in our history. Our close collaboration with Bentley<br />

Motors and the Fullerton Bay Hotel meant we were able to create an<br />

incredible evening, revealing the world’s most impressive luxury SUV<br />

from Bentley alongside a private cruising experience on-board our<br />

stunning Princess 56 yacht – all within the surrounds of one of the<br />

finest hotels in world.”<br />

David Jackson, Regional Manager for South East Asia & Australasia at<br />

Bentley Motors Ltd, commented: “Together with our friends at Princess<br />

Yachts we were able to create a simply spectacular evening. The allnew<br />

Bentayga, the world’s finest luxury SUV, was in great company<br />

with our VIP guests experiencing a unique and seamless link in terms<br />

of both luxury and performance. It was an impressive moment for two<br />

iconic British brands committed to unsurpassed design, craftsmanship<br />

and beauty, with a simply stunning backdrop in Singapore, together<br />

with special guests from all across Asia Pacific.”<br />
