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 />
