Gear up for a splashing good time as Navy@Vivo returns in November! 

From tours on board a Landing Ship Tank (LST) and fast craft rides around Singapore’s southern coastline, to naval divers showing off their brawn, to an expanded exhibition, there’s something for all to enjoy as this popular event returns to VivoCity from 21 to 24 Nov! 

Balloting for tickets to the Fast Craft Utility (FCU) rides and ship visits runs from 3 Oct, 6pm until 12 Oct, 11.59pm. Get your tickets here: go.gov.sg/nv25 

Here’s a peek at what you can expect:

Don’t miss the chance to see one of the Navy’s largest ships – LST RSS Resolution – berthed alongside the VivoCity Promenade! You can also snap a pic with the S-70B Seahawk Naval helicopter at the flight deck. [File photo: Navy@Vivo 2023]
Feel the sea breeze! Reaching speeds up to 25 knots, the FCU will take you around Singapore’s south to see some of the country’s key maritime landmarks. [File photo: Navy@Vivo 2023]
Lieutenant Colonel Lim Shi Hong, Commanding Officer of RSS Resolution and Head Sea Segment for Navy@Vivo 2025, hopes the event will give members of the public a look into the country’s past as a port city, and learn more about the Navy’s role in defending Singapore’s waters.

Navy@Vivo 2025 Chairman Military Expert 7 Koh Cheok Wei hopes that the interactive shore exhibition will allow the public to learn more about the Navy’s transformation through the decades. “We look forward to sharing this maritime experience with visitors during Navy@Vivo.”
The shore exhibition, refreshed with the Navy’s latest assets and expanded with the roving SAF60 exhibition, is 30 per cent larger than the 2023 edition! It will take place across VivoCity’s North and Central Courts to accommodate more exhibits. [File photo: Navy@Vivo 2023]
The simulators at this year’s exhibition have been updated to be more realistic, and will include a wider range of “training” profiles that visitors can try out, giving them an even closer look at how sailors prepare for operations. [File photo: Navy@Vivo 2023]
Don’t forget to bring your little ones, to try on Navy uniforms and become sailors for a day! [File photo: Navy@Vivo 2023]
