The Singapore Cruise Centre (abbrev: SCC; Chinese: 新加坡邮轮中心) is a cruise terminal located in the south of Singapore in the vicinity of HarbourFront and in Keppel Harbour. Built in 1991 by the then Port of Singapore Authority and upgraded in 1998 by Port of Singapore Authority, it comprises two terminals, namely the International Passenger Terminal (IPT), and the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT). The Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd took over management of the centre on 1 April 2003 when PSA Corporation divested its non-core businesses.

The IPT handles international cruise ships, and has two berths of 310 metres and 270 metres with a height limit of 52 metres. With a draft of 12 metres, it can handle most of the largest cruise ships in operation today. It underwent an upgrade in 2005 to improve its passenger handling facilities.
Expansion
The existing terminals at HarbourFront were renovated in 2008 to optimize the use of available space. The entire level 2 is a restricted area, for the exclusive use of cruise and ferry passengers who have cleared immigration and security. Within this area, there are new and more exciting retail and F&B outlets. There are ample seats within this restricted area and features to please the five senses (i.e. calming water, music, greenery/landscape, cooler airflow etc.) for greater passenger comfort. The re-configuration enabled a smoother processes and passengers have a more stress-free and seamless travel.
