Navy@Vivo25 is making its grand return to VivoCity from 21 to 24 November 2025, offering four full days of maritime excitement for visitors of all ages. Open daily from 10am to 9pm, this event is more than just a showcase of naval operations—it’s an immersive experience that brings Singaporeans closer to the life of sailors and the vital role the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) plays in safeguarding the nation’s waters.
For anyone curious about life at sea or looking for an educational yet entertaining weekend activity, Navy@Vivo25 promises a rich variety of activities, exhibitions, and interactive experiences that appeal to both families and maritime enthusiasts. Admission is free, making it an accessible way to spend time exploring, learning, and enjoying unique experiences in a central city location.
Explore the Shore Exhibition
The shore exhibition at VivoCity’s Level 1, set across the Central and North Courts, is the first stop for visitors. The exhibition is divided into four themed zones, each offering a deep dive into different aspects of the Navy’s work and life at sea. These zones combine interactive elements, hands-on simulators, and immersive environments to ensure a truly engaging experience.
Zone 1: Safeguarding Lifelines
Visitors start by understanding the strategic importance of maritime trade to Singapore. This zone illustrates how the RSN protects critical sea routes, ensuring that goods, resources, and services flow smoothly. Informative displays and interactive elements allow visitors to visualise how naval operations maintain Singapore’s prosperity.
Zone 2: Standing the Watch
Here, guests can step into the shoes of a sailor. From interactive simulators to the ever-popular submarine exhibit, visitors can gain a sense of the discipline, teamwork, and challenges faced by naval personnel. The submarine display, in particular, offers an engaging glimpse into life beneath the waves, letting visitors experience the confined yet highly organised environment of a real submarine.
Zone 3: Guarding the Unseen
The Immersive Theatre in this zone brings to life cinematic maritime missions, showing how the Navy identifies and responds to unseen threats at sea. This multisensory experience highlights the complexity and strategic importance of maritime defence, providing visitors with a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at operations that rarely make headlines.
Zone 4: Answering the Call
The final zone celebrates the dedication and teamwork of naval personnel while highlighting career opportunities in the Navy. Visitors can learn about the diverse roles within the RSN, from engineering to navigation, and see first-hand the commitment and skills required to serve. This zone is particularly inspiring for younger visitors considering a future in defence or maritime careers.
Step Aboard RSS Resolution
A key highlight of Navy@Vivo25 is the opportunity to tour the RSS Resolution, one of Singapore’s largest Endurance-class Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs), docked at VivoCity Promenade. Visitors can explore the vessel, gaining insights into naval operations and life aboard a warship. The tour also includes a close-up view of the S-70B Seahawk Naval Helicopter stationed on the flight deck—a treat for aviation enthusiasts and photography fans alike.
Attendees should note that touring the ship involves climbing around 120 steps on steep and narrow staircases, spread across roughly 12 flights. While this is manageable for most, wearing comfortable footwear is strongly recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Fast Craft Utility (FCU) Rides
For those seeking a more adventurous experience, the Fast Craft Utility rides offer an exhilarating journey along Singapore’s southern coastline. Visitors can enjoy the sea breeze, panoramic city views, and a taste of naval manoeuvres. Life jackets are provided for safety, and participants should be prepared for occasional splashes of sea spray. The FCU ride adds an element of thrill and excitement that complements the educational exhibits on shore.
Ticket Balloting for Ship and FCU Experiences
To manage interest in the ship tours and FCU rides, tickets will be allocated through a balloting system, which closes on 12 October 2025 at 11:59pm (GMT+8). Visitors can ballot for two ticket types:
-
LST Tour Only Ticket: Grants access to explore RSS Resolution, including a chance to see the Seahawk helicopter up close.

FCU Ride + LST Tour Ticket: Combines the ship tour with the adrenaline-pumping Fast Craft Utility ride, offering scenic views of Singapore’s southern coastline.

Live Performances at VivoCity Amphitheatre
Adding a vibrant cultural element to the event, the Naval Diving Unit will demonstrate their skills through Boat Physical Training performances, showcasing physical strength and coordination. Meanwhile, the SAF Music and Drama Company will deliver energetic musical performances throughout the day. Both performances take place at the VivoCity Amphitheatre on Level 3 and are open to all visitors, adding an entertainment factor that complements the educational aspects of the exhibition.
