The new futuristic Singapore Cable Car SkyOrb Cabins have been launched on the Mount Faber Line as part of its 50th anniversary. A total of seven SkyOrb Cabins are open for guests to experience from 20 March 2024.
SkyOrb Cabins – A cabin like no other in the world
Exclusively designed, the SkyOrb Cabin is the world’s first chrome-finished spherical cable car cabin. Unlike conventional cabins, the spherical design of these cabins breaks the boundaries of traditional cable car aesthetics, offering a futuristic and captivating look.
Fitted with a glass bottom to allow guests to view the scenery below their feet, the new cabins are see-through nearly all around, offering a stunning panoramic view of the skyline. As night falls, a captivating ring of lights surrounds the cabin windows, casting an illuminating glow that imparts a distinctly futuristic ambience.
The SkyOrb Cabins have been thoughtfully designed with double window louvres at the front and triple windows louvres at the rear, providing enhanced air ventilation for guests on board. To offer an exclusive experience, only seven SkyOrb Cabins will join the existing fleet, enriching the vibrancy of the Sentosa skyline.
“Each SkyOrb cabin, a gleaming chrome orb soaring through the sky, embodies modern design. These cabins offer guests a one-of-a-kind experience, taking them on a discovery between Mount Faber Peak and Sentosa, unveiling breathtaking views along the way,” said Mr Buhdy Bok, Managing Director of Mount Faber Leisure Group.

Collaboratively designed between Mount Far Leisure Group and renowned cable car cabin manufacturer CWA, the SkyOrb Cabins showcase product innovation and commitment to creating new unique experiences for guests. Based in Olten, Switzerland, CWA has enjoyed a long partnership with Mount Faber Leisure Group since the first generation of the Singapore Cable Car cabins was launched in 1974.
Tickets will be available for sale at the Singapore Cable Car Mount Faber and Sentosa Station ticketing counters from the same day. Mount Faber Line and Cable Car Sky Pass ticket holders have the privilege of upgrading one-way of their round trip (between Mount Faber and Sentosa Cable Car Stations) to a SkyOrb Cabin experience. This upgrade costs S$15 per person on weekdays, and S$20 per person on weekends and Public Holidays.
