You may zero-rate the sale of cruise package that includes docking or stopover at port(s) outside Singapore.
You have to standard-rate the supply of cruise package where the cruise does not dock at any port outside Singapore (e.g. "cruise-to-nowhere" packages).
Zero-rating relief is expanded to include transportation of passengers on a vessel so long as the vessel sails to or from international waters.
Consequently, the vessel no longer needs to dock at a port outside Singapore to qualify for zero-rating. The supply of "cruise-to-nowhere" packages can be zero-rated.
The processing fee charged by the embassy is for a supply of service by the embassy. This supply is subject to GST if the embassy is GST registered.

GST is chargeable on the portion of the tour package that is consumed in Singapore. The portion of travel package which relates to tour at other countries may be zero-rated.
For example, the price of your regional tour package is $1,000. It includes $300 for the tour in Singapore and $700 for the tour in Malaysia and Bangkok. In this case, GST is chargeable on $300 only.
