Royal Caribbean expands Asia deployment with year-round Singapore sailings
Navigator of the Seas will remain in Singapore through October 2027, while Voyager of the Seas is set to serve several major Asian ports.
Royal Caribbean is extending Navigator of the Seas’ planned six-month Singapore season into a year-round deployment through October 2027 as part of a broader expansion across Asia. Voyager of the Seas will also operate from Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Royal Caribbean executive Ben Bouldin described Australia as an important market for fly-cruise holidays in Asia. He said the year-round Singapore deployment of Navigator and the introduction of Voyager to Singapore and Hong Kong in early 2028 would give Australian travelers more choices across the region throughout the year.
Options for Australians include combining time in Singapore with a four-night cruise visiting Penang, Malaysia and Thailand. Royal Caribbean will also offer longer one-way itineraries between major Asian ports.
Asked about the potential for an Asian private beach club, Bouldin pointed to Royal Beach Club Lelepa. The South Pacific destination is scheduled to open in October 2027 and, according to Bouldin, represents a step toward extending the company’s beach club experience into the wider Asia-Pacific region.
