TRAVELLERS looking to explore the Asia-Pacific region by sea will have more options from Singapore as Royal Caribbean brings Voyager of the Seas to the region for a new season running from October 2027 to April 2028.

The ship will sail from Singapore, Hong Kong, Brisbane and Sydney, offering itineraries ranging from two-night short breaks to 15-night journeys covering multiple destinations.

The programme includes cruises to Australia, New Zealand, South-east Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, giving passengers a choice of regional getaways and longer destination-focused voyages.

Among the highlights is a 10-night Christmas sailing from Sydney to New Zealand, including a visit to Milford Sound.

From Singapore, travellers can opt for a five-night voyage to Hong Kong with a stop in Ho Chi Minh City.

The line-up also includes four- and five-night Chinese New Year cruises from Hong Kong to Japan's Ishigaki and Okinawa, with selected itineraries featuring overnight stays in Okinawa.

Voyager of the Seas will also offer an extensive range of onboard entertainment and recreational facilities, including a surf simulator, waterslides, a rock-climbing wall, an ice-skating rink, a nine-hole mini-golf course and glow-in-the-dark laser tag.

Dining options will include Italian cuisine, steakhouses, Japanese dishes and extensive buffet selections.

Bookings for Voyager of the Seas sailings departing Singapore, Hong Kong, Brisbane and Sydney open on Aug 26 through Royal Caribbean.

The deployment forms part of the cruise line's largest Asia-Pacific season to date.

The wider programme includes Navigator of the Seas sailing year-round from Singapore from October, Ovation of the Seas operating from Brisbane after an amplification, and Anthem of the Seas sailing from Sydney.

Spectrum of the Seas will also operate from Shanghai and Hong Kong, serving destinations across Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.

“Asia is home to remarkable destinations, flavours and cultures the world over wants to experience,” said Ben Bouldin, Royal Caribbean’s president of Greater China and managing director of Asia.

The expanded deployment comes as Singapore continues to position itself as a major cruise hub and diversify its tourism offerings.

Singapore recorded 375 cruise ship calls in 2025, with passenger numbers surpassing two million, amid efforts to strengthen its position as a regional cruise gateway. - August 26, 2026
