Great news if taking a cruise is one of your preferred ways of exploring the region. Royal Caribbean has recently extended its Navigator of the Seas’ Singapore season, giving you more chances for more cruises.

Originally a six-month seasonal deployment, Navigator will now be calling Singapore its homeport for a year, until October 2027.

From this October, it will be setting sail on two- to five-night trips to South-East Asian destinations that include Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. For a longer getaway, opt for the 12-night sailing from Tokyo, Japan to Singapore.

The extended Singapore season also features short escapes to Malaysia’s Penang and Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang) and to Thailand’s Phuket.

Chitra Rajesh Kumar, director, Cruise, Singapore Tourism Board, said in a press statement that the extension “…offers visitors opportunities to discover Singapore's vibrant city experiences and explore the rich diversity of South-East Asia, all within the same cruise holiday.”

Singapore will also be welcoming Voyager of the Seas next year. The ship’s itinerary from January to April 2027 will include a five-night sailing from Singapore to Hong Kong.
