Take to the high seas and cruise away on holiday


Spectrum of the Seas arrives six months early in Singapore.

International guests are now welcome aboard Royal Caribbean International’s popular ocean getaways

AFTER such a long time staying put, holidaymakers can finally pack their bags from April 11 – six months sooner than anticipated, for the ultimate adventure on board Royal Caribbean International’s Spectrum of the Seas.

Sailings are now open for bookings onboard Asia’s largest, newest and most innovative ship for a spectacular three to nine nights of ocean getaways and sailings that will visit the best of Asia.

Choose from a three- to four-night ocean getaway this April to June, or the three- to nine-night sailings this October to April 2023 that will take you to visit ports of call in Malaysia and Thailand.

“We know vacation time is precious, which is why we are thrilled to welcome Spectrum of the Seas – one of the most advanced ships in the world, to Singapore in April,” said Royal Caribbean International Asia Pacific vice president and managing director Angie Stephen.

“The combination of experiences specially designed for the Asian market, together with signature Royal Caribbean favourites, will make Spectrum a huge hit.

“I would like to thank the Singapore government for their strong partnership and collaboration that have allowed cruising to become one of the safest holiday options in the world.”
