SINGAPORE, 27 August 2026: Royal Caribbean is expanding its Asia Pacific sailings in 2028 on Voyager of the Seas, offering two- to 15-night vacations from Brisbane and Sydney, Australia; Singapore, and Hong Kong, visiting destinations across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. 

From October 2027 through April 2028, the multi-city seasonal rotation brings together short escapes and longer, destination-rich adventures across Asia Pacific, timed for Christmas holidays and Chinese New Year celebrations.

Voyager of the Seas sails from Brisbane and Sydney before heading north to Singapore and later homeporting in Hong Kong. 

The season also includes Navigator of the Seas sailing year-round from Singapore starting October 2026, Ovation of the Seas sailing from Brisbane and Anthem of the Seas sailing from Sydney. 

Plus, Spectrum of the Seas will sail from Shanghai and Hong Kong to destinations across Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, giving holidaymakers more ways than ever to explore Asia.

Short getaways two to 10 nights 

  • From October to December 2027, Voyager will deliver holidays from Brisbane ranging from two to seven nights, including South Pacific sailings to Mystery Island, Port Vila; Luganville, Vanuatu; and Noumea, New Caledonia, before a two-night coastal repositioning down to Sydney.
  • Voyager of the Seas holidays from Sydney include a brand-new 10-night Christmas sailing across the majestic fjords and iconic landscapes of New Zealand visiting Picton, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and the breathtaking Milford Sound. 
  • A five-night getaway starts in Singapore and visits Ho Chi Minh City (Phuoc An), Vietnam, before arriving in Hong Kong, pairing two of Asia’s most dynamic cities with time to discover Vietnam’s dining culture.
  • For Chinese New Year getaways from Hong Kong, four- and five-night vacations visit Ishigaki and Okinawa, Japan. Select holidays include an overnight stay in Okinawa, giving vacationers more time to take in the island’s turquoise waters, local flavours and distinct Ryukyu culture.
  • For China and Southeast Asia discoveries, Hong Kong getaways visit Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan, where vacationers can explore the lively city known for its night markets and food scene. Guests can also visit Hue/Danang (Chan May), Vietnam, a gateway to ancient imperial heritage, coastal landscapes and central Vietnamese cuisine.
