SINGAPORE, 30 October 2026: Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas arrived in Singapore on Thursday, marking its Asia debut and the start of a year-long season homeporting in Singapore.
Through October 2027, the ship will offer short-bream cruises to Malaysia and Thailand, and longer cruises to Vietnam, Taiwan, and Japan.
“Navigator of the Seas’ arrival in Singapore marks a game-changing moment for Royal Caribbean, making it easier for vacationers to discover more of Asia from one convenient homeport. With a range of short getaways and longer journeys to destinations across the region, Navigator gives vacationers greater flexibility in how they experience Asia,” said Royal Caribbean President of Greater China and Managing Director Asia Ben Bouldin. “We’re thrilled to welcome Navigator to Singapore and give families and friends more ways to explore, reconnect and make every getaway count.”
From Singapore, vacationers can choose from two- to five-night getaways across Southeast Asia, exploring the heritage-rich streets and renowned food scenes of Penang, Malaysia, unwinding on the beaches of Phuket, Thailand, or discovering the scenic landscapes of Langkawi, Malaysia.
Vacationers can also embark on a 10-night journey to Thailand and Vietnam, stopping in Ho Chi Minh City and coastal Da Nang, Vietnam, and spending an overnight in Bangkok, Thailand. For longer adventures, 12-night journeys between Singapore and Tokyo explore destinations across Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Navigator’s year-long Singapore season is part of Royal Caribbean’s 2027–28 Asia-Pacific lineup. From January to April 2028, Voyager of the Seas will sail from Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo, while Ovation and Anthem of the Seas offer adventures from Brisbane and Sydney, Australia. Quantum of the Seas will follow Navigator of the Seas’ season in Singapore, with cruises kicking off in October 2027.
