RCI-Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas has commenced its first season sailing from Singapore, departing on Thursday, October 29th, for a 4-night cruise to Thailand and Malaysia. The ship will operate a programme of 2- to 5-night voyages around Southeast Asia, calling at destinations including Penang, Phuket and Langkawi.

The deployment will also include a 10-night itinerary to Thailand and Vietnam, featuring calls at Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, as well as an overnight stay in Bangkok. Longer options will comprise 12-night voyages between Singapore and Tokyo, visiting destinations in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Ben Bouldin, Royal Caribbean’s President of Greater China and Managing Director for Asia, said the Singapore deployment would provide travellers with greater flexibility to explore the region through both short cruises and longer itineraries from a single homeport.

Onboard, Navigator of the Seas offers waterslides, laser tag, an escape room and a children’s aquapark. Dining options include Japanese cuisine at Izumi, Italian dishes at Jamie’s Italian and seafood at Hooked.

The Singapore programme forms part of Royal Caribbean’s 2027–2028 Asia-Pacific deployment. In addition to Navigator of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas will operate from Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo, while Ovation of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas will offer cruises from Brisbane and Sydney in Australia.
