Itineraries

Spectrum Of The Seas itinerary program is based on Asian roundtrips from China (homeports Hong Kong and Shanghai). The inaugural cruise (16-night Suez Canal itinerary) was from Barcelona to Dubai (departure on April 18, 2019). The second relocation voyage segment (RepositionCruises.com) was from Dubai to Singapore (14-night, themed "Spice Route Cruise", departure May 4).

The combined maiden voyage (51-day "Global Odyssey"/Barcelona to Shanghai) visited ports in 13 countries and was available for booking in 5 segments. From Hong Kong and Shanghai were offered also short breaks (4-day, one-port itineraries) to Vietnam (Danang) and to Japan (Naha or Kagoshima).

From homeport Singapore, Spectrum OTS initially offered only three itineraries - 3-day to Port Klang/Kuala Lumpur Malaysia (May 18 roundtrip), 4-day to Penang Malaysia (May 21 roundtrip) and 9-day repositioning Singapore-Shanghai (May 25) visiting Vietnam (Saigon, Nha Trang) and Hong Kong (overnight).

From homeport Shanghai, Spectrum OTS offered 4 roundtrips:

  • 7-day "Best Of Japan" (Kobe, Yokohama)
  • 5-day "Kagoshima and Okinawa" (Kagoshima, Naha)
  • 4-day "Best Of Okinawa" (to Naha)
  • 4-day "Best Of Kagoshima" (to Kagoshima)

For 2021 were scheduled 30 departures from Shanghai (4-5-7-night roundtrips).

From Hong Kong, Spectrum OTS offers 3 roundtrip itineraries:

  • 7-day "Japan and Philippines" (Naha, Salomague Island, Luzon Island/Subic Bay)
  • 5-day "Best Of Vietnam" (Danang, Nha Trang)
  • 4-day "Best Of Chan May" (to Danang)

Following the Coronavirus crisis, in 2021 Spectrum OTS had to restart with cruises to nowhere from Hong Kong (July through November). The "nowhere" schedule included the following itineraries (all without call ports) and departure dates:

  • 2-night (July 30, Sept 5, 17)
  • 3-night (Aug 5, 12, 19, 26, Sept 2, 7, 10, 23, 30, Oct 7, 14, 21, 28, Nov 4, 11, 18, 25)

  • Booking requirements for these voyages included: Hong Kong residents only, no Interior cabins (Oceanview and above categories only), passengers 16+ years old to be fully vaccinated (with the 2nd dose received at least 14 days prior boarding) and providing a negative PCR test (within 48 hours prior boarding). Hong Kong Tourism Board's regulations also required operations at 50% of the boat's max passenger capacity.

However, on June 30th, RCI postponed the homeporting and rescheduled it for September.

Spectrum OTS' first Singapore homeporting season (April 2022-2023) started on April 11, 2022. The schedule initially included only 3- and 4-night "cruises to nowhere" (Ocean Getaways), as well as (since June 30, 2022) 3-4-night itineraries visiting Malaysia (Klang/Kuala Lumpur and Klang+Penang). Fares for the 3-nighters started from US$310 pp, for the 4-nighters - from US$390 pp.

In Aug 2022 were scheduled longer (5-7-9-12-night) voyages for 2023-2024. The new program included Hong Kong, as well as ports in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka) and in Southeast Asia - Philippines (Manila), Taiwan (Keelung), Vietnam (Saigon, Danang, Nha Trang), Malaysia (Penang), Thailand (Laem Chabang/Bangkok, Phuket).

On November 8, 2017, was the vessel's keel-laying ceremony held at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg Germany. Traditionally, newly-minted lucky coins were placed under the hull's first building block (out of all 74 blocks). All these mega-blocks (hull and superstructure) are constructed and pre-assembled at Neptun Werft Shipyard (Rostock Germany), then loaded (via hydraulics) onto pontoons and shipped down Ems River to the shipyard in Papenburg.

Spectrum Of The Seas cruise ship construction

Spectrum OTS is the first "Quantum-Ultra" class liner specifically designed for operations in Asia (China and Asia-Pacific regions). As of 2017, RCI had 6 ships on order (under construction). The vessel's launch (float-out from drydock) was on February 25, 2019. Then it was berthed at the shipyard's outfitting pier to receive the funnel and North Star structure. The conveyance through Ems River to North Seas (for sea trials) was in March. Following the float-out of Spectrum OTS, into the covered building dock N2 was maneuvered back the hull of Norwegian Encore (NCL).
