Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas’ Singapore season will be year-round from October
The ship will offer short getaways from Singapore to popular destinations in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Singapore will soon be home to Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas year-round, starting from October 2026. The cruise operator announced this decision on August 13, extending the ship's stay in Singapore from a previous six-month deployment. Beginning next year, passengers can enjoy a two- to five-night journey from Singapore to various destinations across Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, including popular cities like Penang, Port Klang near Kuala Lumpur, and Phuket.
Additionally, Royal Caribbean is offering a 12-night expedition from Tokyo to Singapore. Chitra Rajesh Kumar, director of the Singapore Tourism Board's cruise division, expressed confidence in Singapore as a leading cruise hub in Asia, praising the extension's significance to Singapore's partnership with Royal Caribbean. The cruise line's president of Greater China and managing director Asia, Ben Bouldin, highlighted the ship's thrilling activities, world-class entertainment, and dining options.
Onboard, travelers can partake in a kids' aquapark, escape rooms, glow-in-the-dark laser tag, a Caribbean-inspired pool deck, theatre productions, and ice skating. Royal Caribbean will be present at Singapore's Natas travel fair from August 21 to 23, where visitors can learn more about the Navigator and the upcoming Voyager of the Seas Asia-Pacific sailings.
Booking for the Navigator will commence on Royal Caribbean's website on August 19. Singapore has been diversifying its cruise options since 2025, with new ships calling Singapore their home port, recording 375 cruise ship calls in 2025, and surpassing two million passengers.
