Thursday, May 23, 2019

Asia’s largest cruise ship, Spectrum of the Seas, is on the Singapore leg of its maiden voyage.

The 170,000 ton ship owned by Royal Caribbean International has the capacity to carry more than 5,600 passengers.

Armed with innovations such like robotic bartenders, virtual reality bungee jumping and family suites with in-room slides, the ship hopes to cater to multi-generational families and millennial guests.

The Spectrum of the Seas is the first of three Quantum Ultra class ships.

The ship started its Singapore season this month, and has three cruises lasting between three to nine nights to destinations like Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Kong. It will arrive at its home port in Shanghai next month.

Royal Caribbean also announced a new seven-month home-porting season in Singapore for an existing 4,905-passenger ship, Quantum of the Seas, due to popular demand.

Mr. Gavin Smith, senior vice-president of International Royal Caribbean Cruises, said that bringing in two of the company’s largest and most innovative ships reaffirms its confidence in Singapore as the region’s leading cruise gateway.
