Royal Caribbean will expand its Asia Pacific offerings in 2027-28, with Voyager of the Seas sailing from Brisbane, Sydney, Singapore and Hong Kong between October 2027 and April 2028.
The ship will operate cruises ranging from two to 15 nights, with itineraries spanning Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. The schedule includes sailings timed around the Christmas holidays and Chinese New Year.
Voyager will begin the season in Brisbane, where it will offer two- to seven-night cruises from October through December 2027. Itineraries include South Pacific calls at Mystery Island and Port Vila in Vanuatu and Noumea, New Caledonia. The ship will then reposition to Sydney on a two-night coastal sailing.
From Sydney, Voyager will offer a new 10-night Christmas cruise to New Zealand, calling at Picton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, with a visit to Milford Sound.
Voyager will then head to Singapore, where a five-night itinerary will call at Ho Chi Minh City before continuing to Hong Kong.
From Hong Kong, the ship will operate several itineraries during the Chinese New Year period, including four- and five-night cruises to Ishigaki and Okinawa, Japan. Some sailings will include an overnight stay in Okinawa.
Other Hong Kong departures will visit Keelung, Taiwan, and Chan May, Vietnam, providing access to Taipei and the central Vietnamese cities of Hue and Da Nang.
The new Voyager itineraries will add to Royal Caribbean's broader Asia Pacific deployment. Navigator of the Seas is scheduled to sail year-round from Singapore beginning in October 2026, while Ovation of the Seas will sail from Brisbane and Anthem of the Seas from Sydney. Spectrum of the Seas will operate cruises from Shanghai and Hong Kong to destinations in Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
“Asia is home to remarkable destinations, flavours and cultures the world over wants to experience,” says Ben Bouldin, president of Greater China and managing director Asia for Royal Caribbean. “Even more vacationers can discover the region in the way that best suits them—whether that’s sharing a quick getaway with family and friends or setting out on a longer journey discovering new destinations.”
Voyager of the Seas, which entered service in 1999, features Royal Caribbean staples including the FlowRider surf simulator, The Perfect Storm waterslides, a rock-climbing wall, ice-skating rink, mini-golf course and laser tag. Dining options include Giovanni’s Table, Chops Grille, Izumi, Windjammer and Café Promenade.
