Royal Caribbean International’s has released the final part of their 2025-2026 Deployment — Singapore. The deployment, lasting from October 2025 to March 2026, will see the Ovation of the Seas sail a series of round-trip cruises from 3- to 8-nights long, visiting favourite destinations around Southeast Asia.
Focus on shorter trips
Royal Caribbean is focusing more on short itineraries, with a notable absence of long, round-trip itineraries exceeding 10 nights. Instead, a bulk of itineraries are cruises lasting 3 to 4 nights. This duration is perfect for a short getaway, and lines up with the local preference for short trips. Great for kids, who will be having their year-end December school holidays around the same period.
Ovation’s China-Singapore Repositioning
Ovation will be based in Tianjin, China (Beijing) before her Singapore season. To get to Singapore, she will embark on a 12-Night China to Singapore Cruise, with stops along the way in Korea, Vietnam and more.
