Asia Awaits: Royal Caribbean’s 2026-27 Cruises Promise Big Adventures and Hidden Gems

Royal Caribbean is setting sail on a whole new wave of Asian adventures for 2026-27, and they’re bigger, bolder, and more exciting than ever.

With departures from Shanghai and Hong Kong, the Spectrum of the Seas will cruise to some of Asia’s most beloved—and unexpected—destinations. From iconic Japanese cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya to the cultural gems of Vietnam and South Korea, these voyages offer a fresh way to experience the region.

The new lineup includes trips ranging from quick two-night getaways to immersive nine-night journeys, with standout additions like 8-night cruises to Mount Fuji and Nagoya. Whether you're into ancient temples, city skylines, or island escapes, there’s an itinerary designed to match your travel style.

Holiday sailings will bring extra charm, offering festive Thanksgiving and Christmas cruises filled with themed events, seasonal menus, and cozy onboard celebrations.

Royal Caribbean is also expanding from Hong Kong starting November 2026, introducing new routes to Okinawa, Ishigaki, and even a "cruise-to-nowhere"—perfect for those who just want to relax, dine well, and enjoy the sea without stepping off the ship.

Onboard, the Spectrum of the Seas delivers a blend of comfort, adventure, and wow-factor attractions. Guests can try indoor skydiving, catch panoramic views from a glass capsule 300 feet above the sea, or enjoy everything from sushi to Sichuan spice. Family-friendly shows, high-tech entertainment, and top-notch service round out the experience.

Whether you’re chasing your next big adventure or planning a relaxing break, Royal Caribbean’s 2026-27 season offers a fresh way to explore Asia—effortlessly and in style.
