HOLIDAYS TOO GOOD TO MISS AS OVATION OF THE SEAS BRINGS FAMILY ADVENTURE BACK TO SINGAPORE
Fan-favourite Quantum Class ship returns to Singapore for the 2025-26 season, offering bold getaways to Southeast Asia
SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2025 – Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas has returned to Singapore for a season of spectacular getaways to Southeast Asia’s most sought-after destinations. From now through March 2026, families and holidaymakers alike can look forward to everything from weekend escapes to longer adventures packed with world-class thrills, chill, entertainment and dining experiences for every type of traveller.
“Families remain at the centre of everything we do, and our ships are designed to bring everyone together through unforgettable shared moments – whether it’s exploring local cultures, enjoying world-class entertainment or trying new adventures at sea,” said Chad Grospe, vice president and managing director, Asia-Pacific, Royal Caribbean. “With Ovation’s return to Singapore, holidaymakers can enjoy the ease of beginning their holiday closer to home, while enjoying Royal Caribbean’s unique blend of adventure and relaxation.”
Royal Caribbean continues to introduce new experiences specially designed for the Asian market, bringing the best of the brand to the region.
“We are delighted to welcome Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas back to Singapore for her seasonal homeport deployment. Aligned with our Tourism 2024 vision, this exciting return strengthens Singapore’s appeal as a vibrant holiday getaway, offers families unique options to explore the region from Singapore, and underscores the cruise industry’s confidence in Singapore as their regional hub,” said Jacqueline Ng, Director, Cruise, Singapore Tourism Board.
On Ovation, holidaymakers can enjoy a wide array of Royal Caribbean’s signature highlights and experiences. Adventurers can soar on RipCord by iFLY, the first skydiving simulator at sea, or take in panoramic views from the North Star all-glass observation capsule, which rises over 90 metres above the ocean. For indoor fun, SeaPlex—the largest indoor activity space at sea—offers everything from bumper cars and roller skating to arcade games and a sports court. The excitement continues with world-class entertainment, from live music to jaw-dropping shows at the transformational Two70, where guests can enjoy cutting-edge performances that combine aerial acrobatics, robotics and projection-mapped visuals.
With 17 dining options to choose from, travellers can indulge in flavours from around the globe. Guests can enjoy fresh Italian dishes at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, Japanese favourites at Izumi, imaginative creations at Wonderland, premium steaks at Chops Grille, Mediterranean-inspired dishes at Solarium Bistro, or casual classics at the ever-popular Windjammer Café.
This season, Ovation will offer a variety of adventures from Singapore, ranging from 3- to 5-night getaways to 8-night journeys, with visits to popular destinations like Penang, Malaysia; Phuket, Thailand, and Bali, Indonesia.
- Short 3- to 4-night getaways make it easy for travellers to recharge while exploring nearby favourites such as Penang where guests can wander through George Town’s colourful street art and heritage architecture, while sampling local street food and browsing bustling markets. In Phuket, guests can unwind on golden beaches by day and experience lively night markets after dark.
- For those seeking a little more time away, the 5-night Penang & Phuket Overnight journey combines the highlights of both destinations. Guests can enjoy authentic hawker fare, explore cultural landmarks and take part in island-hopping excursions for immersive experiences.
- Guests can embark on a longer 8-night Bali Adventure, spending two full days in Celukan Bawang and Benoa in Bali. Vacationers can relax on Bali’s stunning beaches, visit coastal temples and experience the vibrant local culture. The journey also includes a visit to Lombok, Indonesia, known for its pristine shorelines, laid-back charm and natural beauty.
- Ovation will also celebrate the festive season with a 4-night Christmas getaway, departing 24 December 2025 to Penang and Phuket. Plus, to ring in the New Year, an 8-night journey departing 28 December 2025 to Bali combines regional highlights with unforgettable holiday experiences.
Holidaymakers can now book their adventures on Ovation of the Seas at Royal Caribbean’s website.
