Royal Caribbean International’s highly-anticipated 2024-2025 Singapore Deployment has finally been released! After news of Spectrum of the Seas’ return to China and a China itinerary release, the cruise line has followed up their Asia-Pacific portfolio with an itinerary release for Singapore, and confirmed Anthem of the Seas as the next ship in the fleet to call Singapore home.

Anthem of the Seas is now set to arrive in Singapore on 21 November 2024, and cruises are currently scheduled up to 07 March 2025.

No Year-Round Singapore Homeport In 2024

For the first time since 2021, Royal Caribbean International will not have a year-round presence in Singapore. The departure of Spectrum of the Seas in April 2024 and arrival of Anthem of the Seas only in November 2024 means that there will be no Royal Caribbean cruise ship based in Singapore during the transition period

This is similar to pre-pandemic arrangements, where Singapore saw Royal Caribbean deployments only during the peak season, lasting on-average from late-October to mid-April.

Anthem’s Europe-to-Asia Global Odyssey

To get to Asia, Anthem of the Seas will embark on a 38-Night Global Odyssey, spanning 3 separate cruises. As always, guests are welcome to enjoy the individual legs, or book all three for a back-to-back cruise spanning Europe to Asia!
