Royal Caribbean has introduced a new programme of Asia sailings for the 2027-28 season on Spectrum of the Seas. The deployment covers 22 destinations, with itineraries ranging from three to 11 nights and departures from Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

The programme includes new longer itineraries of eight to 10 nights, with options for one-way sailings between cities such as Shanghai and Tokyo.

Seasonal itineraries are a focus. Spring sailings in May 2027 highlight bloom periods across China, Japan and South Korea, while autumn departures in October 2027 include stops in Seoul (Incheon) and Sapporo (Muroran) for foliage viewing. Selected itineraries include overnight stays in cities such as Beijing, Osaka and Tokyo.

Shorter sailings of three to four nights from Shanghai and Hong Kong target regional travellers, with stops in Jeju and Busan. Longer five- to eight-night summer cruises include destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul.

From Hong Kong, holiday sailings are scheduled around Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. These include itineraries of five to 11 nights, with destinations across Japan and South Korea, alongside seasonal onboard programming.

Bookings for the 2027-28 season are now open.
