Following two successful seasons for Quantum of the Seas, which returned to safe cruising in Singapore in December 2020, Royal Caribbean International has heeded the call of popular demand to bring on an extension through April 2022.
Till date, over 100,000 guests have safely sailed on 90-plus ocean getaways. Royal Caribbean International’s comprehensive and multilayered set of health and safety measures have ensured zero occurrences of Covid-19 on board.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to extend Quantum’s ultimate ocean getaway through early next year, providing Singapore residents with more time to relax and unwind. Despite the constantly evolving circumstances, Royal Caribbean remains consistent in delivering a wonderful holiday experience. We know that with her remarkable breadth of activities, delicious meals and unparalleled views, Quantum has many fans in Singapore, and there continues to be an overwhelming demand for sailings,” said Angie Stephen, vice president, Asia-Pacific, Royal Caribbean Group.
Leap into next-level experiences
The first of its class, Quantum of the Seas is filled with revolutionary experiences from bow to stern. There is never a dull moment on board, thanks to show-stopping entertainment that blends art and music with cutting-edge technology; thrilling activities for the whole family in any weather; and impressive feasts at 18 different restaurants that take guests on a culinary journey around the world.
Star highlights include the RipCord by iFly sky diving adventure and the signature FlowRider surf simulator.
Unforgettable moments continue within every room, which offers spectacular views and deluxe amenities. Even in Interior staterooms, guests can scope out the sights in real-time from a Virtual Balcony.
Guests have the option of enjoying the best of Quantum of the Seas through three- and four-night ocean getaways.
Play and relax with confidence
Holidaymakers can cruise with peace of mind, as every effort has been made to keep guests and crew aboard Quantum of the Seas safe. Health and safety measures include pre-departure wellness screenings using gold-standard PCR tests, contactless embarkation and debarkation, and enhanced HVAC filtration systems and sanitisation to bring in 100 per cent fresh, filtered air.
Rooms are sanitised every day while guest are out making memories. All high-touch surfaces are cleaned with alcohol-based, scentless cleaning agents that are safe for the general public. New contactless delivery protocols are enforced to facilitate safe room service.
“The health and safety of our guests remain our utmost priority, and we are continuing to be nimble as we follow the science and work closely with the Singapore government and health authorities to evaluate, update and adhere to prevailing measures,” added Stephen.
Bookings are open.
