Vacationers can set their sights on more ways to explore Asia and make lifelong holiday memories on board of Asia's largest cruise ship.
After two years of cruises to nowhere, Asia's largest ship operated by Royal Caribbean International, Spectrum of the Seas has finally sailing out of Singapore borders for its first ports of call in Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
With the combination of brand new thrills and signature favourites on board and ashore, its 3D4N itineraries make an irresistible option for those looking for unique experiences and a fuss-free vacation.
For those looking for longer cruises, Royal Caribbean has also announced new cruises of up to 12 nights to far-flung destinations in Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. These cruises are on top of its short getaways to Malaysia and Thailand.
"The combination of on board experiences and signature activities with the opportunities to explore Asia's cities, traditional architecture and exotic landscapes makes for the perfect way to embark on the revenge travel vacationers are seeking today," said vice president and managing director (Asia-Pacific) Angie Stephen.
The 347m long Spectrum of the Seas is an award-winning Quantum-Ultra-class cruise ship, offering 2,137 staterooms and a variety of activities, entertainment and F&B outlets, exclusively designed for the Asian market.
Here's seven first-at-sea experiences on board the Spectrum of the Seas that should be the reasons for you to book yourself on a cruise.
SKY PAD
Asia's first virtual reality, bungee trampoline adventure, Sky Pad "transports" guests to another time and planet by just strapping in and donning a headset.
Whether they are smashing sweeties in a sugar-coated world or travelling light years into the future, their virtual adventure will launch guests high into the stratosphere and let their imagination soar.
ULTIMATE FAMILY SUITE
A two-deck high, expensive multi-room retreat complete with its own in-suite slide and cinema which also doubles as a karaoke stage, the Ultimate Family Suite is definitely a luxurious pick for multi-generational families with young kids.
The suite is encompassed with the ultimate collection of memory-making experiences including air-hockey table and table tennis.
There's also a stylish separate master suite with a luxurious spa-like bathroom where parents can retreat.
NORTHSTAR
Located on the top deck towards the bow of the ship, North Star is a 15-minute journey that will elevate guests both physically and emotionally,
It is an exclusive and intimate experience that takes guests on a once-in-a-lifetime exhilarating journey in a jewel-shaped glass capsule that gently rises to more than 91 meter above sea level, and rotates upwards and over the sides of the ship to provide the most breathtaking, 360-degree views!
RIPCORD BY iFLY
The first sky-diving experience at sea allows everyone from first-time flyers to seasoned skydivers to enjoy the sheer thrill and exhilaration of skydiving in a safe, controlled, simulated environment.
The sensation of flying takes place inside a 7 meter tall glass flight chamber, the centrepiece of RipCord by iFly, giving guests the chance to fly while taking in stunning ocean views.
FLOWRIDER
Travellers looking for thrills can catch waves without even having to leave the ship!
Beginners and experienced surfers are able to hang ten by boogie boarding or stand up surfing on the FlowRider surf simulator.
Pair that with great views and the ocean breeze, the surf is always up on Royal Caribbean ships.
TWO70
Cutting edge transformative venues are a signature of the ship and that includes the Two70°, a revolutionary multi-level great room, named for its magnificent 270-degree panoramic sea views through vast, floor-to-ceiling glass walls spanning almost three decks, and seamlessly fusing entertainment and technology create a transformative journey for guests from morning to night.
SEAPLEX
The largest indoor active space at sea, SeaPlex is a distinctive and flexible sporting and entertainment venue with thrilling new features that will inspire guests of all ages to let loose and connect with their playful sides.
