No chance, all freedom class ships have already been deployed.

This is my upcoming prediction for all Oasis class ships. Colored cells are already confirmed deployment by Royal, Grey cells are my predictions. I also considered a split season for WN between China and Australia, but with Brisbane struggling to fill a Quantum class and Lelepa still not open, I think it's unlikely.

So looks like both Jewel and Explorer are out for the APAC region.

Currently all voyager class ships are fully deployed for the season except for Explorer. Explorer is deployed until late November 2024/ early December 2024, after finishing Venice and moving to Cape Liberty. So Explorer still has less than half a season left. But if this is the case then Singapore could see Spectrum maybe remain till then? Which could make sense given how November is much colder to send the cold weather ship to say HK or another Chinese port.

Thanks for the correction.

I believe Explorer has called at Marina Bay cruise center for when she came for drydock years back. But, that was a non-revenue sailing to Singapore.

Is there a summary of all the released itineraries so far and ships? They used to have that on the loyal to you deployment site in the past years, but don't know what's happening with their quality these days... Very lacking.

Some people already found port calls for Anthem i believe? I can't remember where but i read it a few pages ago.

I'm talking about the 4N/5N Malaysia and Thailand cruises out of Singapore. What i meant was that they might bring a freedom class to do longer 7N/9N/11/12N itineraries and a Voyager class with the 4/5N ones.

Explorer has never been marketed in Singapore before, maybe it could be one of the ships..

I think what's coming to Melbourne will also be homeported in Singapore. But what ships are left? Hmm..

Spectrum is likely going back to HK. Both China and HK markets will be up and running.

yea now thats making it seem more plausible..

Indie has no itinerary yet? But we're only still in the middle of the Caribbean deployments no?

Spectrum is leaving Singapore, and something has to replace these itineraries down here. So what is likely is: - This marks the end of the Quantum class era in Singapore from 2014 till 2023, as the 5 year contract ends this year. - Singapore market is likely going to see a downgrade of product but royal thinks its an upgrade which would be homeporting 2 smaller ships seasonally. - I am guessing a Freedom and voyager class ship for this season. Radiance is too small and not attractive enough for the market on routine trips.

If it had to be named something from the official poll i'd rather it be called Idol or Star OTS.

These are not the ships I was expecting. They are too small. But since you pointed them out, i'll keep a look out for Jewel and her released itineraries.

If anybody notices a missing Freedom class or Voyager class ship in the NA rotation, let me know. I'm theorizing something with this round of deployments, which could affect several markets. Thanks in advance!

Utopia is not going to Asia.

Maybe they need to employ me, a geography major to sort out their mapping inadequacies! 😂

Dubai and India are two very different places, I wonder why it is just one entry?

If that is the case then tell me why Royal created a new production show for Spectrum post covid to serve the Singapore market, instead of having a broadway show onboard? Spectrum gets a lot of international fly cruisers. The majority of people from Singapore also speak English as their main language.

It's something called localizing the product for the market... You can't tell me a ship with a broadway musical in English would serve well in the Chinese market.

Makes it even more likely that Anthem will head to a different market then.

What does WWRY stand for?
