The Quantum of the Seas will extend its Singapore season through February 2022, marking the ship's third season extension in the city since resuming cruising in December 2020.

Earlier this year in April, Royal Caribbean International had announced an extension of Quantum's Singapore season through October 2021.

“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," said Angie Stephen, managing director, Asia-Pacific, Royal Caribbean International.

Royal will continue to operate three- and four-night ocean getaways on Quantum. The latest season extension will open up the opportunity for Singapore residents to spend Christmas and New Year on board Quantum.

In line with the recent government regulations, Quantum currently sails at 50% guest capacity, and holidaymakers from different households have the option of travelling in groups of five.

Despite the constantly evolving circumstances, Stephen added that Quantum's vast array of activities, F&B offerings and sea views have attracted many fans in Singapore. "There continues to be an overwhelming demand for sailings," she added.

To date, Quantum has sailed more than 60 ocean getaways in Singapore and served more than 82,000 guests without any Covid-19 occurrences on board.

Plenty of features and activities await guests when Spectrum of the Seas returns to sailing in Hong Kong from 5 October.
