According to Marketing Manager PT.

Sailings are now open for bookings.
“We know that vacation time is precious and choosing how to spend it is more important than ever, which is why we are thrilled to welcome Spectrum of the Seas, one of the most advanced ships in the world, to Singapore in April – making Singapore the cruising destination of choice,” he said.
Andi Sasmita added that as an agent for Royal Caribbean International in Indonesia, he said that the cheapest price to go sailing with Spectrum of The Seas starts from IDR4.5 million per person for a three-night package.
“The Spectrum of the Seas cruise ship from Royal Caribbean, is ready to sail with a series of luxury entertainment attractions starting April 11, 2022 in the 3-night Ocean Gateway program. Royal Caribbean has decided that during the period from April 11 to June 30, 2022, we will hold a sailing Ocean Gateway,” he said.
However, but when asked why the Indonesian tourists who wanted to vacation on the cruise ship departed from Singapore, Andi then replied that there were several reasons, including the ports in Indonesia, let’s said in Tanjung Periok Port is unable to international standard serve for foreign cruise ships, our port facilities were still inadequate.
“Besides, the cost of the cruise ship departing from Singapore is all-in, starting from the room, various activities to eating. Access to Indonesia and Singapore is also relatively close. Singapore is close to Indonesia and now, because it has just been announced that going to Singapore, there is no need to do Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) and Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP), the flights are more and only two hours from Indonesia,” Andi remarked.
He explained, Singapore has a service that will help travelers to send luggage directly to the cruise center. Royal Caribbean International has a cruise center in Marina Bay. Singapore also has a service called fly cuise and what cruise-fly services are these? This is a service that helps travelers in Indonesia when they arrive at Changi Airport. We will help send their luggage directly to the cruise center that has been designated.
Cruise center services in Singapore have met international standards with a fairly large passenger volume. So, the services provided are carried out with sanitation and health standards that are adjusted during the pandemic. Well, what are you waiting for?
The Royal Caribbean cruise ship will also be planning to prepare Idul Fitri vacation packages for tourists from Indonesia, and several other Southeast Asian countries. Indonesian tourists who want to spend the Eid holiday with a different sensation can go sailing with us. [traveltext.id]
