Spectrum of the Seas – Royal Caribbean

The Spectrum of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s first Quantum Ultra Class ship, launched in April 2019. It’s a high-tech, Asia-focused cruise ship designed to impress. With a capacity of around 4,246 guests at double occupancy, it’s packed with futuristic features like the North Star observation pod, RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, and the SeaPlex—an indoor sports arena with bumper cars and more.

Most of the time, Spectrum sails out of Shanghai and Hong Kong, cruising to destinations across East Asia. Think Okinawa, Fukuoka, Jeju, and even longer trips to Kyoto and Hakodate. These are typically 4- to 7-night itineraries, making it a go-to for travelers looking to explore the region in style.

The ship also features Royal Caribbean’s first “ship-within-a-ship” concept—a private suite enclave with exclusive dining and lounge areas. It’s a quieter, more upscale experience for those who want a bit more privacy.

Bottom line: Spectrum of the Seas brings big thrills and sleek design to the Asian cruise scene. It’s ideal for travelers who want a modern, tech-forward cruise with a mix of adventure and relaxation.
