Travel buddies
Is your clique of regular travel buddies debating over which destination to visit next? Skip the arguments and board a cruise on Ovation of the Seas this year. This floating hotel whisks you away to multiple Southeast Asian ports of call like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, while eliminating the hassle of repeatedly scanning passports, figuring out transport, and checking in and out of hotels.
You could be tucking into Penang’s street food one day and relaxing on Phuket’s beaches the next, all without repacking your suitcase. Choose from 3- to 8-night itineraries, including longer voyages with overnight stays in destinations like Phuket, offering deeper cultural immersion. Or escape to Bali and Lombok, exploring its waterfalls and temples.
For those with broader horizons, Royal Caribbean also offers cruises from other global ports, opening up a world of possibilities beyond Southeast Asia. What’s more, Ovation of the Seas transforms travel time into leisure time, allowing you to enjoy onboard amenities while en route to your next adventure.
Thrill-seekers
Speaking of which, endless attractions aboard Ovation of the Seas promise to offer rush after rush for hardcore thrill-seekers. To begin with, ascend to new heights in the North Star, a glass observation capsule offering breathtaking 360-degree views from 300 feet above the sea – a Guinness World Record holder for the tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship.
Then hang ten on the FlowRider surf simulator, a 40-foot-long wave machine perfect for catching the ultimate surf. Experience the sensation of freefall with RipCord by iFLY, a skydiving simulator that delivers the rush of air currents without leaving the ship.
Can’t get enough of the air up there? Test your limits on the Rock Climbing Wall, as you scale 40 feet above deck with unparalleled ocean vistas. Ovation of the Seas isn’t just a cruise; it’s an adventure playground designed to ignite your adrenaline and get your heart pumping.
Couples in love
For those looking for a romantic escape, every moment on board Ovation of the Seas is an opportunity for connection. Start your day with an exclusive behind-the-scenes galley tour, witnessing the culinary magic that brings your dining experiences to life. This is followed by a delectable brunch paired with free-flowing sparkling wine.
Later, retreat to the Solarium, an adults-only sanctuary bathed in natural light. Here, amid crystalline pools and bubbling whirlpools, bask in panoramic ocean views and each other’s company. Back that up with a couples’ massage at the Vitality Spa, where expert therapists will melt away any stress and leave you both feeling rejuvenated.
As twilight paints the sky, snuggle up under a blanket for an outdoor movie on the pool deck. Or explore the ship’s electrifying nightlife – sip bespoke cocktails crafted by robotic bartenders at the futuristic Bionic Bar, dance the night away in pulsating nightclubs, or share intimate conversations over live acoustic music in a cosy pub.
Families with young kids
The kids aren’t left out either on Ovation of the Seas, where family fun is a top priority. Parents will appreciate the fuss-free nature of cruising, especially with young children. Need a nap or forgot a favourite toy? Your stateroom is just a short walk away.
The pool deck is a family paradise, offering a variety of indoor and outdoor pools for splashing and sunbathing. Splashaway Bay guarantees hours of fun with colourful waterslides, cannons and a giant drench bucket that will have kids squealing with delight. Then buckle up for endless play in the two-storey SeaPlex, with everything from arcade games to bumper cars – a surefire hit with all ages.
And with the award-winning Adventure Ocean programme, kids from toddlers to pre-teens can look forward to age-appropriate activities. Themed parties, educational games, and exciting adventures will ensure everyone has a fantastic time, while parents benefit from some us-time too.
Multigenerational families
Whether you’re a grandchild or a grandparent, boredom on Ovation of the Seas is simply not an option. The ship boasts a wide array of entertainment options, from audience participation game shows like ‘Love & Marriage’ and ‘Friendly Feud’ to hands-on workshops where you can learn napkin folding or make a sail-cation scrapbook.
Need more? Team up for a game of pickleball or challenge one another to who can make the yummiest sushi. Then get your groove on with dance classes, from salsa to hip-hop, or experience the unique Silent Party where everyone jives to their own beat through headphones.
Make sure you catch the three original productions at revolutionary theatre venues like Two70, a living room with sweeping 270-degree ocean views by day that metamorphosises into an immersive multimedia theatre at night. Be mesmerised by twirling robotic screens and aerialists soaring into the air as captivating stories unfold before your eyes.
Foodies a.k.a. every Singaporean
Ovation of the Seas understands that for Singaporeans, food is more than just sustenance. So it’s got a global epicurean journey in store for you. Included in your fare is a world of flavours at Windjammer, an all-day buffet spread of everything from beef tacos to chicken masala. The Main Dining Room elevates the experience with a rotating multi-course menu of international dishes.
Craving comfort food between meals? Dog House at SeaPlex serves up gourmet hot dogs with creative twists, while Fish & Ships offers classic British fare like crispy cod and hand-cut fries poolside. Pizza lovers can rejoice at Sorrento’s, where unlimited slices of classic Margherita and meat-loaded Carnivore await.
For a premium experience, indulge in family-style Italian at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver or savour prime cuts at the iconic Chops Grille. And definitely hop into the rabbit hole at Wonderland, where your whimsical culinary adventure begins when you touch a paintbrush to the invisible menu.
